Plascore Inc. has provided the team with Aluminum honeycomb cores to be used for our impact attenuator. Plascore Inc. is a global manufacturer of honeycomb core, composite structures and cleanrooms. Their honeycomb core is specified wherever high strength-to-weight ratio, energy absorption or directional qualities are desired. By using their honeycomb core for our impact attenuator we were able to absorb more than the minimum amount of required energy while reducing the overall weight of the component.
