RTM - PROCESS
PREPARATION

- Cut pot semi-finished fiber product
- Possibly arrange the layers in stacks
FORMING

- Drape the textile fabric in the forming device (”preforming”)
IMPRAGNATION

- Place the preform into the mold
- Inject the resin
CURING

- Curing at 800 to 1300C
- Post-tempering is possible
COMPONENTS

- Ejection
- Refinishing
PCM - PREPREG COMPRESSED MOULDING
Newly development fast curing prepreg is preformed, and then cured in heated steel tool. Short mold cycle times.

Laminate

Heat

Preform


Charge

Compression

Demold
- Is cost-efficient, if highly standardized Prepreg is being used
- Potential quality problems from CF or resin could be eliminated early in the chain
- Eliminates weaving step
- Suitable for thermoset and thermoplast resins
- Prepregs are easier to use by part manufactuer, no expensive tools
- Cycle times < 1 minute if thermoplasts are being used
