Design Analysis of Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) of Fiber Composite Panels Final Report CRADA No. TC-333-92
- LLNL
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Boeing Defense and Space Group worked together to advance the understanding and aerospace application of the Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process. Future aircraft designs will require the use of lightweight fiber composites in primary structures. RTM is the prime manufacturing process to replace existing labor and cost-intensive procedures. RTM's unique processing capabilities are that it is not labor intensive and that it provides speed and near net shape forming to complex aircraft parts. The qualities could reduce the cost of tomorrow's airline programs by several million dollars each.
