TECHNOLOGY
The process for manufacturing composite component method allows for precision in material placement and pattern control. It leverages the strength and versatility of composite materials, offering advantages such as excellent strength-to-weight ratios and the ability to create complex shapes. Overall, this process aligns with sustainability goals by reducing the carbon footprint in manufacturing, contributing to lightweight vehicle designs for improved fuel efficiency, and enhancing the durability of components, ultimately promoting greener practices in various industries.Composites
The Process
In the composites manufacturing process, glass fiber rovings undergo a systematic transformation. Originating from the creel room,
the rovings are pulled through a series of guides, ensuring a controlled and precise movement. As they progress, the rovings pass
through a resin bath, where they become coated in resin, forming a resilient and adhesive layer. Subsequently, the coated rovings
are carefully pulled or wound into the mold, creating multiple layers that contribute to the structural integrity of the final
product. Once in place, the rovings are cut, and the mold is sealed shut. During this phase, the mold remains closed, allowing
the composite material to undergo the curing process. This curing period is crucial for the resin to solidify and bond with the
glass fibers effectively. After the designated curing time, the mold opens, revealing the newly formed composite part, and the
spring in the mold is demolded, completing the composites manufacturing cycle.
