Congrats Toray. I’m wondered, doesn’t the positive mold drag the fibers downwards when it is positioned on top of the other mold?? The prepreg that sits on the perimeter walls, doesn’t it get out of position or damaged when the top mold is inserted???
Thank you for your question! Yes, thermal expansion needs to be considered in the design of the tool. Therefore the tool will be machined at room temperature to dimensions slightly less than what is being achieved at cure temperature, this in turn affects the required part dimensions at design temperature.

Due to the design of the tool in this instance, this mold is programmed "closed to stops", i.e. the closing pressure on the mold. If you would like any further information please contact us at explore@toraytac-europe.com

Yes Lunar we should Toray E732 SNap Cure Epoxy Prepreg XD

I was wondering the same.
The draft designed into the mold means that its not dragging, only compressing.
Do you need to put any release agent into aluminium and if you do - do you need to reapply it after every item or just once.
Wow 🥰
Hi Toray! Very nice video!
I have a question ... The tooling does not need to be pre heated for processing this prepreg?
Do you compensate the thermal expansion of the aluminium mould in the design phase to have a good final carbon fiber part?
Thank you for your question! Yes, thermal expansion needs to be considered in the design of the tool.

I want too buy prepreg ????
We are very pleased to hear this. Please reach out to or depending on where you are located.
Excuse me, where can I buy this
Thank you for your inquiry! Please email your contact and location details to explore@toraytac-usa.com and we can provide more details.
What owen do you use, where can I by it?
Thank you for your question. What do you mean by "owen"? Do you mean resin?
@@torayadvancedcomposites6907 sorry, mistake "oven" I mean for curing.

What is the mold pressure
Due to the design of the tool in this instance, this mold is programmed "closed to stops", i.e. the closing pressure on the mold. If you would like any further information please contact us at explore@toraytac-europe.com
