Title: Claude Canavese: Innovator in Composite Material Fabrication
Introduction
Claude Canavese is a notable inventor based in Groissiat, France. He has made significant contributions to the field of composite materials, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to fabrication techniques.
Latest Patents
One of Canavese's latest patents is a device for fabricating a composite material part. This device utilizes a method of injecting resin into a fiber structure. It features a first die with two adjacent support surfaces that define a reentrant angle. Additionally, it includes a chock with a wedge-shaped portion designed to press the fiber structure into the angle. A second die is movable relative to the first die, allowing for clamping on the fiber structure and the chock. The chock is connected to the second die by at least one link, which is hinged to guide the wedge-shaped portion towards the angle during the clamping process.
Another significant patent is a molding tool for producing a composite material part using a flexible preform composed of a skin and profiled preforms. This invention relates to a molding tool that coats a flexible preform with a matrix. The tool comprises a mold and a countermold made from a material with the same expansion coefficient as the preform. It also includes parts for filling three-dimensional meshes formed by the preform, ensuring effective compaction during the polymerization process.
