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 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 ...

Once upon a time, glass-mat thermoplastic (GMT) composites were nearly the only option for engineers searching for increased stiffness, strength, and toughness in a polymeric material with a ...

Automotive accounts for 60 percent of bulk molding compound and sheet molding compound consumption and 27 percent of all compression molding output. ``There's a lot of competition for these exterior ...

Chopped prepreg molding compound (CPMC), a relatively new material form resembling molding compounds made from chopped resin impregnated tow, provides design and processing engineers various benefits ...

System-in-Package (SiP) technology has been used for a wide range of electronic devices, but the warpage behavior of the package can be difficult to control and predict due to complex manufacturing ...

Tokyo — Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. has long reserved costly carbon-fiber-reinforced components to such applications as the hood and roof of its low-volume, high-performance GT-R sports car. But thanks to a ...
