The Process
Forming process of LWRT components is quite simple and very flexible. It consists in the heat-up of the material followed by compression moulding inside a thermo-regulated tool. After the material cooling, the part can be de-moulded. Cutting and/or trimming inside the tool is also a common practice in order to reduce the required working steps on the part.
Final cycle time can reach values as low as 30” with a multiple station heating and a high speed forming press.
