In the composites industry, compression molding is among the apparently simplest processes available for fabrication: Insert material, close mold, add pressure, add heat, wait, cool mold, open mold, ...

At the upcoming Fakuma show in Germany, Netstal will present what company officials are calling a world's first: injection-compression molding on stack molds. Fakuma is set for Oct. 13-17 in ...

New molding process combines three techniques to create large thick-walled parts from high-performance thermoplastic materials.

Compression molding involves forming of complex shaped components by molding of a charge of fiber reinforced prepreg bulk molding compound (BMC) under heat and high pressures. Unidirectional fiber ...

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 ...

Until now, simulative mold and process design were limited mainly to modern injection molding technology. SIGMASOFT® has already been utilized successfully by leading elastomers processors, and their ...
