Hand Lay-up FRP

Short-run Production

Hand Lay-up FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) is a well established technology. Accurate tough parts are fabricated by applying successive layers of resin (epoxy or polyester) and composite sheet material. Solid Concepts offers the only UL 94 V-0 epoxy material developed for the medical industry and suitable for large, fire retardant, cosmetic panel construction. Precise attachment of all B-side hardware is the key to assembly success. This is accomplished with years of experience in fixtures and tooling.

FRP Advantages

  • Mold life about 50 to 150 parts
  • Faster to market versus RTM
  • Mold can be modified for certain changes
  • Very strong and accurate

FRP Disadvantages

  • Labor cost is higher
  • Production rate: 1 per day
Production
As Fast As		 5 DAYS
Instant Quoting and Build System
  • SolidView
    SolidView® software allows you to view, rotate, measure and communicate design intent with non-CAD users—starting with our free 3D CAD viewer—SolidView/Lite.
  • Prototypes
    PolyJet™ & SLA® provide accurate concept models and master patterns in record time. Complete in-house finishing capability for production-like prototypes.
  • SLS & DMLS
    SLS® produces rugged Nylon 11 and Nylon 12 prototype and production parts. DMLS utilizes metal and alloy materials to create strong metal parts without tooling.
  • FDM
    FDM (fused deposition modeling) produces both prototype and production parts from ABS plastic, polycarbonate, and Ultem materials.
  • CNC
    CNC prototypes, parts and master patterns are ideal in applications where the material property or size requirements make other prototyping techniques unsuitable.
  • Cast Urethane
    Cast Urethane (a proprietary advanced casting technology and advanced formula polymers) produce strong pre-production and short-run production components.
  • Composites
    Composites (fiber reinforced plastic) technology produces large, rigid, accurate panels with excellent strength-to-weight ratio and surface finish.
  • Tooling
    Tooling from Solid Concepts provides quick-turn tooling options for Chinese tooling & production, export tooling from China, and domestic tooling, all with domestic project management.
  • Molding
    Molding from Solid Concepts brings you the best of both worlds by providing Chinese pricing and lead times along with Solid Concepts quality and domestic project management.
