Our global composite structures and panels division, Bespoke Composite Panels, has been developing, manufacturing bespoke products as well as large format printing vacuum tables since 1988 and has built up a global reputation in the field of lightweight panels and elements.
Encocam’s Bespoke Composite Panels division is a UK-based specialist in the design, manufacture and refurbishment of bespoke aluminium composite panels and vacuum tables, with over 35 years of industry experience. Serving clients across rail, marine, aviation, printing and industrial sectors worldwide, the company offers a complete design-to-manufacturing service, including FEA (Finite Element Analysis) modelling, from a single, expert source.
What Is an Aluminium Composite Panel?
An aluminium composite panel consists of an aluminium honeycomb core bonded between two aluminium alloy face skins. The layers are pressed and cured using a high-strength engineering adhesive, producing a panel that is simultaneously lightweight, rigid and highly durable.
This combination of low weight and structural strength makes aluminium composite panels an ideal solution for applications where performance and weight savings are both critical.
Structural Foam Panels
In addition to aluminium honeycomb composite panels, Bespoke Composite Panels also designs and manufactures structural foam core panels – an alternative sandwich construction that offers excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio and strong thermal and acoustic insulation properties. Structural foam panels are produced by bonding a rigid closed-cell foam core, typically polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) foam, between two face skins of aluminium, fibreglass or other composite materials. The result is a panel with high compressive and shear strength, good impact resistance and superior moisture resistance compared to many traditional materials. This makes structural foam panels particularly well suited to marine interiors, rail vehicle fitouts, cold storage environments and any application where both structural performance and insulation are required. As with all products from Bespoke Composite Panels, structural foam panels can be fully engineered to client specification, including FEA-validated designs and CNC-machined to precise tolerances.
