Manufacturing processes
Our technology
INJECTION
In one operation, material is heated and then introduced under pressure into a closed mould. Gas injection, bi-injection, IML, insert over-moulding, silicone and large parts etc.
COMPRESSION FORMING
An evolving technique which allows production of appearance and semi-structural pieces by compressing the material between two moulds.
VACUUM FORMING
A second transformation technique which involves heating and vacuum-sucking material to produce the shape of the metal mould.
INDUSTRIAL UPHOLSTERY
It includes a set of operations (development, manufacture, assembly etc), working with flexible materials such as leather and fabric.
WOOD CUTTING
CNC machine allows to cut wood panel used in upholstery process.
HAND LAY-UP
HAND LAY-UP : Fully manual process which consists of arranging the layers of reinforcing material and resin successively, following by removal of any air.
COMPOSITES > RTM
RTM / “Resin Transfer Moulding”: Low-pressure injection of liquid resin into a mould. Production of reproducible, high quality parts in large series.
COMPOSITES > SMC
SMC / “Sheet Moulding Compound”: Semi-finished product (resin, mineral fillers and fibreglass reinforcement) compressed at high pressure. Can resist temperatures from -30°C to 200°C.
COMPOSITES > INFUSION
INFUSION : Fibre impregnation process by vacuum. A "vacuum tarp" is placed on the mould to evacuate the air and force the resin into a dry fabric stack.
