This past week at CAMX, I had the privilege of talking with Tom Dobbins, president of the ACMA and Arseniy Bolotsko, director of digital strategy with the ACMA. We discussed one of their most recent projects, Composites Lab.
Composites Lab is a comprehensive online resource dedicated to educating anyone who has an interest in composites today.
Before CompositesLab, there was no central online resource like this. As the voice of the composites industry, the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA) felt compelled to change that. Their mission has been to educate others about composites and their many benefits and uses.
Composites Lab is meant for anyone interested in learning more about composites –
From the architect considering these materials for their next project, to the high school student who needs a primer on the topic before writing a paper.
This education platform demonstrates how composites are being used in a wide variety of markets including:
- Aerospace
- Architecture
- Automotive
- Energy
- Infrastructure
- Marine
- Military
- and Sports and Recreation
Composites are the material of the future, and this new site is the first step in making sure the world knows more about these amazing materials.
On this episode, both Tom and Arseniy will be discussing the mission behind Composites Lab, how it was developed, and finally how people can use this resource to learn everything from processes (open mold, closed mold, cast polymer molding), to materials and industry applications.
