Our unique technology and processing capabilities offer improved quality andconsistency over conventional composites fabrication. FDI has expertise in the following areas:

• Lost Core RTM (LCRTM)- proprietary FDI process for molding complex, hollow structures• Vacuum-Assisted RTM (VARTM)- autoclave quality parts at a lower cost

• Matched-Die RTM- offers economical, high-rate production

Who We Are

Design through production — we’re the RTM experts! 

RTM Is Our Specialty

RTM Advantage

Solutions

Turn-Key Solutions

Fiber Dynamics, Inc. is a leader in the design and fabrication of simple tocomplex out-of autoclave composite products. We serve the aerospace,

military, consumer, medical and motorsports industries.

We specialize in Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) of composite parts and

assemblies. In simple terms, the RTM process uses dry composite material,infused with resin, and cured without an autoclave.

The RTM process combined with our unique and proprietary capabilities offersimproved quality and consistency over conventional composite fabricationmethods using pre-impregnated or “wet” material.

We routinely reduce the “total cost” for our customers and provide higher levels of quality.

Our job at Fiber Dynamics, Inc. is to solve customer problems. With composites, problems often involve multipledimensions where customers do not have the technical know-how or experience to solve their problem in a way that yields

an optimum solution. That’s where Fiber Dynamics, Inc. comes in. We combine our materials and design expertise withour unique processes and manufacturing experience to give customers comprehensive, optimized composite solutions.

“One-Shot” Integrated Structures

How can I capture the potential advantages integrated structures can offer?

Is there a company that can design and produce hollow cavity, integrated

composite structures?

Fiber Dynamics, Inc. has developed the unique ability to economically producecomplex, “one-shot” integrated structures. We create seemingly impossible toproduce hollow cavity components using our proprietary Lost Core RTM Process(LCRTM).

“One-Shot” Advantages:

  •  Cost savings to customer  •  Simplied component / 

assembly design  •  Weight reduction  •  Elimination of secondary

manufacturing operations  •  Reduced production cycle time  •  Improved quality

The optimum balance of performance and cost!
