Composite manufacturing is the process of producing composite materials by combining reinforcing fibers with a polymer resin matrix. These materials are engineered to provide high strength, durability and lightweight performance in industrial applications.

Modern composite manufacturing involves a range of technologies depending on the required part geometry, production volume and performance characteristics.

• Resin Transfer Molding (RTM)
• Vacuum Infusion
• Hand Lay-up
• Compression Molding
• Pultrusion

The composite manufacturing process typically involves several key steps that ensure the quality and performance of the final product.

• Preparation of mold and tooling
• Placement of reinforcing fibers
• Resin application or injection
• Curing process
• Demolding and finishing

Selecting the appropriate composite manufacturing process depends on several factors including part complexity, production volume, cost and required surface quality.

Processes such as RTM are ideal for serial production, while vacuum infusion is better suited for large and complex structures.
