Design optimization, predictive tools, and best practices for working with thermoplastic composite sandwich panels Thermoplastic composite sandwich panels are highly customizable structural panels that are stiff, strong, and lightweight. Performance and weight must be thoughtfully balanced, as a primary advantage of thermoplastic composite panels is greater strength-to-weight ratio than traditional panel materials.
