Composite Technology
forming lightweight composite partsThe advantages of compression molding and lamination:
- Precisely define structural characteristics of the parts
- Processing of complex shapes and geometries
- Processing of parts with small thicknesses
- High surface qualities on both sides
The molding of composites leads to clear process advantages:
- Minimal cycle times
- Maximum process and lamination control
- Repeatability
- Process automation
