About 50 billion plastic screw caps are made annually, and demand is rising all the time. In the game between the two rival production processes, neither holds all the aces. When it comes to choosing ...

AZoM talks to DeWayne Howell and Jason Gabriel (Technical Engineering TenCate/CCS Composites), about the process of compression molding for composites and what the benefits and applications of this ...

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) ...

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 ...

Today’s fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) processes use organic substrates composed of epoxy mold compound (EMC) created using a thermal compression process. EMC wafers are a cost-effective way to ...

Compression molded bulk carbon/epoxy molding compound costs significantly less than hand-layed sandwich construction because much of the latter’s touch labor is eliminated. The molding process enables ...
