Compression Molding

Compression Molding Capabilities

Compression molding of composites accommodates a wide variety of resin and reinforcement combinations.  The process yields net shape components, and can easily allow for varying cross sections, complex geometries, and an array of “molded in” features such as metal inserts, ribs, and bosses.

Our compression molding work cells are purpose-built, automated, and integrated with capabilities specific to composite processing. Precision controls continuously monitor and ensure exact temperature, pressure, and dwell curves. Our smart presses are integrated with purpose-built production tooling, allowing the mold to interface with the press and ensuring time, temperature, and pressure profiles that exactly match process specifications, resulting in high output of compliant products.
