Time to Get Technical...📢 Resin infusion is a sophisticated technique for manufacturing high-performance, void-free composites even on large or complicated molds. In this manufacturing process, reinforcement is laid into the mold ‘‘dry’’, i.e. without any resin, and then enclosed in a specially configured stack of bagging materials (such as peel-ply, infusion mesh, and bagging film) before being subjected to vacuum pressure using a vacuum pump. 🧐 Once all the air has been removed from the bag and the reinforcement has been fully compressed under this pressure, liquid resin (mixed with hardener) is introduced to the reinforcement through a pipe which then infuses through the reinforcement under the vacuum pressure. Once the resin has fully infused through the reinforcement, the supply of resin is cut off and the resin is left to cure, still under vacuum pressure. 😎 Ok, by now, we already know that resin infusions are truly amazing to watch... But what about zooming in a little bit more? This insightful video shows the resin flowing through the infusion mesh in detail! Very cool, right? 😮 Video credits: Michael Mangold #TheNativeLab #ManagingComposites #ResinInfusion #Techdetails

Being able to manufacture with carbon fiber is indeed an art, requiring precision and expertise. However, when it comes to industrial-scale production, where larger volumes and efficiency are key, "Sheet Molding Compound" (SMC) emerges as the ideal solution.💡 Why SMC is the right choice for industrial quantities? 🥽 High Volume Production 💰 Cost Efficiency 📐 Complex Designs 🚀 Automotive & Aerospace Ready Whether it's for electric vehicle parts, airplane interiors, or even advanced consumer products, SMC combines the benefits of carbon fiber with the scalability needed for industrial success! #TheNativeLab #Manufacturing #Composites #Methodology #SMC #ManagingComposites
