In this issue, let’s explore the reason why the front cover of the car adopts SMC mould.

The front cover of a car is an indispensable part of every car, but the material used is also very particular. Now on the market, more and more car front covers are made of SMC materials, so why can the front cover mold stand out? Let’s analyze it.

①Light weight of the front mask mold: Comparing with steel materials, composite materials can reduce the weight by 20-30%, but the stiffness and strength are similar, so people will naturally choose lighter weight.

②Excellent physical properties of the front mask mold: the mold material can maintain good strength and rigidity even under high temperature conditions, which can basically compete with aluminum alloy materials, and is an ideal material for replacing steel with plastic.

③Corrosion resistance of the front mask mold: SMC material itself is a corrosion-resistant material. At the same time, when this material is hit by an external force, the ability to rebound from the dents or depressions produced is stronger than steel.

④The front mask mold has heat resistance: this SMC material can maintain dimensional stability from -50 degrees Celsius to +200 degrees Celsius.

To sum up, there are reasons why SMC front mask are becoming more and more popular materials.

MDC Mould has rich experience in the production of SMC moulds. As a supplier of SMC moulds, it has many years of research in the design of SMC moulds and mold technology. Mass production to meet customer needs. If necessary, please contact us!

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.

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.
