Predominantly, if the metal part used in compression molding is tension or compression loaded, a ratio of metal part thickness to its extensional modulus, multiplied by the Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) ...

Those factors include macro-economic drivers like improving manufacturing in North America. Also, the fact that thermoset resin pricing has been less affected than thermoplastic resins because of ...

Injection overmolding of unidirectional fibers and preforms is an attractive process for many good reasons. It’s fast, consistent and repeatable, and it can be performed with a machine that is ...

Mass production using Composites is now possible with RocTool’s 3iTech®. The 3iTech® technology is the process of heating the mold by electromagnetic induction which allows to heat a compression mold ...

A study conducted jointly by ORNL and IACMI attempted to 3D print developmental tooling to compression mold sheet molding compound (SMC) using high-temperature carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics ...
