COMPRESSION MOLDING
Let us show you how compression molding can bring improved value to you and your customers.
Pressure, along with heat, helps eliminate air pockets and improve surface quality during curing. In compression molding, high heat and pressure are applied through a closed mold, quickly curing the composite, and the finished part is then removed.
BENEFITS
-
Cost-effective: Compression molding is often inexpensive and can be a good option for short production runs. It has lower tooling costs than other methods.
-
Minimal waste: Compression molding produces little waste because it doesn't use tooling features that result in extra material.
-
Strong and resilient: Compression molding is a good option for making parts that are intended to be used often and under stress. The parts are shaped inside the mold without joins or multiple parts, making them strong and resilient.
-
Good for large parts: Compression molding is ideal for making large, bulky items with uniform dimensions. It's also a good option for thicker parts.
-
Molds last a long time: Molds typically last a long time without warping or needing to be replaced.
