Production of the monocoque according to schedule
Last couple of weeks, the chassis team has been working hard on the production of the monocoque. First step was to finish all moulds and treat them with release agents. After this, the actual production could start. The monocoque consists out of 3 parts, the upperside was first in line. All layers of carbon fibers were positioned in the mould quite rapidly. There were no big issues during the placement of the fibers. Thanks to Fatol, who supplied the resin from Axson, it was possible to finish the production of the upperside at the beginning of last week. This was done by vacuum injecting the fibers with the resin. Everything seemed to go well, but untill the resin has not been cured completely, no clue can be made. Two days later the exciting moment occured: removal of the product from the moulds. Fortunately, the result was as intended!
