I am waiting to hear back from them, but wanted to ask when you guys use one material over another, preferences, thoughts on the different materials. I hear balsa wood still has one of the highest strength/weight with great compression strength but doesn't conform to complex shape, is more moisture absorbent and usually thicker than foams available. FWIW, it was used in production c6 floorboards. I see the soric SF is unique in that it's channels that make a resin/honeycomb structure when used. How does it compare to the Divinyl foams? Diab had 12 different types of Divinyl foam( PES, PET, IPN), Sintactic foams and I've seen multiple weight/density pour urethane foams. Honeycombs are on the expensive side, usually made of Nomex or aluminum. With how strong laminates can be made with soric mat and foams, when would you choose honeycomb? Is it when Higher impact strength is needed or is it when weight is the number 1 concern? I would think resin filling the honeycomb would be a concern, unless using pre-preg? Any thoughts?
