Resin Transfer Molding

 

 

Resin Transfer Molding is an infusion process by which the matrix resin is transfered via pump into a matched tool that contains a preform.  

BENEFITS:

  • High toleranced dimensional capability with matched metal tooling.
  • Superior surface finish.
  • High production rate capability.
  • Near net shape, lower post mold processing needed.
  • Highest repeatability, lowest variability for product & process characteristics.

CHALLENGES:

  • Higher tooling costs.
  • Higher NRE costs.
  • Longer tooling lead time.
