MANUFACTURING The aluminium honeycomb manufacturing process Corex aluminium honeycomb begins life as a roll of foil which is passed through a printer for adhesive lines to be printed on it. The foil is cut to size and stacked into piles using our stacking machine. These stacked sheets are pressed using a heated press to allow the adhesive to cure and bond the sheets of foil together to form a block of honeycomb which can be cut into slices. The thickness of the slices can be tailored to each customer's individual requirements. Finally, the honeycomb is expanded, which completes the...
