PREPARATION
![](https://www.gerl-faserverbundtechnik.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/rtm-1.png)
- Cut pot semi-finished fiber product
- Possibly arrange the layers in stacks
FORMING
![](https://www.gerl-faserverbundtechnik.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/rtm-2.png)
- Drape the textile fabric in the forming device (”preforming”)
IMPRAGNATION
![](https://www.gerl-faserverbundtechnik.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/rtm-3.png)
- Place the preform into the mold
- Inject the resin
CURING
![](https://www.gerl-faserverbundtechnik.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/rtm-4.png)
- Curing at 800 to 1300C
- Post-tempering is possible
COMPONENTS
![](https://www.gerl-faserverbundtechnik.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/rtm-5.png)
- Ejection
- Refinishing
PCM - PREPREG COMPRESSED MOULDING
Newly development fast curing prepreg is preformed, and then cured in heated steel tool. Short mold cycle times.

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
