The effect of X-core foam processing on surface defects in carbon fibre/epoxy sandwich composites: Redefining sandwich manufacturing with X-core

X-core is a novel foam core material developed by Donkervoort Automobielen, it enables a unique one-shot process for seamless composite sandwich structures with mould-defined features all-around. The foam is co-cured to carbon fibre/epoxy prepregs, in this form the process is currently used to make car components for the Donkervoort D8 GTO RS....
