Compression Molding



Compression molding uses heated metal tooling in high pressure presses to produce more complex, high volume parts with fast cycle times. Compression molding is a high volume molding method that yields fast cycle times, high part uniformity, and allows for metal inserts, ribs and bosses to be molded in the part. There are several materials used in the compression molding processes including, sheet molding using heated hydraulic press. Under the pressure and temperature of the tool set the material cures rapidly. Subsequent machining and finishing operations are minimal in compression molding so labor costs are reduced.

Advantages

  • Our composite production process offers several advantages :

    Fast Cycle Times
    : The compression molding process enables rapid production of high-quality parts at an incredible pace, making it an ideal solution for high-volume production requirements that demand fast turnaround times.
  • High Part Uniformity: Temperature and pressure control conditions during the molding process, compression molding ensures a remarkably consistent quality throughout every part, guaranteeing excellent reliability for large volumes.
  • Minimal Machining: Post-molding machining and finishing operations significantly reduces labor costs and enhances overall efficiency in the production process.
