Prototype Thermoset part
Prototype Thermoset part
(OP)
Is it possible to prototype a part that will resemble a part made of sheet molded compound. The tensile strength needs to be 14 KSI and compressive strength is 30KSI.
I am not familiar with plastics. So please advice.
Thanks

It will not be SMC and will not have the same tensile and compressive strength. But it will give you an idea what your part is going to look like.

A quick look @ RPDG and forecast shows urethane casting materials @ ~10-11KSI, which is close enough to make me believe you might be able to find a 14 KSI somewhere.
some good vendors to check out for urethane casting:
dynacept
forecast3d
RPDG
vistatek
scott models (in cincinatti... these guys make stuff look real good)
