Limited
- Large Part Sizes- In Mold Painting- Lightweight- High Stiffness- Material Optimizationfor Weight &Mechanical Properties
- Less Fiber Loading InDeep Draws
- Large Part Sizes- Lightweight- High Matl Toughness- Low Mold Cost- High ImpactResistance
- Engineered Resin Cost
- Large Part Sizes- In Mold Painting- Can mold solids,foams, elastomers, andcomposites
- Resin Cost is GreaterThan Thermoplastic
- Variety of SpecialtyResins- High Heat Resistance- High ProductionVolume
- Expensive Tooling- Less Fiber Loading inDeep Draws- Secondary ProcessesRequired for Good Surface Appearance
- Large Part Sizes- Can Vary MaterialProperties Greatly- Low Tooling Costs
- Annual tooling costsfor multi-yearprograms- Slow cycle times
- Low Cost Tooling- Very Large Parts Canbe Produced- Wide Range of PartProperties
- No B-side geometrysuch as bosses or ribs- Large part tolerances
- Very Fast Cycle Times- Lightweight resin- Very Good Part Detail- In Mold Color, NoPainting Required
- Expensive toolingcosts- Can't mold large parts
- Low Cost Tooling- Very Large Parts Canbe Produced- In Mold Color, NoPainting Required
- No B-side geometrysuch as bosses or ribs- Large part tolerances
