AB Presented research paper is focused on the development of train front end cab, specifically on choice of material composition and production technology. Experimental part deals with a selection of the most appropriate multiaxial fabric based on its saturation by resin and type of polyester resin most suitable for low-pressure vacuum infusion. This technology is chosen with respect to dimensions of the part, resin savings (compared to hand lay-up technology) and also production cost of the cab. Prepared samples are evaluated regarding to the progress of production technology, part face quality (voids, dry spots, and delamination) and technological properties. As a result, optimal material composition for front end cab production is chosen and fabrication of prototype cab is conducted.
