Fiberglass and Composite Services

Composite Engineering Design, Inc. offers a wide array of fiberglass and composite services and technologies to our customers in order to meet the requirements of their projects. Below is a partial list of the services in which CED excels.  

  • Vacuum Bagging

    Includes vacuum bagging and oven curing of prepreg fiberglass and carbon fiber parts.

  • Hand Layup

    Some parts still require hand layup. Very often, legacy drawings still call out hand layup as the only process.

  • Oven Curing

    Oven curing of prepreg fiberglass and carbon fiber parts. We also oven cure certain milspec paints and the bonding together of components.

  • Resin Infusion

    For parts that require a finish on both sides.

  • Bonding of Parts and Components

    Bonding parts/components together according to milspec requirements. Examples include bonding Viton rubber to titanium. Bonding agent comes in frozen (-80F) and requires vacuum bagging and oven curing.
