RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING PROCESS

Procedure:

• Material selection (resins and preforms)
• Mold design
• Mold filling (flow models, monitoring with sensors)
• Curing (cure models, cure monitoring)
• Controls

	Reinforcement Assembly Forming Skeleton of Structure
	Mold Designed to Provide for Resin Injection, Venting and Optimized Resin Flow
	Resin Metering, Mixing, Heating and Injection
	Prescribed Time - Temperature Cure Cycle
	Removal of Part
