Compression molded “smoke pan” designed for conversion from 2-D to 3-D form. Hat angle and plateau optimized to prevent part from shrinking against mold surfaces. Angle changes optimized with radii to ...

When engineers at General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products (GDATP) recently designed the ammunition container for a new aircraft weapon system, they decided very early in the process to make ...

Predominantly, if the metal part used in compression molding is tension or compression loaded, a ratio of metal part thickness to its extensional modulus, multiplied by the Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) ...

Compression molding involves forming of complex shaped components by molding of a charge of fiber reinforced prepreg bulk molding compound (BMC) under heat and high pressures. Unidirectional fiber ...

New molding process combines three techniques to create large thick-walled parts from high-performance thermoplastic ...
