Light rtm manufacturing.

Lrtm light resin transfer moulding is one of the technologies of creating compound products. It consist of inserting resin between two tightly fitting moulds with small pressure. Light rtm is an excellent process for manufacturing parts that require both inside and outside finished surfaces. Rtm light is one of the many liquid composite moulding lcm closed mould composites manufacturing processes.

Light rtm also produces finished surfaces on both sides of the part reduces labor costs enhances dimensional stability and improves process control. But lrtm requires less costly tooling and can still provide excellent cosmetics on both sides of a part in an efficient manufacturing process. Fiberglass reinforcement is put dry in the mould which is covered with gel coat. Light resin transfer molding or light rtm is a process by which composite products are manufactured using a closed mold system.

This video shows a vacuum clamped rtm test panel mould in use. Light rtm lrtm is a vacuum assisted closed molding process capable of high quality two sided finishes molded at low to moderate production volumes. Like other closed molding composites processes light resin transfer molding lrtm offers reduced waste and emissions efficient materials use and a consistent and repeatable process. L rtm light resin transfer molding is one of the molding methods.

The closed mold consists of an a side mold base mold and a semi rigid b side mold counter mold that is sealed to the a side mold using vacuum pressure. Additionally the whole process is supported by vacuum pressure. This method has rapidly become popular in recent years this method has rapidly become popular in recent years and it enables manufacturing of products with high strength and superior appearance by using simple molds.
