In the hand laminating process, glass fiber mats are impregnated with synthetic resin and rolled into a tool. The process is very suitable for prototypes and custom-made products in small quantities.
The RTM process is used to produce components from fiber-reinforced plastics in large quantities. Complex geometries can be realized with the help of vacuum.
The vacuum expansion process combines glass fiber reinforcement with foamed polyester resins in a sandwich construction. The result is resilient components with a low weight and high surface quality.
Fiber-reinforced plastics with a high fiber volume content and smooth surfaces on both sides can be manufactured using the wet pressing process. The process is particularly suitable for the production of smaller quantities.
In sheet molding compound hot pressing, premixed compounds of plastic resin and fibers are processed into fiber-reinforced plastics using low-pressure pressing.
In the thermosetting RIM process, polyurethane is processed into compact foam, integral rigid foam and semi-rigid foam. The process is particularly suitable for the production of large, thin-walled components.
With large-format 3D printing, we can produce large and complex plastic components efficiently and precisely. This process is particularly suitable for prototype construction, small series production and the manufacture of customized production aids.
