Krauss Maffei demonstrated, in real-time, the “Surface RTM” manufacturing process, by producing carbon fiber roof panels for the new Roding sports car 5 times per day on 2013 K show. The “Surface RTM” ...

This software is designed for simulations of mold filling and curing in resin transfer molding, a manufacturing process for continuous-fiber reinforced composites. It is based on OpenFOAM-6, a free, ...

AniForm, an advanced simulation tool that predicts the formability of composite laminates, is collaborating with Moldex3D to offer their users a higher-level RTM analysis. Nowadays, the composite ...

Advancing the idea of lightweight construction together: Martin Wippermann, Member of the Executive Board for Automotive, Vice President Veit Wagner and Stefan Tetek, Viechtach 11 plant manager, ...

The performance of the final product depends heavily on the degree of cure - making it critical to ensure that the reaction goes to completion for the highest quality and reliability. Achieving this ...

Choosing the right meter/mix dispensing machine requires careful evaluation of key material and process parameters to develop a precise specification, ensuring key metrics such as accuracy, output, ...

In composites, heat transfer follows resin injection and this heat transfer is very sensitive to processing conditions. High-quality heat flux sensors permit detection of the resin flow front and ...

An element of ready-to-move (RTM) construction that’s garnering more attention recently is the lower levels of waste generated by this type of build. Those close to the industry say that it’s ...
