Generally speaking we love the composites business, but we really get excited about programs that test the limits of carbon fiber technology and contribute to scientific discovery.
Last year we told you about this amazing prototype project we were working on with Purdue University for CERN. The prototype was designed and built for the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) detector. We are now hard a work on the final hardware and it’s looking great! Here are some in process pictures. We look forward to sharing more once it’s finished!
