resin transfer molding

Resin transfer molding (RTM) is a manufacturing process used to create composite materials. In RTM, dry fibers, usually carbon or fiberglass, are placed in a mold. A liquid resin is then injected into the mold, saturating the fibers. Once the resin cures, it hardens, forming a strong, lightweight part. This method is often used in aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods industries due to its ability to produce complex shapes with high strength-to-weight ratios. RTM is valued for its efficiency and capability to produce high-quality components with smooth finishes and minimal waste.
