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.
