Predominantly, if the metal part used in compression molding is tension or compression loaded, a ratio of metal part thickness to its extensional modulus, multiplied by the Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) ...

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 ...

Rib parts (top) trialed using spring-frame molding (shown here, bottom, with curved C-channel part) and double diaphragm forming (DDF) processes in the DARPA-funded and Boeing co-funded RAPM program ...

In addition to its considerably higher cost-effectiveness, the process has the great advantage that as well as the high pressing forces that can be achieved, temperatures above 450° can also be ...

Compression molded “smoke pan” designed for conversion from 2-D to 3-D form. Hat angle and plateau optimized to prevent part from shrinking against mold surfaces. Angle changes optimized with radii to ...

Economic lightweight construction is a major factor for the successful implementation of new automotive concepts in the 21st century. Fibre-reinforced plastics offer a particularly high potential for ...

System-in-Package (SiP) technology has been used for a wide range of electronic devices, but the warpage behavior of the package can be difficult to control and predict due to complex manufacturing ...

Piper Plastics (Chandler, AZ) reports that it has developed a proprietary high-pressure molding technology that yields near-net-shape polymers up to 2 inches thick without porosity, voids or sinks.
