Resin Transfer Molding
overall review score: 4.2
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Resin-transfer-molding (RTM) is a process used in manufacturing composite materials where liquid resin is injected into a closed mold containing reinforcement material such as fiberglass or carbon fiber.
Key Features
- Closed mold process
- Suitable for high-volume production
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Dimensional stability
- Good surface finish
Pros
- Excellent control over fiber orientation for optimized mechanical properties
- Consistent part quality with minimal voids or defects
- Cost-effective for medium to high production volumes
Cons
- Initial setup costs can be high
- Limited design complexity compared to other molding processes
