Rtm light is one of the many liquid composite moulding lcm closed mould composites manufacturing processes.
Light rtm manufacturing.
Light rtm lrtm is a vacuum assisted closed molding process capable of high quality two sided finishes molded at low to moderate production volumes.
Its distinctive feature is that at least one side of the mould is made of a fairly flexible material e g.
It consist of inserting resin between two tightly fitting moulds with small pressure.
The closed mold consists of an a side mold base mold and a semi rigid b side mold counter mold that is sealed to the a side mold using vacuum pressure.
Light resin transfer molding or light rtm is a process by which composite products are manufactured using a closed mold system.

L rtm light resin transfer molding is one of the molding methods.
Like other closed molding composites processes light resin transfer molding lrtm offers reduced waste and emissions efficient materials use and a consistent and repeatable process.
Light rtm is an excellent process for manufacturing parts that require both inside and outside finished surfaces.
Light rtm also produces finished surfaces on both sides of the part reduces labor costs enhances dimensional stability and improves process control.
Light rtm is a versatile manufacturing process that can increase productivity with mold cycles as fast as twenty minutes using several base molds and a single counter mold.
This method has rapidly become popular in recent years this method has rapidly become popular in recent years and it enables manufacturing of products with high strength and superior appearance by using simple molds.
Lrtm light resin transfer moulding is one of the technologies of creating compound products.
Additionally the whole process is supported by vacuum pressure.
But lrtm requires less costly tooling and can still provide excellent cosmetics on both sides of a part in an efficient manufacturing process.
