Liquid composite moulding has been studied and practised for decades, yet turning a successful process into robust, repeatable industrial production remains one of the biggest challenges in composite ...

Those familiar with the i3 electric vehicle from BMW may also be aware of the extensive use of carbon-fiber composites to realize lightweighting. They may not be so up to speed on one of the key ...

A newly developed resin transfer molding (RTM) press from Austrian machinery manufacturer Langzauner installed at the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) will slash ...

Fiber-reinforced thermoset plastics are becoming increasingly important, particularly in the drive for lightweighting to reduce energy consumption while maintaining mechanical resilience. To that end, ...

Traditionally, building composite structures from materials such as carbon fiber has been a skilled manual process. The fiber reinforcement was first laid into the mold, and the resin was then worked ...

McCLARIN Composites has executed a game-changing Joint Development Agreement with ExxonMobil’s Proxxima™ business, aiming to disruptively accelerate the growth of high-speed closed mold composites ...
