Sportive. Elegant. Callaway AeroWagen.
Wixom, MI, USA, August 27, 2017. An extremely powerful and awesomely designed sports car – that is the Callaway AeroWagen. The carbon fiber parts for the shooting brake conversion of the Chevrolet Corvette are manufactured using RAMPF’s polyurethane board RAKU® TOOL MB-0600 and resin infusion system RAKU® TOOL EL-2203 / EH-2970.U.S. company Callaway Cars is famous for its modification of Chevrolet cars. One of its flagship models is the Callaway AeroWagen, a shooting brake version of the Corvette sports car.
The AeroWagen hatch assembly is a part-for-part replacement of the original equipment Corvette rear hatch, using the original hardware and latching mechanisms. This results both in the sleek bodyline of the car and a significant increase in cargo area volume.
Package components include assemblies of bonded carbon fiber moldings, manufactured by Callaway Carbon using RAMPF’s polyurethane board RAKU® TOOL MB-0600 for the models and resin infusion system RAKU® TOOL EL-2203 / EH-2970 for the mold and part production.
The master models for the mold are CNC machined from RAKU® TOOL MB-0600. Following the appli-cation of the sealer and release agent to the model surface, the production mold is produced using the epoxy resin infusion system RAKU® TOOL EL-2203 / EH-2970 and carbon fiber. The final composite parts are also produced via resin infusion with RAKU® TOOL EL-2203 / EH-2970.
The viscosity of RAKU® TOOL EL-2203 / EH-2970 and room-temperature processing allow for easy production via resin infusion and guarantee for an extremely consistent laminate thicknesses for minimal variables between production parts. Post-curing in batches aids high-volume production and does not tie up molds.
