Why must a part be redesigned when its production switches from aluminum to composites?

What will be an ideal response?


More steps are required to make a composite part as compared to an aluminum part. Things like balance and symmetry become a large factor for strength. Also Composite parts are usually created by layers, so tight tolerances from the original design will be determined differently from the differences between the compaction of the different layers. Etc.
