METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING COMPOSITE MATERIAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18229508 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING COMPOSITE MATERIAL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method of manufacturing a composite material through a wet compression molding (WCM) process. The process involves controlling the internal pressure of a mold to improve productivity and quality of the composite material.

  • The innovation involves using a robot to apply resin to the mold, automating the process and increasing productivity.
  • By controlling the internal pressure of the mold, deformation of the foam core is minimized, leading to improved quality of the composite material.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction for manufacturing composite materials with improved quality and productivity.

Problems Solved

1. Automation of the resin application process improves productivity. 2. Minimization of foam core deformation enhances the quality of the composite material.

Benefits

1. Increased productivity through process automation. 2. Improved quality of the composite material. 3. Control over foam core deformation leads to better structural integrity.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Internal Pressure in Wet Compression Molding Process for Composite Material Manufacturing

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to wet compression molding processes for manufacturing composite materials, but specific information is not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the control of internal pressure impact the overall cost of manufacturing composite materials?

The abstract does not mention the cost implications of controlling the internal pressure of the mold during the manufacturing process.

Are there any limitations to the use of robots in applying resin to the mold in terms of precision or efficiency?

The abstract does not address any potential limitations or challenges associated with using robots for resin application in the wet compression molding process.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of manufacturing a composite material through a wet compression molding (WCM) process is disclosed. The internal pressure of a mold is controlled so that productivity may be improved due to process automation through application of a resin using a robot. Quality of the composite material may be improved due to minimization of deformation of a foam core through control of the internal pressure of the mold.
