Automotive parts moulding is one of the most important techniques, which
is used to make auto parts moulds. However, to come up with the finest range of
moulds, it is not just enough to use injection moulding techniques. The method
that is commonly used for auto parts is known as compression moulding.

Compression Moulding – What is it?
Compression moulding is basically a manufacturing process, which
utilizes composite raw materials for producing a finished product or component
by applying moulding press. There are varied processing techniques used for
manufacturing composite components as well as composite moulding techniques
using heat and applying pressure to manufacture robust and repeatable parts.
This process involves lower cycle times while it yields greater volume. Hence,
cost is also reduced.
Compression moulding technique is primarily used for automotive parts moulding.
At HQMould,
this method is widely used to come up with some of the finest auto parts that
can be used for years.
Raw Materials Needed
For compression moulding, the raw material needed is sheet moulding
compound or SMC. It comprises of chopped glass fibre reinforcing strands,
pigments, fillers, resin and additives in matte form.
Products Created with Compression Moulding
Compression
moulding is used to create products that need certain specific characteristics,
such as unique design and features, lower unit cost, tailored specification,
lightweight etc. It is excellent for auto parts, forklift truck panels, engine
covers, vending machine doors and other enclosures. Overall, compression
moulding is the ideal procedure to create automotive parts moulding, which last
long and give adequate protection.
