SMC molding, an acronym standing for Sheet Molding Compound, is a revolutionary technique in the field of thermosetting composites. It involves the use of a specialized material composed of reinforced fibers, unsaturated polyester resin, and various additives, which are combined to create a highly durable and versatile molding compound. The process of SMC molding offers numerous advantages, making it a preferred choice for various industrial applications.

    The journey of SMC molding began in the early 1960s in Europe, and since then, it has evolved significantly to become a key manufacturing process. The core principle of SMC molding lies in the precision and control achieved during the molding process. The SMC material is carefully prepared and then placed in a heated mold, where it is compressed and shaped into the desired form. This process ensures that the finished product exhibits excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and surface finish.
