Advanced pultrusion Faster lighter and smarter

Wagners Composite Fibre Technologies (CFT) is the largest pultrusion manufacturer in Southern Hemisphere. The AU$10M CRC-P project between Wagners CFT, The University of Southern Queensland, and Allnex Composites is a close R&D collaboration to advance pultrusion technology. The grand challenge is to increase productivity, product thickness range and fire resistance through novel preforming, resin systems and process optimisation. The project also supports development of new product lines for the civil and wider applications. PROGRAM SPEAKER 1. Pultrusion process monitoring and modelling Dr Tristan Shelley 2.
