Fiberglass composites are highly tunable, allowing for tremendous opportunities and challenges from an engineering standpoint. It takes a special understanding of the materials and how they’re combined in a fabrication shop, plus a nuanced understanding of the mechanical properties to properly engineer a fiber-reinforced composite product. There are many fiber types, weaves, and orientations; many resin types with tunable chemical properties; many fillers that affect color, durability, and workability; many core types, thicknesses, and configurations. Add to that, complex geometries and the structural properties that shape alone brings to the table.
