Seriously I never heard a mould that can be use as an elevated temperature curing. This technology can reach elevated ramp temperature of 2 deg F! That's pretty cool stuff for non-aerospace technology. Seems like autoclave future need to be revise!
Description :
TCM Composites, a division of Kenway Corporation, was created to provide manufacturing process and technology services that will support companies adopting Arkemas remarkable IS300 product. Through our collaboration on the R&D program, what we discovered is that without the advantage of Temperature Controlled Molding (TCM) the ability to both heat and cool the molds that the IS300 product is not effective. But by incorporating the TCM process with IS300 nanotechnology, then composites manufacturing is revolutionized. Improved flow characteristics, the ability to cure-on-demand, enhanced physicals properties, consistent and faster production times, laminates exceeding 6 thickness. All this is possible when IS300 nanotechnology is combined with the TCM process.
Partnered exclusively with industry expert Andre Cocquyt, the TCM Composites team will provide the following solutions to companies:
•Manufacturing of Temperature Controlled Molds & Tools (from lab tables, to large production tables, to complex shapes for the Wind Industry and beyond)
•Consulting services on how to incorporate the TCM process into the manufacturing environment
•Employee training (in collaboration with SMCC)
The TCM process is based on 10-years of research and development conducted by Andre Cocquyt (ACSM, Inc.). The concept is simple: Use an efficient BTU transfer media to both heat and cool your molds, thereby eliminating ambient conditions from the composite manufacturing equation. The execution of this simple concept and avoiding the need to repeat 10-years of learned lessons is where TCM Composites adds value to our customers.
great information thanks for article and video. I am studying the uses of composite moulding as part of college course at the moment and found it really helpful! Thanks
ReplyDeleteSalam alaik Abang Awaneer,
ReplyDeletesaya graduan Miat, berkelulusan degree dalam aircraft engineering technology in mechanical. Dan berminat dalam bidang composite.Saya punya Final Year projek pon berkenaan dengan composite. soalan saya bagaimana saya nk menapakkan diri saya dalam dunia composite sedangkan diri ini yang kekurangan ilmu composite
terima Kasih abang Awaneer
untuk pengetahuan abang Awaneer, saya telah hadiri temuduga di CTRM, tetapi malangnya gagal. dan kini saya bercadang untukmenyambung master dalam bidang komposit. tetapi tidak tahu Universiti mana yang baik dan murah (itu penting) hehe apa pandangan abang?
