Smc is both a process and reinforced composite material.
Glass fiber sheet moulding.
Abs nylon acetal polycarbonate liquid crystal polymer lcp pbt pet pps and high performance resins like peek and pei.
Core molding technologies is a manufacturer of sheet molding compound and a molder of fiberglass reinforced plastics.
Compression molding uses sheet molding compound smc bulk molding compound bmc or carbon fiber in a thermoset process to produce greater a strength to weight ratio over steel and aluminum parts.
Sheet molding compound smc is a compression molding compound often used for larger parts where higher mechanical strength is needed.
Shorter glass fibers lessen the structure reinforcement which creates a putty like injection molding compound perfect for precision high performance applications.
This is manufactured by dispersing long strands of chopped fiber commonly glass fibers or carbon.
Alternatively the resin and related materials may be mixed on site when a producer wants greater control over the chemistry and filler.
Glass filled resins at protolabs include.
