Compression Molds (SMC)
VDAC’s SMC compression molding service offers a smart solution for producing tough, lightweight components with precision—perfect for demanding shapes, large volumes, and long-term durability across key industries.
Compression Molding
Compression molding using Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) is a highly efficient process for manufacturing robust, lightweight composite components. This technique involves placing pre-prepared SMC material—comprising glass fiber reinforcement, polyester resin, fillers, and performance-enhancing additives—into a heated mold cavity. Once positioned, the material is compressed under high pressure, allowing it to flow and conform precisely to the shape of the mold. This process ensures excellent surface quality, structural integrity, and consistent thickness, making it well-suited for complex geometries and demanding applications.
Why VDAC?
At VDAC, we specialize in providing advanced SMC compression molding services tailored to a range of industries, including automotive, electrical, and industrial equipment. Our facility is equipped with high-tonnage presses and precision-engineered molds, enabling us to produce components with high strength-to-weight ratios, dimensional accuracy, and repeatability.
With a deep understanding of composite material behavior and mold design, our team supports projects from concept through production, including material selection, mold development, prototyping, and full-scale manufacturing.
More to Know
Utilizing compression molds with SMC offers significant benefits over traditional metal or plastic forming methods. The resulting parts are corrosion-resistant, dimensionally stable, and able to withstand extreme environmental conditions, making them ideal for exterior automotive panels, electrical enclosures, and load-bearing structures.
The process also supports high-volume production with minimal waste, contributing to both cost-efficiency and sustainability. VDAC’s commitment to innovation and quality ensures that our clients receive optimized, performance-driven solutions that meet both functional and aesthetic requirements.
