Composite sandwich core materials are used in the construction of composite panels made up of three layers: a low-density core sandwiched between two thin, high-strength skins. These materials are used in a variety of applications, including boat building, aerospace, and construction, due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and stiffness. Composite sandwich cores are typically made of lightweight materials such as foam, balsa wood, or honeycomb, which provide the necessary strength and stiffness while minimizing weight. The skins are typically made of high-strength materials such as fiberglass or carbon fiber, which provide the necessary strength and stiffness to the sandwich panel.
By employing sandwich core materials in your part or mold, you can achieve much higher flexural strength and flexural modulusthan using skin laminates alone.
