DESCRIPTION
MULTIPLAST uses the infusion process between mould and counter-mould (punch/die) to manufacture monolithic or foam sandwich composite structures for mass-produced parts.
This process consists of:
- Position the dry fibres (carbon or glass, etc.) as well as the inserts and core foams in the mould or on a marble slab.
- Close the counter-mould after positioning all the layers.
- Seal the joint between the mould and the counter-mould perfectly.
- Inject the resin under pressure on one side and under vacuum pressure on the opposite side in order to evenly impregnate all the reinforcement fabrics.
Main advantages of this process:
- Good fibre/resin ratio,
- Repeatable mechanical properties,
- Low porosity (0.5 to 1.5%),
- structural homogeneity,
- Excellent working environment thanks to the limitation of solvent and volatile organic compound emissions.
- Excellent repeatability of parts thanks to rigorous control of production parameters,
- High-quality surface finish on all sides, reducing the need for post-processing.
At MULTIPLAST, this process is used for the following parts:
- BENETEAU Figaro 3 foils,
- Stool for LVMH,
- Row 2 fuselage elements.
