Why SMC Mold/Mould are Getting Popular in Aircraft Manufacturing?

the advantages of using SMC molds to manufacture aircraft components

In recent years, the use of composite materials in commercial aviation aircraft has increased significantly and has become a pillar material in the aviation field. According to the forecast of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the demand for composite materials in the global air transport industry will increase to $600 billion in the next 20 years, accounting for more than 70% of the total demand.

Among them, SMC molds can manufacture complex and detailed parts with extremely high precision. In aircraft manufacturing, SMC molds are usually used to manufacture aircraft shells, bulkheads, interiors and other components.

SMC Molds’ Application in Aircraft Manufacturing

One of the advantages of using SMC molds to manufacture aircraft components is that it can produce lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant parts. These characteristics are very important for aircraft because they can reduce the weight of the aircraft and improve its performance, thereby reducing fuel consumption and reducing carbon emissions. It can also extend the time of staying in the air, thus enabling the aircraft to fly higher and faster or have better maneuverability. At the same time, the aircraft can also install more equipment to improve the overall performance of the aircraft. Reducing the quality of the structure can greatly reduce the use cost of the aircraft and achieve obvious economic benefits.

On the other hand, SMC products also have high processing performance and can be made into various complex shapes and sizes, which can help designers realize their creativity and imagination.
