It's an increasingly utilized manufacturing method in various industries to produce lightweight and durable parts for applications such as aerospace, automotive, and outdoor sports.
The RTM Light process involves placing reinforcement fibers, such as fiberglass or carbon fiber, into a closed mold before injecting them with liquid resin using a pump system. Vacuum pressure is then applied to ensure the resin completely and uniformly saturates all the fibers.
Once the resin has cured, the mold is opened, and the part is demolded. It's important to note that the RTM Light process must be carried out in a clean and controlled environment to ensure the quality and efficiency of the final part.
The RTM Light process offers many advantages compared to other composite manufacturing methods. Firstly, it enables the production of lightweight and strong parts with high precision and a smooth surface finish on both sides of the part. Additionally, the closed mold significantly reduces CO2 emissions and limits raw material waste, making it an environmentally friendly process.
Furthermore, RTM Light provides design flexibility and the ability to incorporate complex features such as specific insertions and reinforcements. This makes it an ideal choice for highly technical parts used in aerospace and automotive industries.
In conclusion, the Resin Transfer Molding Light process is an innovative and efficient technology for composite part production. With its numerous advantages, it's evident that RTM Light will continue to be widely used in the manufacturing industry to meet the growing demand for lightweight, durable, and high-quality parts.
