Rubber is a natural substance deriving from trees, but to get it into its useful form, treatment in the form of a process called vulcanization must occur. Vulcanization cures rubber via the method of ...

LMG, formerly Lawton Machinery Group, has built a 500-ton down-acting compression molding press with an integrated material transfer shuttle system for molding high-temperature thermoplastic materials ...

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 ...

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 ...

Aiming to meet rising demands for carbon fiber composite unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) propellers, Mejzlik Propellers has added compression molding capabilities coupled with a snap-cure epoxy prepreg.
