The hybrid-composite rear load floor uses unidirectional (UD) thermoplastic tapes plus direct-long-fiber thermoplastic (D-LFT) composites. Thermoplastic tapes provided high stiffness/strength in a ...

At the upcoming Fakuma show in Germany, Netstal will present what company officials are calling a world's first: injection-compression molding on stack molds. Fakuma is set for Oct. 13-17 in ...

Recycling plastic at home using 3D printed molds is relatively accessible these days, but if you do not wish to invest a lot of money into specialized equipment, what’s the most minimal ...

Sacmi Imola S.C.'s Closures and Containers Division will demonstrate its compression blow forming (CBF) technology at NPE2018 in Booth W363. CBF combines elements of compression molding and blow ...

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 ...

Injection overmolding of unidirectional fibers and preforms is an attractive process for many good reasons. It’s fast, consistent and repeatable, and it can be performed with a machine that is ...

In this study, experiments and mold flow simulation results are presented for a void-free wafer level molded underfill (WLMUF) process with High-Density Fan-Out (HDFO) test vehicles using a ...

The conversation around 3D printing and traditional manufacturing methods like injection molding or thermoforming is often oppositional, but it’s not always a question of one versus the other. In ...

The new composites are designed as alternatives to thermoset sheet molding compounds (SMCs). Offering similar mechanical performance, they are much more ductile and, as thermoplastic systems, much ...

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 ...
