Grievance:

            "Laminating tools are too costly."

Solution

LamRight tools will save you money.

Many of the laminating tools used in industry are hand made onsite—at a very high hourly rate—by each company’s laminating technicians. This takes time away from more value-added tasks, therefore reducing your company’s bottom line. For example, if your company’s production hourly rate is $50.00/hour, it may take a fabricator a few hours or more to locate raw materials, cut out a tool profile or two, and then finish them out. A few tools end up costing YOU over $100. But wait, there are also the opportunity costs associated with time lost on more value-added tasks that did not get completed while the fabricator was making the tools. The aerospace part that didn’t get built would have brought you 30% profit margin equating to $150. Now you have a set of tools that cost you over $250. Multiply this by every technician that builds their own tools… LamRight tools will help your company down the path on its lean journey.

Grievance:

           "We are spending entirely too much time reworking our parts."

Solution

LamRight tools help to reduce secondary rework.

We at LamRight are firm believers that spending quality time during laminating—using the correct tools to ensure that each ply of reinforcement conforms to the contours of the LM (laminating mold)—reduces an exponential amount of time spent performing rework. Examples of rework that will be greatly reduced include filling voids within the laminate due to material bridging, and, in the most extreme cases, redefining part geometry due to material non-conformance to the tool's surface and bridging. We at LamRight LLC believe this because we have seen it. A little more time spent during laminating using the correct tools will save a tremendous amount of time, helping to cut the fat out of the back end of the fabrication process by reducing the amount of Sand and Fill time and materials needed. LamRight tools will help to lean out your manufacturing process.

          "Our tools hurt our hands and are not high quality."

Solution

LamRight tools are designed by laminators, for laminators.

Besides the fact that LamRight tools were developed by a designer with prepreg laminating experience to be the most ergonomic and functional tools available for composites fabricators, there are other considerations that help to outline the superiority of LamRight tools. Many tools fabricated in-house often are not deburred properly, which increases the likelihood of introducing FOD (foreign object debris) within your laminates. Furthermore, the differences in the shape of each hand-fabricated tool introduces a learning curve until use of the new tool is mastered. LamRight’s consistent tools with their consistent finishes will help to set the standard of how parts are fabricated within your Controlled Contaminate Area (CCA) or bond room. After your skilled technicians learn how LamRight tools help each of them with their builds, LamRight tools will help you to achieve more consistent results. And we all know that consistency is quality.  LamRight tools will help to lean out your learning curve.
