Overview
Infusion represents a class of closed mold manufacturing processes whereby dry fabric — carbon, glass, aramid or natural — is placed in a mold and infused with a liquid resin under heat and vacuum to distribute the resin throughout all fabric layers.
Cutting Infusion Time And Cost
When open molders turn to infusion, careful planning, material selection and training precede process efficiency.
