3-Day Introduction to Composites Manufacturing Bootcamp
*Special Offer*
Manufacturers can attend this training at no-cost thanks to SkillMill19TM @ Manufacturing Innovation Center. (A $1,200 value!)
The Introduction to Composites Manufacturing Bootcamp is a hands-on experience designed for individuals ready to explore one of the fastest growing fields in advanced manufacturing. From aerospace and automotive to robotics and next generation products, composite materials are shaping the industries of tomorrow and this bootcamp is your entry point.
Over three days, you will gain a strong foundation in composite materials, reinforcement fibers, resin systems, and modern manufacturing techniques through a blend of Tooling U modules and guided instruction. You will then apply what you learn by working directly with materials such as fiberglass and carbon fiber in a hands-on lab environment.
Participants complete the full composite manufacturing process from start to finish, including plug preparation, mold creation, composite layup, and vacuum bagging using professional equipment. By the end of the program, you will have produced your own finished composite part and gained experience in inspection, finishing, and defect identification.
In partnership with Westmoreland County Community College, this program connects directly to continued training opportunities through their Advanced Composites in Manufacturing Center. Participants interested in advancing their skills can continue into specialized programs, creating a clear path from initial exposure to industry ready technical careers.
