High Volume Resin Transfer Molding Process
High Volume Resin Transfer Molding Process
(OP)
I've been researching and I'm looking to see if there any alternative processes to RTM that yield the same type of parts, but with low-cost and high-volume capabilities. Specifically multi-layered composites with and without a honeycomb core. The parts are smaller; roughly 6" x 6" x 3/8"(thickness) with some surface curvature similar to an ail foil.
I am imagining lower semi-automatic/automatic cycles similar to injection molding. Maybe there is a high volume RTM process out there?
Maybe thermoset injection molding process with an automatic layup and trimming of fabric before mold is closed and then it's pumped with 2 part resin?
Any ideas/companies/references with this information would be great.
Thanks!

I'm thinking prepreg.
