Motorsport Composite Fundamentals: Conclusion
Conclusion
02.09
| 00:00 | This brings us to the end of our fundamental composites course. |
| 00:03 | We've covered a lot of information in this course and you should now have a solid understanding of everything you need to know across the fundamental knowledge of motorsport composites and practical skills to put these to use on your projects. |
| 00:17 | While we discussed vacuum bagging, resin infusion and prepregs in the fundamental knowledge section, in the interest of keeping things digestible, we haven't yet covered these in a practical context. |
| 00:27 | With that in mind, check out the advanced composite course if you'd like to learn these skills. |
| 00:32 | Remember, if you didn't fully understand anything covered in these modules, it's easy to go back through and revisit anything you feel you could do with a refresher on. |
| 00:41 | Before we finish up, there's a few things that I think are important to reiterate. |
| 00:45 | First, modifying critical components on any vehicle obviously needs to be approached with care and caution to ensure that the parts are strong and safe. |
| 00:53 | We must have a good understanding of any changes we're making to a vehicle and the outcome that the changes will have. |
| 01:00 | Almost every change in an automotive application comes with some form of compromise and any effect on safety must be carefully considered. |
| 01:09 | When it comes to composite parts in particular, we need to consider not only the materials we're using, but the design of the parts and the quality of the construction work. |
| 01:18 | These will never be 100% perfect and while we're armed with the to get the best results possible, we still need to keep this in mind when using the part. |
| 01:27 | This course was designed to give you the knowledge and skills required to construct quality composite parts for your project. |
| 01:34 | But there's always more to learn. |
| 01:36 | So, if you have any technical questions or concepts that you'd like to dive deeper into, be sure to use the form below which will generate a topic on the members forum for discussion. |
| 01:46 | As with most things related to motorsport engineering, the best way to learn is by practical experience. |
| 01:51 | So, it's time to get out there, pull some moulds off some parts, turn them into high performing composite versions and take your build to the next level. |
| 01:59 | Thanks again for taking this course, I'm looking forward to seeing all your composite projects and discussions in our members forum. |
