Composite material manufacturing – compression / press moulding

At RISE, we have long experience of working with press technology for composites and have the expertise and equipment to support you in the development of materials, components and production technology, from research to prototype manufacturing.

Through compression or press moulding, it is possible to apply high pressures to materials and get a good finish on both sides of the component. Likewise, the technologies enable good repeatability and high production rates, which provides cost and energy efficiency.

We start from process modeling and tool design and verify the results in our unique test and demo environment, where we also can manufacture prototypes or offer small-scale production, all based on your needs.

Whether you are active in the automotive, aerospace, defense or battery industries, we are here for you. We have experience working with many different material types and processes, including carbon fiber/epoxy prepreg, SMC and carbon fiber SMC, thermoplastic matrices, bio-based composites (both resin and fiber) and high-temperature injection systems, such as carbon fiber with BMI matrix.
