At Retech, our expertise in composite materials sets the standard for innovation and engineering excellence. Renowned for their exceptional strength, adaptability and light weight, composites play a vital role in pushing the boundaries of technology and design across a wide range of industries including automotive, marine and construction.
Our advanced composite manufacturing capabilities enable us to deliver bespoke, high performance solutions that are precisely tailored to our customers’ specific requirements.
Using a variety of state-of-the-art techniques such as hand lay-up, resin transfer moulding (RTM), vacuum infusion and the use of specialist materials such as carbon fibre and fibreglass, we ensure the delivery of unparalleled composite products.
These methods, each with its own set of benefits, are briefly mentioned here and elaborated on in the following sections, demonstrating our comprehensive approach to composite manufacturing and our commitment to excellence.
Hand Lay-up
The Hand Lay-up method is the most fundamental technique in composite fabrication. This labor-intensive process involves manually placing layers of reinforcement material, such as fiberglass, into a mold and applying resin to create durable and versatile composite structures.
Ideal for custom or low-volume production, this method provides exceptional control over the laminate and is adaptable to complex shapes.
RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding)
RTM is a sophisticated composite manufacturing process that offers precision and efficiency. By injecting resin under pressure into a closed mold where the reinforcement material has been placed, RTM ensures uniform distribution of resin, resulting in high-quality, consistent products with superior mechanical properties.
This method is particularly suited for medium to high-volume production with intricate geometries.
Vacuum Infusion
Vacuum infusion is an advanced technique that uses vacuum pressure to drive resin into a dry fiber layup within a sealed mold. This process allows for a more controlled resin-to-fiber ratio, enhancing the structural integrity and reducing the weight of the final product.
Vacuum infusion is ideal for creating large, complex structures with excellent strength-to-weight ratios.
Carbon Fiber
Carbon fiber composites offer unparalleled strength and stiffness while remaining exceptionally lightweight. At Retech, we specialize in manipulating carbon fiber materials to produce cutting-edge composite solutions.
Our carbon fiber composites are designed for applications where performance and durability are critical, delivering superior results in even the most demanding environments.
At Retech, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of composite technology to meet the evolving needs of our clients.
Through our comprehensive range of composite manufacturing methods, we deliver innovative solutions that set new standards in quality and performance.
