Preforming for Liquid Composite Molding

The process of Liquid Composite Moulding (LCM) to produce structural composites has gained considerable attention over recent years. One barrier to gaining further acceptance is the lack of knowledge and process expertise in preform reinforcement production. If the LCM process is to gain acceptance in the moulding industry and retain its advantage of low cost, equally low-cost methods of preform production must be coupled with the moulding
