Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to develop designs for cored-laminate composite (sandwich-structured) products. This unit applies to an experienced technician working alone or as part of a team.The unit principally refers to the development of new sandwich-structured products using the technician’s application of in-depth knowledge of materials, process, equipment and problem-solving, and the range of materials and techniques that are standard within a particular enterprise or workplace.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
