FABRICATION STRATEGIES

Techniques

Our capabilities cover a wide range of composite manufacturing techniques, including:

  • Closed Molding Processes (Infusion, Press)
    Closed molding uses sealed molds for processes like vacuum infusion and press molding, ensuring precise resin flow and high-quality surface finishes. Ideal for complex shapes and high-volume production, it provides consistent, strong parts with minimal waste.


  • Resin Transfer Molding (RTM)
    RTM injects resin into a mold containing dry fibers, offering control over fiber alignment and part thickness. It’s suited for large, complex parts with consistent quality, often used in aerospace and automotive sectors.


  • Prepreg Layup
    Prepreg layup uses pre-impregnated fiber sheets that are precisely laid and cured, typically in an autoclave. This method is favored for high-performance applications requiring lightweight and high-strength components, such as in aerospace.


  • Autoclave and Out-of-Autoclave Processes
    Autoclave curing applies heat and pressure for optimal composite strength, while out-of-autoclave (OOA) methods, like vacuum bagging, offer a cost-effective alternative for large parts without needing expensive autoclaves.


  • Monolithic and Sandwich Structures
    Monolithic structures are single-layer composites offering strength with simplicity. Sandwich structures combine a lightweight core with composite skins for exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratios, commonly used in aerospace and marine industries.


  • All Core Types
    Core materials vary by need: foam for versatility, honeycomb for high strength-to-weight, and balsa for stiffness. Each is chosen based on specific application demands like impact resistance or weight reduction.

Our expertise allows us to deliver tailored solutions that meet the unique demands of every project, regardless of complexity. Each of the manufacturing methods we employ is recommended based on specific requirements, such as the geometric complexity and dimensions of the piece, the desired physical properties, and the final visual appearance. Additionally, the type of materials, production output, and cost considerations are critical factors in determining the best approach. By carefully evaluating these parameters, we ensure that the optimal composite processing technique is chosen to achieve superior performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, no matter the complexity or scale of your project.
