What is Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM)?
25th April 2018
Resin transfer moulding (RTM) is a closed-mould process for manufacturing high performance composite components in medium volumes (1,000s to 10,000s of parts).
What is Compression Moulding?
19th July 2018
Compression moulding is a precise and potentially rapid process for producing high quality composite parts in a wide range of volumes. It typically employs a matched metal tool in a heated (hydraulic) press to consolidate sheet materials or moulding compounds at relatively high pressures.
What is Vacuum Bagging?
20th September 2018
Vacuum bagging is a very flexible process for consolidating fibre-reinforced polymers of a wide range of shapes and sizes.
The Short Beam Shear Test for Composite Materials
20th September 2019
The “short beam shear” test is a relatively quick, easy and inexpensive test to perform. This is due to the simplicity of its test fixtures and samples. It is typically used to compare or benchmark the performance of different materials for R&D or quality control purpose.
