MOLD FABRICATION
-
Production molds are constructed using hand-laid chop strand mat and high epoxy content vinyl ester resin. Built with the durability necessary to withstand high peak-exotherm temperatures typically created by closed molding lamination which would cause post-curing induces defects in an inferior mold
-
Never filled polyester resin or cored laminates.
-
Return flanges are a ProtoTech standard feature that reinforces the tooling flange and influence a higher level of care by technicians who are trained to respect tooling gel surfaces
-
Frames are pre-engineered, reviewed with client, and pre-built as much as feasible to reduce build time
-
Talented craftsmen and craftswomen bring molds to a high-gloss finish free of defects
-
Engineering supports the integration of scribes, embedded locating magnets, RFID’s, silicone vacuum bag recesses, multi-part mold seals, and LRTM gaskets
