SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) & DMC (Dough Moulding Compound)
SMC is a composite material made from a mixture of resin, reinforcement (e.g., fiberglass), and fillers. The SMC is pre-formed into a sheet, which is then molded into the desired shape using heat and pressure. This process is ideal for high-volume production of complex parts with tight tolerances. SMC offers excellent durability, impact resistance, and surface finish..
DMC is a composite material similar to SMC but has a more flexible, dough-like consistency. This allows for easier moulding and shaping, making it suitable for complex geometries and smaller production runs. DMC is often used for electrical and automotive applications, offering good electrical insulation, heat resistance, and mechanical properties.
