Reviving the Relevance of Compression Moulding

i4.0 today

The cornerstone of advanced composite manufacturing, in its 1920s Bakelite heyday compression moulding was the key process for shaping thermoset materials. This is mainly attributed to these industries using more advanced composite materials. Parts can also be more sustainable as bio-based materials are increasingly being used.
