AZoM talks to DeWayne Howell and Jason Gabriel (Technical Engineering TenCate/CCS Composites), about the process of compression molding for composites and what the benefits and applications of this ...

Compression molding involves forming of complex shaped components by molding of a charge of fiber reinforced prepreg bulk molding compound (BMC) under heat and high pressures. Unidirectional fiber ...

Recycling plastic at home using 3D printed molds is relatively accessible these days, but if you do not wish to invest a lot ...

When engineers at General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products (GDATP) recently designed the ammunition container for a new aircraft weapon system, they decided very early in the process to make ...

System-in-Package (SiP) technology has been used for a wide range of electronic devices, but the warpage behavior of the package can be difficult to control and predict due to complex manufacturing ...

The hybrid-composite rear load floor uses unidirectional (UD) thermoplastic tapes plus direct-long-fiber thermoplastic (D-LFT) composites. Thermoplastic tapes provided high stiffness/strength in a ...

Piper Plastics (Chandler, AZ) reports that it has developed a proprietary high-pressure molding technology that yields near-net-shape polymers up to 2 inches thick without porosity, voids or sinks.
