(Tooling U: Cleveland) -- To meet the needs of manufacturers who are increasingly using nontraditional materials in their manufacturing process, Tooling U announces a new web-based composites training program.

Tooling U, a leading provider of online training for the manufacturing industry, introduced this new curriculum during the Society of Manufacturing Engineer’s Composites Manufacturing Conference that was held April 12–14, 2011, in Dayton, Ohio.

“As manufacturers shift toward more exotic materials, they require training that addresses these new processes and materials,” says Chad Schron, division manager at Tooling U. “Now that we’re supporting companies in aerospace, we need to expand from our metal-based manufacturing focus to incorporate training for these modern materials.”

The composites curriculum contains 12 titles that focus on topics and processes such as lay-up, spray-up, vacuum bagging, compression molding, and composite repair methods.
