Processes -     Matched Die Molding

  • Resin Transfer (RTM) - Option for closed molding. Two finished surfaces. RTM is cost effective over labor intensive processes  when quantities are sufficient to justify tooling. 
  • Compression Molding - Option for closed molding. Two finished surfaces. RTM is cost effective over APM or hand lay-up when quantities are sufficient to justify tooling. & Injection Mold Components
  • Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) - Compression Molding

    Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) - Compression Molding

     

  • Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) -  Injected into a closed mold at low pressure 
  •  Protoypting and Design Services     -  SLA and Software Analysis

 

Prototyping and Design Services - Engineering staff offers extensive experience from concept to new product completion.

Enhance your designs through
  •  Computer generated SLS parts (sintered nylon)
  • Computer generated FEA structural analysis
  • Machined billets for testing and evaluation 3-D Cad solid models 
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
  •   3-D Cad solid models 
  •  Accurate dimensional design 
  •  Computer generated SLS parts (sintered nylon)
  • Cast tooling from existing shapes / parts

Our experienced design team can enhance your designs through  and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software to simulate performance with accuracy and speed. We then can generate precise prototypes using stereolithography (SLS) or m. Once you finalize and approve your product we can go to production using Compression, Resin Transfer

                               

Materials

Resin systems: Thermoset vinyl ester resins and urethane resins systems. Resins include bio-resin (30-50% soy & corn)

Reinforcement materials:  The primary function of reinforcement material is used to enhance properties of the resins.  Many types of fibers can be used for composites, including but not limited to, carbon, several types of glass (E, C, S or R, S2 or A), Kevlar ®, and natural fibers.   These are available in mats and strands known as rovings or twisted into yarns.  The fibers may be stitched or woven into various 2-D or 3-D architectures. See examples of  RTM reinforcement.

Core Materials: Foam, balsa Wood and Honeycomb cores and many more.

Colors: In mold color.

With an engineered, oriented composite structure, a crack will not propagate in the same manner as metal; the fibers act as "crack arrestors" and the loads find alternate resolution paths through adjoining fibers.
