bmc molding process

The Slotatal Plant uses BMC molding for a variety of products, such as auto parts and even housings for electronic devices. BMC is an abbreviation for Bulk Molding Compound. It is interesting material as it consists of very fine fibers, which are bonded together by resin. That fabric can be created with super thin fibers of glass or carbon. These are made from different kinds that have their own property of being strong, and they help strengthen the final box while keeping it durable.

The way we make things with BMC molding is to take fibers and resin, mix them together in sometimes complex configurations. This is vital to the final product, so make sure you get it right. Then mix them for the appropriate amount of time and we put it in a mold. A mold is kinda a giant cookie cutter that takes the BMC and turns it into whatever we wish. The next phase is to heat the BMC by bringing it into contact with a mold and pressuring. The mixture hardens and solidifies upon heating, pressing it. Finally, once your BMC has fully cooled down and set — we can then extract the product from our mold giving us a usable part!

Tips and Tricks

There are various ways in which you can use BMC molding and they have so many uses as well. For instance, it is helpful in creating key car elements such as bumpers, dashboards and door handles. The parts have to be durable and tough as they are used daily. It is also utilized in the manufacture of electronic cases that make our smartphones and computers secure from damage. BMC molds can also be used to create non-automotive products including shower trays and toilet seats. You can see how useful BMC moulding comes in here!

Some useful guides are available for us to follow and implement this process successfully over the BMC molding. A key ingredient for proper mixing of the fibers and resin. Also, the BMC can be not as you expected if it is too dry or wet. This may include ensuring that the mold has been heated to an appropriate temperature, and also confirming that it is under adequate pressure. If, for whatever reason (maybe the mold is too hot or cold) you machine something wrong in your press — say we didn't squeeze hard enough one location — it will come out looking odd. You might be surprised at how much of a difference these little things can have on the overall quality of your finished piece.
