CONTINUOUS COMPOSITE BODY MANUFACTURING

A composite body assembly and processes for creating the composite body assembly are described in embodiments of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the composite body assembly comprises an exterior frame comprising a continuous panel. The continuous panel may comprise a first skin, a second skin, and an inner core disposed between the first skin and the second skin. Furthermore, the continuous panel may be formed by a continuous manufacturing process comprising rolling the first skin and the second skin sandwiching the inner core. A double press controls the temperature and pressure forming the continuous panel. The continuous panel can then be cut and formed into an exterior frame of the composite body. Once the exterior frame is formed, partitions are provided, and doors are attached. Methods of hot plate welding provide a composite body that is entirely watertight with many components welded together to provide single-piece bodies.
