I have always wanted to set up a small venture with my own capital, and I am simply looking for some friendly technical advice. I want to know what the best alternative to Aluminium would be, in the composite world. I'm really looking to reduce weight, and perhaps gain some strength. It needs to be durable and relatively resistant to impact. Basically something with similar characteristics to Alu. I would be using it to make a base sheet, but would like to look at a working a solid profile cut. It doesn't have to be accurate to .000 etc, its fairly bulky stuff. I'll be reading into this stuff in my free time, but I'd like to get some direction from some more qualified people than myself. Thanks for reading, Will.
