Rapid tooling.


ProtoComposite SL resin technology is said to be widely applicable to various types of tooling, including RIM (reaction injection molding Reaction injection molding OR RIM Molding is similar to injection molding except that a reaction occurs within the mold. The process uses thermoset polymers (commonly polyurethane) instead of thermoplastic polymers used in standard injection molding. ), injection molding injection molding
n.
A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold.
, vacuum forming and laminate construction. Composite SL resins are said to exhibit markedly higher strength and modulus (stiffness) than unfilled resins. This is said to help maintain the mold's dimensions and integrity while injecting thermoplastics. The flexural flexural

pertaining to the flexure of a joint.


flexural deformity
fixation of joints in flexion. In the newborn called contracted calves or foals.
 modulus for standard SL resins ranges between 145 and 435 ksi. However, ProtoTool 20L and Nanoform 15120, due to their high ceramic reinforcement content, are said to demonstrate modulus performance of approximately 1,350 ksi and 645 ksi, respectively. Modulus decreases as a function of elevated temperature.
