Benefits of Composite Mould over Metal or Steel Moulds
Composite moulds offer a range of benefits over metal or steel moulds. First, composite materials are lightweight and can be easily moved and manipulated, making them ideal for applications where weight is an issue. Additionally, composite moulds are often much more durable than their metal counterparts, meaning they can better stand up to wear and tear from repeated use. Furthermore, composite moulds require less maintenance over time than metal or steel, as they do not corrode or rust like metals do and can typically last longer. Composite moulds also offer superior heat resistance compared to metal or steel, which makes them ideal for high-temperature production processes. Lastly, the cost of composite moulding is often lower than that of metal or steel due to the lower material costs associated with it. All in all, composite moulding offers numerous advantages over its metallic counterparts that make it a great choice for many applications.
Swift Composites creates composite moulds and tools
Swift Composites creates composite moulds / tools for many industries, from precast concrete moulds to medical moulds. Each type of mould requires special considerations and composite manufacturing processes to achieve the required specifications. Composite moulds are designed to meet specific needs and requirements, such as strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. The composite material used in these moulds is usually a combination of fiberglass and resin, which is chosen to suit the particular application. Depending on the application, other materials such as carbon fiber or Kevlar may also be used.
When designing a composite mold, engineers take into account its intended purpose and environment. They consider factors such as the size of the product being manufactured, the type of material being used, the weight of the finished product, and any additional features that need to be incorporated into the design. To ensure that a durable and reliable mould is produced, designers must also factor in temperature variations during manufacturing processes as well as wear-and-tear over time. Once a design has been finalized, then the composite mould will be put into production and manufactured.
The manufacturing process for composite moulds can vary depending on the complexity of the design and materials being used. Generally speaking; however, it involves machining or cutting intricate shapes from raw sheets or blocks of composite material before bonding them together using either adhesive or specialized techniques such as welding or riveting. After the assembly has been completed and the finished products inspected for quality assurance purposes, they are ready for use in their respective applications.
If you require special reinforcement of the composite moulds or require metal mounts for lifting and moving the moulds by forklift or special lifting apparatuses, we have a supplier that can make the steelwork for us. Which allows us to give you a finished product ready to be used in production.
We also make and fabricate composite parts for several industries see our page on products we make or contact us to find out more.
