Lost Core Resin Transfer Molding (LCRTM)
- A Fiber Dynamics proprietary process for manufacturing complex, high fiber volume composite geometries with hollow interior cavities
- Intricate assemblies (including metal details and inserts) molded in a single operation — no secondary bonding or fastening
- Superior control of wall thickness in critical thin-wall applications (down to a few thousands of an inch wall thickness)
- Sinecore (tm) Sandwich Structures (pat.pend.) for the replacement of honeycomb and foam cored composite structures.
Conventional Matched-Die Resin Transfer Molding (RTM)
- For complex, lightweight cored and solid laminate structures
- Economical, high volume production
- Excellent surface finish and structural properties
- With proprietary flame-retardant technology for interior components
Design, Tooling, and Manufacturing Facilities
- Design & modeling services
- CNC machined metal and "soft" tooling fabrication
- Prototyping through production
- Complete layup, molding and finishing facilities
- Proprietary meter/mix/injection equipment
- 5 axis CNC routing and digitizing

Vacuum-Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM)
- For autoclave-quality parts at a fraction of the cost
- Outstanding surface finishes — minimal finishing required for paint preparation
- Incorporation of integral stiffeners and foam cores for applications demanding extra stiffness with very little weight
Compression / Transfer Molding
- For economical, high-rate production of structural & non-structural moldings
Prepreg Layup
- Conventional vacuum bagged and oven or press cured components
Material Systems
- Carbon, glass, aramid, PBO, quartz - virtually any fiber type that can be readily formed
- Super-tough, highly reactive epoxy systems for the rapid production of impact resistant products
- Phenolic, BMI, epoxy, cyanate ester and practically any other thermosetting matrix materials
- Co-molded intumescing surfacing veils for enhanced fire retardancy
- Proprietary fire retardant epoxy systems
