LFI – The lighter, less expensive alternative to FRP

Compared to Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic, Long Fiber Injection is lower in weight and cost and provides better impact resistance. Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is a composite material made of a polyester-based thermoset plastic that is reinforced with glass fiber to give it greater strength. This combination of polyester and fiber is known to have one

Understanding Plastic Fabrication Methods

Plastic fabrication is defined as any process which is used to design, manufacture, or assemble products made from plastic or composites containing plastic. There are an extremely wide variety of plastic fabrication methods available, each with their own unique advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, certain methods are better suited for certain parts – fabricating small plastic

Epoxy Resin: A Strong, Consistent Molding Material

You may have shied away from choosing epoxy resin as a molding material due to concerns about its high cost and reputation as a more niche, less well-rounded polymer when compared to polyurethane, polyester or vinyl ester. However, in truth, epoxy resin possesses a number of benefits, including but not limited to high strength, excellent
