When Paul Dijkstra Composites began the build of Leonardo Yachts’ new Eagle 46 sailboat, a decision was made to try new approaches to sustainability and efficiency. Dijkstra approached Curve Works, a leader in adaptive mold technology.
Curve Works created a 3D Core Kit of thermoformed Corecell™ M foam core, which then served as the basis for the lamination of the inner and outer carbon structure, while reducing lead time and tooling waste.

The Centre de Development de Composites Du Quebec (CDCQ) in collaboration with the students of CEGEP Saint-Jerome were set the challenge to create a 3.8m long CT scan table for inspection of large parts, up to 70 cm in diameter and 450kg in weight. Guided by the CDCQ, the students chose Gurit Corecell™ for the structural core material to be used in the sandwich structure, due to its rigidity and unmatched dynamic strength.

Antares Catamarans are based in Argentina, and pride themselves on their personalized and exceptional customer service for their yachts. The vessels are currently built by the team at 40 Grados Sur, which has manufactured them since 2010.

The Esteban project is a team of 50 students from Polytechnique Montréal University whose aim is to design and build a solar-powered car every 2 years.  Gurit contributed Corecell M60 and M200 to the team’s conception of a highly aerodynamic, lightweight vehicle. The core supplied enabled them to design an aerodynamic carbon fiber envelope that was light, robust, and the desired shape. This weight savings was a major factor in Project Esteban securing first place at the Formula Sun Grand Prix Competition in 2022 and 2023.
