MDC Mould has rich experience in the manufacture of SMC molds and undertakes various projects. Lamborghini mentioned earlier and McLaren mentioned in this article, MDC Mould are involved.
In the last issue, the editor introduced the application of SMC moulds on Lamborghini, and in this issue, we invite our “grand guest” – McLaren.
McLaren is also one of the top supercar brands in the world. Its well-dressed appearance hides a violent heart. The gorgeous appearance and its uniqueness always make many people fascinated by it. I don’t know much about the car research, but when I saw it for the first time, I was attracted by its two doors. The scissor-like shape is light and stylish. I can’t help but wonder what kind of material makes it light. Free and easy?
Later I realized that this is the credit of the SMC mould. We have mentioned the characteristics of the SMC mould many times before. It is relatively light in weight, heat-insulating and corrosion-resistant, light in weight and high in strength. In addition, it has a large degree of freedom in product design. Therefore, it is regarded as a favored material in the automotive industry, and SMC molds are also widely used.
At this point, readers should also be able to understand that the McLaren mentioned above actually uses the SMC mould properly to bring a different experience to our customers.
MDC Mould has rich experience in the manufacture of SMC molds and undertakes various projects. Lamborghini mentioned earlier and McLaren mentioned in this article, MDC Mould are involved, with a wide range of businesses and far-reaching scope. Welcome to contact us.
The body shell of Lanborghini uses SMC molds to meet its required strength and rigidity, and the cool sound of the sports car also benefits from this.
For all of us, Lamborghini is one of the top sports car brands in the world. So why did I mention it today?
Lamborghini, the lines are rigid and stylish, and each model is exquisitely crafted. The character, history and temperament of the car model can be perfectly reflected in the appearance. What impresses us the most is the “swish” sound that it “speeds” past in front of us, which is different from the sound of other ordinary cars, giving people a full sense of luxury!
So the question is, what is the uniqueness of Lamborghini? Here, the editor has to mention SMC mould.
SMC mould is one of the types of molds for thermocompression molding process. SMC mold requires a heating system for the mold cavity and core, and the temperature difference is kept at about 5 degrees Celsius. After the process parameters are set, put the sheet mold material in the mold, close the mold, and use the set temperature and pressure to melt the raw material into the mold cavity for molding.
SMC has the advantages of light weight, high strength, and no rust. It is an excellent material for manufacturing products, so SMC molds are widely used in the automotive industry.
As for the Lamborghini we mentioned earlier, its body shell uses SMC molds to meet its required strength and rigidity, and the cool sound of the sports car we mentioned also benefits from this.
As a SMC mould supplier, MDC Mold has many years of research in the design of SMC mould and SMC mold technology, and has a supporting mold trial line for SMC mould to ensure that SMC mold is from the original design. To follow-up mass production to meet customer needs.
SMC material is a dry sheet prepreg composed of resin, low-shrinkage additives, fillers, curing agents, thickeners, release agents and reinforcing fibers.
In this issue, I would like to share with you a lighthearted little story.
Xiao Li’s house is being renovated recently, and most of the structural materials have been determined, but he is very troubled about the bathroom.
His needs are quite simple: it can meet the basic requirements of bathing, washing clothes, and washing. It is environmentally friendly and clean, and the cost is not too high. It is best to use it for a long time.
But after looking at it for several days, he didn’t see anything satisfactory.
On this day, the decorator was about to start construction in the bathroom, so he asked, “Xiao Li, what material do we use for this bathroom?”
Xiao Li showed melancholy, and said: “Ah, Master Liu, I have been looking at it for several days, but I haven’t found a suitable material for the bathroom. There are too many materials on the market, such as artificial stone, resin glass, stainless steel, natural stone, etc. Solid wood, acrylic, etc., I’m almost confused!”
Master Liu smiled, and then replied: “You should have said it earlier! I have recently renovated several houses, and now it is popular to use SMC materials for the overall decoration of bathrooms in the market!”
Xiao Li was very curious: “What is SMC material?”
“SMC material is a dry sheet prepreg composed of resin, low-shrinkage additives, fillers, curing agents, thickeners, release agents and reinforcing fibers.” Master Liu replied, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand this material. , you just need to know the benefits of using it as a bathroom!”
So Xiao Li asked: “What are the benefits of using SMC materials for bathroom?”
Master Liu talked eloquently: “The SMC material is light in weight, and the weight of the parts is reduced when the strength is satisfied. It is much more convenient to install, and it is very environmentally friendly, resistant to high temperature, not easy to corrode, and has a long service life. The most important thing is The cost is very low, so there are a lot of SMC mold products on the market now, such as SMC washbasin molds, SMC bathtub molds, SMC laundry sink molds, etc., have already used this material!”
Xiao Li said: “This material is very suitable for my requirements. Master Liu, I will use SMC molds for the bathroom in my house!”
Master Liu responded with a smile: “Okay!”

Some people know MDC because we are a professional compression mold manufacturer in SMC mould, BMC mould, GMT mould and LFT mould forming process technology, but in fact carbon fiber mould is also our core business in recent years.
When manufacturing carbon fiber molds or products, every effort is made to ensure the highest quality molding workmanship and the highest aesthetics.
1. The first is the design of the carbon fiber mould. The parting surface of the mould is an important factor in determining the structure of the mould. The mould structure can be semi-closed. The mould consists of upper and lower moulds (that is, female and male molds) and cores.
2. In order to successfully eject the carbon fiber part from the cavity intact, a reasonable ejection mechanism is critical.
3. Ensure the airtightness of the carbon fiber mould. In the vacuum process, the adhesion of carbon fiber can be made tighter, and the quality of the product can be guaranteed.
4. There is a certain heating device, which can heat the mould to a certain temperature (60-120°C), the temperature distribution of the mould is even, and the temperature can be detected and adjusted.

MDC mold adopts vacuum forming technology, which has a long service life, light weight and high strength, and is not easy to corrode.
MDC’s vacuum forming technology is a technology in which the mold is extracted from the air in the process of pressing the air, and the mold is usually produced and manufactured. MDC mold also adopts vacuum forming technology, which has a long service life, light weight and high strength, and is not easy to corrode.
Principle of vacuum forming mold:
Vacuum forming is to fix the thermoplastic sheet and sheet on the mold, heat it with a radiant heater to reach the softening temperature, and then use a vacuum pump to remove the air between the mold and the plate (sheet), so that the plate (sheet) The material parison is formed according to the contour of the mold. With the increase of the vacuum degree, the forming pressure under the parison is only 0.06-0.085MPa, while the air pressure above the parison remains at about 0.1 MPa. After cooling and setting, the product is blown out of the mold with compressed air and demolded.
Vacuum forming mold forming method:
Vacuum forming methods mainly include concave mold vacuum forming, punch vacuum forming, concave and convex mold vacuum forming successively, bubble blowing vacuum forming, auxiliary punch vacuum forming and vacuum forming with gas buffer device.
Advantages of vacuum forming molds:
(1) Saving raw and auxiliary materials, light weight, convenient transportation, good sealing performance, and meeting the requirements of environmental protection and green packaging;
(2) It can pack any special-shaped products without additional buffer materials;
(3) The packaged products are transparent and visible, beautiful in appearance, and easy to sell;
(4) The packaged products are suitable for mechanized and automated packaging, which facilitates modern management, saves manpower and improves efficiency.
