Development and characterization of composites

In this project, Global Heat Transfer Ltd. (GHT) partners with the Composites & Optimization research group at the University of British Columbia in the Okanagan in order to integrate additive manufacturing into GHT’s current production line. Fabrication of high-performance compact radiator cores through additive manufacturing (AM) will not only resolve some of the current radiator manufacturing issues, but also will make the manufacturing process faster and environmentally friendlier. Without need for metal forming, machining, welding, brazing, and molds and dies, the AM technology, which is known as the third industrial revolution, will allow production of new high-performance thermoplastic composite radiator cores with complex three-dimensional configurations through a single-step process with no time penalty.
