The full name of SMC is Sheet Molding Compound. SMC is made of resin paste impregnated fiber or chopped fiber mat and covered with the polyethylene film on both sides. SMC belongs to the range of prepreg felt and is one of the most widely used molding materials in the world.
The SMC molding process is an advanced composite molding method, and the SMC mold is the basis of the molding process. Good product quality is guaranteed by reliable molds. Therefore, the design of the mold is particularly important in the entire SMC mold production work.
In the SMC mold design process, the mold cavity should be designed according to the specific dimensions of the product. In addition to this, it is necessary to select the appropriate material according to the surface quality requirements of the product and the size of the demand. In order to ensure product quality and process feasibility, the cutting edge and the ejection system of the mold should be designed reasonably. In order to make the product easy to demold, ensure product accuracy, strength and facilitate mold processing and other factors, the selection of parting surface should consider the following principles:
? In order to make the product easy to launch and simplify the ejection mechanism, the position of the parting surface should be such that the product can be left in the lower mold as much as possible after opening the mold;
? Minimize the damage of the flash to the appearance of the product, and at the same time, it should be easy to remove the residual flash;
? It is convenient for mold manufacturing and mold parts processing;
?For products with high requirements for radial dimensional accuracy, the influence of flash thickness on product accuracy should be considered, and the vertical parting surface can be taken to ensure the product radial accuracy;
?Ensure the strength of the product and avoid sharp corners and thin walls.

What is SMC Mould
SMC is sheet moulding.
SMC mould usually needs to use hydraulic press machine to produce parts. The cavity and core is fixed to top and bottom platens of machine. Once the material is placed into the open mould, the machine closes, mould gets heated, then the press pressure force material to flow all over the SMC mould. In the end, we can take the finished products from the mould.
SMC molding parts has good dimensional stability and excellent thermal resistance. So it is more and more widely used in heavy truck industry, bathroom, agri industry and other fields.
MDC mould, as a professional SMC mould manufacturer in Chian, provides the solution and proposal with our customers in the composite industry.
Please keep in touch with us, when any doubts on SMC Mould.

SMC Mold in Heavy truck industry
MDC Mould, as a professional SMC Mold maker in china, provided SMC Mold as well as solution in heavy truck industry.
SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) works well for heavy duty truck parts, especially ones requiring complexity, strength, and impact resistance. One of the projects MDC mould is working on is a heavy truck with these SMC parts, including roof spoiler and passenger’s truck fender extensions. Each of these SMC parts is very complex in geometry because of its complex application. The following is a picture of one of the SMC fender extensions.
If a part needed this much complexity was manufactured with sheet metal, it would have many more pieces of the assembly and much more bracing. Metal would also not have the resistance to corrosion and impact that is enjoyed by this composite part.
This fender extension with SMC material is from a truck that has been on the road since 1993, with over 270,000 miles on it. So you can obviously see that composite material has a good application.
Please keep us informed when any new projects required for discussion.
