If you're looking for a way to manufacture large, composite fiberglass parts, a PDCPD mold is a great option. Also known as Poly Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), the DCPD mold process uses a closed mold and two molding surfaces to create a complex part. This method is similar to Resin Transfer Molding and can be used for a number of car parts, wind turbines, and other industrial applications.
PDCPD molds are typically made of aluminium. Machined aluminum tools are used for flat parts, while cast aluminium tools are used for deeper 3D shapes. When designing PDCPD tooling, volumetric shrinkage must be taken into consideration. Because of this, gaskets are used around all of the cavities. The shrinkage occurs in the Z-axis, which causes the parts to change in thickness.
Although pDCPD molds are generally suited for a wide variety of applications, it is especially suited for parts that require large, ultra-thin areas. Examples of these applications are high-strength automobile fenders and bumpers, as well as high-strength engineering vehicle covers. Other applications include corrosion-resistant pipe parts, cargo pallets, high-strength yachts, and military grade boxes.
One advantage of using a DCPD mold is the ability to create more complex parts than metal. It's cost-effective and can create parts with a high-glossy surface that's easy to paint and has excellent adhesion. The DCPD mold is also good for prototyping and low-volume production.
Another benefit of pDCPD is its aesthetic qualities. It can be easily molded into a light tower, and is also lightweight and impact-resistant. Osborne Industries Inc. is a leading company for pDCPD molding, and has also developed a mold for an enclosure that uses this material.
Custom moulds are ideal for businesses that want to produce products that are unique to them. Not only do they allow for fewer mistakes and better quality control, but they also save time and money. This means that you can produce more products faster, which increases revenue for your business. And, with a custom mould, your product is sure to look unique, which is an excellent benefit.
