AZoM talks to DeWayne Howell and Jason Gabriel (Technical Engineering TenCate/CCS Composites), about the process of compression molding for composites and what the benefits and applications of this ...

Compression molding is the process we use at TenCate/CCS Composites. We can mold parts that are very small or over 5 feet (1.5 meters) in length, with thicknesses as thin as 0.050 inches and well over ...

The advantages of the injection/compression molding process for thermoset composite materials will be addressed as follows: 1) Thermoset composite history and transition of compression molding to ...

Compression molded “smoke pan” designed for conversion from 2-D to 3-D form. Hat angle and plateau optimized to prevent part from shrinking against mold surfaces. Angle changes optimized with radii to ...

Mass and cost savings remain strong drivers underlying material and process selection. Plastics have long been the materials of choice in many automotive applications based on the mass, cost, and ...

Injection overmolding of unidirectional fibers and preforms is an attractive process for many good reasons. It’s fast, consistent and repeatable, and it can be performed with a machine that is ...

System-in-Package (SiP) technology has been used for a wide range of electronic devices, but the warpage behavior of the package can be difficult to control and predict due to complex manufacturing ...

Tokyo — Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. has long reserved costly carbon-fiber-reinforced components to such applications as the hood and roof of its low-volume, high-performance GT-R sports car. But thanks to a ...

Italian machinery group Sacmi Imola S.C. demonstrated its Compression Blow Forming (CBF) technology for production of small blow molded containers for the first time in North America at NPE2009 in ...
