Predominantly, if the metal part used in compression molding is tension or compression loaded, a ratio of metal part thickness to its extensional modulus, multiplied by the Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) ...

The industry isn’t new to the so-called “out-of-autoclave” technologies as a necessary step towards high-volume manufacturing. Unlike other composites processing technologies, compression molding is ...

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 ...

The hybrid-composite rear load floor uses unidirectional (UD) thermoplastic tapes plus direct-long-fiber thermoplastic (D-LFT) composites. Thermoplastic tapes provided high stiffness/strength in a ...

The decision to invest in a 220-ton Nissei two-shot press was a strategic move made by C&J Industries, Meadville, Pa., to expand its capabilities. The selection of this press was a deliberate internal ...

This article examines the various uses of presses in research and manufacturing, while exploring some of the different industries in which they are used. Omnipresent in both industry manufacturing and ...
