Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) is the most established state-of-the-art technology in the production of structural composite parts with high lightweight potential. RTM processes comprise various techniques for the manufacturing of parts based on net-shape preforms.

High-Speed RTM with fast-curing thermoset resin systems such as epoxy and polyurethane with curing times of less than 120 seconds allow for high volume production.

High-Speed RTM is characterized by:

As AZL Partner Companies, we work closely together as a workgroup on projects supporting the further development of high-speed RTM technology and its material systems to achieve a broad transfer to serial production.

The AZL forms an international lightweight network of 9 institutes on the RWTH Aachen Campus and more than 80 companies from 21 countries involved in lightweight production. Learn more…
