First, according to the purpose and performance requirements of the carbon fiber mold, detailed design and planning are carried out. This includes determining the size, shape, material distribution and expected use environment of the mold. The design stage needs to fully consider the characteristics of carbon fiber materials, such as high strength, low density and excellent thermal stability.
Select materials suitable for making carbon fiber molds, usually including carbon fiber prepregs, resins, etc. At the same time, according to the complexity and size of the mold, prepare corresponding auxiliary materials, such as release agents, curing agents, etc.
Use appropriate process methods to manufacture molds, such as hot pressing molding, injection molding, etc. At this stage, the carbon fiber prepreg needs to be cut and stacked according to the design requirements, and resin is added for curing. At the same time, attention should be paid to the precision and surface quality of the mold to ensure that it meets the use requirements.
The stacked carbon fiber prepreg mold is sent to the hot pressing equipment for curing and molding. During the curing process, parameters such as temperature, pressure and time should be strictly controlled to ensure the strength and stability of the mold.
After the curing is completed, the demoulding operation is carried out to remove the mold. Then, the mold is trimmed and polished as necessary to remove excess materials and burrs and improve the surface quality of the mold.
The finished carbon fiber mold is quality inspected, including dimensional accuracy, surface quality, strength and other aspects. Ensure that the mold meets the design requirements and usage standards.
Finally, the carbon fiber mold is post-processed, such as painting, rust prevention, etc., to improve its service life and aesthetics. Then, the mold is delivered to the customer or assembled and debugged in the next step.
