Baltic 67_CS

Case Study

Baltic 67 Performance cruiser

Baltic Yachts drew on their 48 years of design and building experience to create a full composite boat, with a glass hull and full carbon deck. From concept right through each of the build stages, they worked in conjunction with Gurit Engineering and materials supply to realise their vision. Using Gurit epoxy SPRINT™ and Corecell™ M foam, Baltic were able to produce a strong, lightweight structure with a significant performance edge.

Case Study

Rafale ÉTS is a team of motivated engineering students that has developed a foiling Moth for the Sustainable Moth Challenge. The team chose Gurit Corecell™ M foam for the manufacture of the rudder and daggerboard components to achieve the manufacturing and operating performance required for submerged components.

CT scan table CS

Case Study

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.
