We are a production RIM molding supplier. Your request sounds like something a prototype house might tackle. We only run production, volume tooling at our facility. You might consider someone like solid Concepts in Troy, MI. Good luck with your project.
@QuadConversions Yes, the material system is called Bayflex. It comes in a number of different systems. We currently mold Bayflex 110-40 and XGT 140. Our bumpers are made of the 100-50. Our lowest production run is about 150 parts. Call us if you need help in that area. Good luck!
Not sure. It just played fine for me. I don't think you can "download" the video's from You Tube. If you continue to have trouble viewing video's from TH-cam, especially this one on RIM, let me know and I can forward a copy to you via postal mail perhaps. The files are too large for regular e-mail transmission.
@indra35 Yes, you could make body panels using this technology. You would need an aluminum tool in most cases. The cost of such will vary on the size of the panel, it's geometry and average wall section. You will also need a very large carrier system for the tool and a big enough wet system. Contact us for more information.
@mypur Hello, We make PU car bumpers too... on a much smaller scale than you but of our own unique design. Would you tell me who's PU you use for bumpers...? It's just that we know of only one PU that has got a TUV approval for such parts and the German manufacturer that made it has discontinued it as they say there was not enough interest in it !!!! I would understand if you declined to tell me but a responce as a fellow PU injector would be much appretiated.
@abcplastics Generally we look for a 3mm wall section. This can reduced to 1-2 mm in localized areas pending the geometry and function of that feature. Cycle time is anywhere between a 2 and 10 minutes depending on the type of part being made, the geometry/size and the wall section. This is a thermoset process that requires cure. Call me for more reaction injection molding (RIM) with polyurethanes information at 248-628-2930. Thanks.

We make large automotive bumpers using this technology and material system.

how thin of a wall can you mold
and what tolarance can you hold on the thin wall?
what is the cycle time???

Is the Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) the same thing called "Integral Polyurethane"

RIM and PUR are the same systems ???

get rid of that music
