Processing technique with Easypreg carbon composites and use of the Vacum Pressform system
- 17 September 2026
- Mestre (VE)
- Start at 8.30 a.m.
- 8 CME credits
Composite materials and advanced orthopaedic applications
The training course is designed to provide in-depth technical expertise on the processing of carbon composites applied to technical orthopaedics, with a particular focus on the manufacture of orthotic devices and foot orthoses designed for joint support, postural correction and patient rehabilitation. During the day, the main composite materials will be analysed, including carbon fibres, glass fibres and polyamide fibres, comparing mechanical characteristics, strength and elasticity. A specific focus is devoted to composite Easypreg and different construction techniques, offering participants a comprehensive and knowledgeable view of the application possibilities in the laboratory.
From theory to practice with the Vacum Pressform system
A key feature of the course will be its practical approach, which will enable participants to gain a deeper understanding of how to use the system Vacum Pressform for vacuum thermoforming. Following a technical explanation of how the machine works and its configuration, the training will take the form of practical activities in the laboratory, with the fabrication of a complete orthosis, from model surveying to the preparation and processing of materials. The practical exercises will enable participants to translate theory into practical skills, fostering a direct understanding of production processes and consolidating the skills required for the effective use of the technologies covered. The day will conclude with a final assessment of learning, which counts towards ECM credits.
