Facilities

At Aerodine, we can boast the best in up-to-date facilities tailored to suit the demanding needs of manufacturing advanced composite materials. Our original 15,000ft² adaptable facility contains the following areas:

White Layup Room
This area is for cutting and layup of all uncured composite products. The room is temperature, humidity and Foreign Object and Debris (FOD) controlled.

Dedicated Areas
Our dedicated areas are self-contained to limit dust and other forms of contamination through process isolation and dust extraction.  Such independent areas include:

  • Demolding
  • Trimming and Sanding
  • 5-axis router – tooling and foam machining
  • Bonding and Assembly
  • Frozen Storage

Processing composites can be a challenging process, and heat can cause unfinished material to degrade. Therefore our materials are kept at extremely cold temperatures until formed and finished for assembly. This area contains a 63in x 40in x 85in Walk-In Freezer and multiple chest freezers.
