· The controlled delivery of resin directly into the fibre under a vacuum bag without any intermediate containers.
· Control of resin mixing ratio, flow rate, and mould inlet pressure.
· Use of sensors (IMPS) to accurately measure and control In-Mould Pressure
What is Direct-Infusion
· Reduced H&S risks (no open container of resin or manual contact necessary)
· Reduced risk of bulk exotherm
· Materials can be degassed prior to infusion
· Accurate pressure control
· Reduced wastage
· Improved laminate quality
· Control and monitoring for QA
· Repeatability
