Processes
Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber
Pre-preg is fabric reinforcement that has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. The resin system is typically an epoxy that already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, it’s ready to lay into a mold without the addition of resin or the steps required of a typical hand lay-up.
bladder moulding
Bladder molding is used for complex parts that require strict cosmetic requirements, tight outside tolerances or a combination of all three.
Autoclave
Our autoclave delivers perfect surface quality carbon fiber parts because of high pressure that compresses the parts and prevents air voids from forming.
Resin Infusion
Resin Infusion is a process by which vacuum draws resin into a dry fiber laminate in a one-sided mold. A rigid or flexible film membrane is placed over the top and sealed around the mold periphery.
compression molding
Compression molding is the process in which a preheated polymer is placed into an open, heated mold cavity. The mold is then closed with a top plug and compressed in order to have the material contact all areas of the mold.
product overlay
Overlays can be a cost effective means of achieving an aesthetic carbon fiber look on otherwise plain parts. An overlay is accomplished by adding a layer of carbon fiber over materials such as plastic, composite, or metal components.
