Functional Capabilities
Research and
Development Support
LBI has thirty plus years of experience in hydrodynamic
marine structures, advanced composites, complex mechanism
design, plastics, and development of innovative ideas.
Typical associated tasks include; requirement analysis,
cost/cost-performance, trade-off, feasibility, and
conceptual designs.
Engineering Support,
Design and Specification
LBI employs and maintains all the equipment and staff
required to engineer composite structures utilized in the
marine industry. The staff and equipment include
Mechanical Engineer(s), Material Specialist(s), computer
modeling in Solidworks, Cosmos Finite Element Analysis,
CNC programming. Typical associated tasks include; design
studies, structural analysis, materials, detailed
specification, development test plans, configuration
management, and document control.
Modeling
LBI has the capability to generate computer models
(3D-solids) to be used for analysis and CNC programs, or
produce rapid prototype components (SLS, SLA). LBI can
design and build scaleable models for life cycle testing
through the use of techniques such as composite lay-up,
cast syntactic foam, CNC machining, and hand shaped
in-house model builder. The ability to transfer a complex
three-dimensional shape into a workable computer model
through the use of digital touch probe technology. LBI
has a 900 gal. salt water testing tank, a 40" dia. X
21' long hydrostatic testing tank, and a large capacity
oven for in-house simulation testing.
Prototype Development
and First Article of Production
The origination of complex three-dimensional wood or foam
patterns through the use of our 5-axis CNC machine
(Thermwood router), the ability to fabricate molds in
aluminum and/or composite materials for the production of
either finished goods or specific customer tooling
requirements. The production of a working prototype
utilizing techniques such as contact molding, vacuum bag
molding, vacuum compression molding, vacuum form molds,
and vacuum infused molding. LBI provides and maintains
all equipment required to machine, fabricate and
inventory master patterns and tooling essentials for
prototyping first articles of production and production
manufacturing.

Quality and Inspection
LBI currently employs a quality control department for
servicing our customer needs. The QC department is
responsible for managing the in-process inspection,
set-up, and executing functional testing, as well as
final quality inspection. Typical associated tasks
include; drawing and documentation control, engineering
changes, material control, nonconforming material
control, manufacturing processes, component inspection,
measuring and testing equipment, corrective actions, and
audits.
Supply &
Provisioning
LBI employs skilled labor for the manufacturing and
production of composite structures utilizing techniques
such as contact molding, vacuum bag molding, vacuum
compression molding, vacuum form molds, and vacuum
infused molding. Typical associated tasks included;
purchasing, inventory control, pattern and tooling,
fabrication of composite structures, assembly, shipping
and receiving. LBI operates an on-site wholesale business
that specializes in the materials and hardware for the
marine repair and overhaul industry. LBI maintains a
stock of fiberglass, vinylester, bonding compound and
epoxy resins, associated applicators and tools, along
with proprietary products.
