Molding High Cycle-RTM system

Technical Classification:
[ Molding ]
Products:
[ Equipment / Facilities ]
Keyword:
[ CFRP ] [ continuous fiber ] [ high-cycle molding ] [ mass production ] [ trial production ]

Point of the Proposed Technology

〇 Increasing the productivity using a hydraulic press (manufactured by WICKERT in Germany) that has been proven in Europe
〇 Proposing various pieces of molding know-how that utilize the features of an injection machine
〇 Providing a comprehensive molding technology (HC-RTM) including materials and preform

Effect(s)

Mass production of a high-grade CFRP product through 5-to-10 minute high-cycle RTM molding

Conventional Technology


 〇 Autoclaving molding
   Although the product has high quality, the molding time is long and prepreg which is not suitable for mass production is used. Therefore, this method is expensive.

 〇 Conventional RTM molding
   Since prepreg is not used, this method is less expensive than autoclaving. However, since the molding time is long, the method is not suitable for mass production.
