The industry isn’t new to the so-called “out-of-autoclave” technologies as a necessary step towards high-volume manufacturing. Unlike other composites processing technologies, compression molding is ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

With platens measuring 5m x 2m and a stamping force of 30,000 kN (3000T), this press is the largest ever designed for thermoplastic composite stamp forming. It is set to play a key role in the ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

The ability to produce quality products hinges on four key competencies: modeling of process form and precision levels, design tolerancing of parts and products, selecting production processes that ...
