Miloš Marec - Composite Engineer

Marec’s technical approach emphasizes material handling, optimized fiber orientation, and the controlled processing required to achieve motorsport-grade structural performance. He has extensive experience preparing complex layups, building custom mandrels and tooling, and managing multi-stage cure cycles — skills essential for producing lightweight, highly rigid components used in demanding applications. His work spans aerodynamic elements, tubular structures, structural supports, and custom lightweight assemblies, with particular focus on dimensional precision, resin-flow control, and achieving consistently high surface finishes. Marec’s engineering strengths include interpreting performance requirements, converting them into manufacturable composite architectures, and rapid design iteration prototyping. Drawing from years of workshop-level experimentation and iterative development, he has become deeply familiar with the composite manufacturing processes typical in motorsport, including autoclave-cured prepreg laminates, fiber-alignment optimization for load paths, and the production of components where stiffness-to-weight and failure predictability are critical. His practical knowledge positions him as a specialist who bridges the gap between design intention and real-world composite performance.
