Trying to find a source for perforated fiberglass.
Trying to find a source for perforated fiberglass.
(OP)
Howdy all,
I am totally striking out on locating a source for perforated fiberglass. We often bond perforated fiberglass sheets and send them out to a machine shop to be perforated to a sepcific pattern, but this is such a fine mesh I don't think they can do it. For inlet cowl acoustic panels there is a septum bonded between two layers of nomex core. The septum is .012" thick made from fiberglass in a thermoset resin matrix and has a square perforated pattern with holes .020" apart and .008" diameter. Can anyone recommend a company that could produce this, or a company that could take a fiberglass panel and perforate it to these specs? What manufacturing process could be used to create this? Laser perfoating?
Thanks for everyones help.

I sent emails off to both with my needs, but I got the second one back. It looks like that contact is out of date. I appreciate the help.
