VARTM
VACUUM ASSISTED RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING, OR VARTM, PROVIDES A SOLUTION FOR MORE INTRICATE PARTS.
VARTM molded composites are created where mechanical and dielectric strength are required in complex shapes and surfaces. Temperature ratings currently include 130°C and 155°C (Class B and F).
The Gund Company can produce various custom geometric shapes and sizes via the VARTM process. The composite resins and fabrics can also be altered to meet the application’s needs. Examples of this could include using different fabrics and reinforcing fibers such as an S-Glass, Carbon fiber, or Kevlar to create higher strength composites in complex shapes.
VARTM also provides fiber orientation contoured to the shape of the part. If a part is machined from a flat composite sheet, fibers are only oriented in the x-y plane, which can create weak spots in a 3-D contour.
