Thanks for posting... And don't let the "expert RUclips commenters" get you down..
Thank you. As a pioneer in this field I have adopted an evangelical approach to showing others the way. I welcome constructive criticism always and you know sometimes they have a good point.
Thanks alot for very informative video. I'm also in the process to make one part by wet compression molding, please help me to advise all steps of process pls
Thank you for your interest. This is not a wet system so my process steps would not apply. It is for high volume production not one-off parts also.
@@bobdavies1277 Kindly guide me for drill bitts type for nice finish hole
@@dimpikumar78 Bro, buy their product and then ask for instructions. If you didn't find the video informative, or you aren't intending to buy a product, you're watching the wrong video. There are other composites tutorial videos on RUclips and instructables that will definitely answer your questions if you invest the time in looking for them.
Do you sell the material, or just the whole "system"?
At this point, I have decided to license the technology.
Sorry I am licensing the technology and will not be producing materials.
@@bobdavies1277 Who did you license it too?
@@DavidElzeitsinfill we are still working on that
Good video, well explained and looks like an interesting product. However, slitting a continuous fibre semifinished-product it in order to make it drapeable is not a "truly innovative approach" in my opinion. Basically by slitting the tows you risk part failure at the cut locations and probably lower impact strength overall.
I'm pretty sure you know the Tepex continuous fibre products and how they get thermoformed in 1 minute cycles to net-shape parts. They have great drapeability in the molten state of the thermoplastic matrix (mostly twill woven) and do not require to be slit prior to moulding.
You also state that you want to aim at high-volume markets, which require special composite thermoforming stations anyways. A batch process as you show in the end of the video is highly uneconomic in terms of mould heating and cooling cost.
I think you missed the point. This is a multiply ply layup of Fibrflex fabrics for the SMC method of molding. The slits are programmed to be in different places in each ply. This video is of the short flow SMC version used to make high fiber volume thin structural parts. The properties are not the same as continuous but the format gives the designer another tool in his tool bag. If you need continuous fiber use the unslit version (see my older video ruclips.net/video/ctwuZqfTgHc/видео.html) all of the fibrflex products can be made in high fiber volume fractions of 50-60% which is not possible in an organosheet without voids. Process times a function of tooling and process. The more you invest the faster it becomes, this is a cost-benefit decision the user must make.
@@fibrtecinc.5974 hi, thanks for the reply, that cleared things up. Unfortunately, your video link does not work
