PRODUCTION METHODS

At CSC Composites, we utilize two primary manufacturing methods depending on the structural requirements, performance targets, and production volumes of each project.

These methods enable us to achieve optimal strength-to-weight ratios, high laminate quality, and consistent production standards.

VACUUM INFUSION

Vacuum infusion is a closed-mould process in which resin is drawn into dry reinforcement fabrics under vacuum. This method enables precise control of resin distribution while minimizing air entrapment.

The process results in a homogeneous laminate structure with a high fibre-to-resin ratio and improved repeatability.

Advantages
  • Consistent laminate quality
  • High fibre volume ratio
  • Reduced void content
  • Controlled and clean production process
Considerations
  • Requires experienced application and strict process control
  • Additional consumables are required during production
PREPREG & AUTOCLAVE

Prepreg materials consist of fibres pre-impregnated with a controlled amount of resin. These materials are stored under controlled low temperatures and require curing under elevated temperature and pressure.

Autoclave curing consolidates the laminate under pressure, resulting in superior structural performance and surface quality.

Advantages
  • Exceptional laminate quality and surface finish
  • High structural performance
  • Ability to produce complex and thick laminates
  • Precise control of resin content
Considerations
  • Requires temperature-controlled storage
  • Higher tooling and production costs
  • Requires specialized equipment and processes
