2023 JEC Composites Innovation Awards winner in the category Category Equipment, Machinery and Heavy Industry: IsoTruss, Inc. (United States) and its partners(s): My Learning Alliance, US – U.S. Bureau of Land Management Wyoming, United States – United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA– NIFA), United States – Utah State University, United States
IsoTruss was originally invented for aerospace applications and is ideally suited in load bearing structures anywhere low weight and stiffness are critical. Overall, the IsoTruss, Inc. Carbon Fiber Towers combine high performing continuous fiber (such as carbon, glass, aramid, etc.) reinforced polymer composite materials with a very efficient geometry to allow those elements to carry the load efficiently, allowing extremely lightweight and extremely high performance.
💡Key benefits
-Material Advantages: High Strength/High Stiffness/High Durability/
-Transversely Isotropic/Radio Frequency Transparent/Corrosion Resistant
-Structural Advantages: Resists Shell Buckling/Lighter Weight/Low Drag/
-Damage Tolerant/Aesthetics/Eco-Friendly/Corrosion Resistant
-Less CF to mfg/lightweight lowers shipping/install costs-reduces CO2 by 70%
In this interview, right after the Innovation Awards ceremony on March 2nd, 2023, Nathan D. Rich shares more about the project development with partners and what they expect for the future!
