Abstract
A method for creating a honeycomb core having venting pathways includes controlling where a resin is applied to sheets by creating a resin affinity portion and a resin repellant portion on the sheets. The resin affinity portion and the resin repellant portion forms the venting pathways. A honeycomb substrate is then formed from the sheets.
Claims35
A method for creating a honeycomb core having venting pathways, the method comprising:
- controlling where a resin is applied to sheets by creating a resin affinity portion and a resin repellant portion on the sheets to form the venting pathways;
- and
- forming a honeycomb substrate from the sheets .
A method for creating a honeycomb core, the method comprising:
- printing a resin material on selective areas on each of a number of sheets;
- printing an adhesive on each of the sheets;
- stacking the sheets to form a block;
- forming a honeycomb substrate from the block;
- and
- curing the resin material.
