The main component of this facility is a vacuum press equipped with an elastomeric silicone membrane and a worktable for forming thermoplastic and thermosetting composite parts with surface dimensions of up to 310 × 130 cm.
The equipment enables the development and evaluation of the formability of fiber-reinforced preforms made from materials such as glass, carbon, aramid, and basalt. It can be used to manufacture monolithic composite parts and sandwich structures, as well as to apply decorative and functional finishes to molded component surfaces through sublimation.
The facility comprises a vacuum system, a sublimation oven, a convection heating unit, and a monitoring system for controlling pressure, temperature, and molding time.
