Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply, form and integrate fibre-reinforced components using manual and mechanical methods in marine vessel and aircraft construction applications. It applies to component construction carried out for mould installation, and application and forming operations conducted within a mould or over a former assembly using a variety of glass reinforcements and other fibres.Where mark off/out skills is required unit MEM12007 Mark off/out structural fabrications and shapes should also be selected.Where straightforward application of fibre-reinforced materials and no forming or integrating is required unit MEM25001 Apply fibre-reinforced materials should be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
