MCS offers a wide range of reinforced plastics manufacturing technologies to serve different industrial requirements. This flexibility allows the company to select the right process for each project, balancing cost, performance, and production scale.
RTM Light
RTM Light is a closed-mold process used to manufacture composite parts.
In this technology, resin is injected under controlled pressure into a mold containing dry fibers that have already been positioned. The process uses lighter molds and vacuum assistance to improve fiber impregnation and process control.
RTM Light enables the production of parts with good repeatability, thickness control, and surface finish, while reducing tooling investment compared with traditional closed-mold systems.
RTM Skin
RTM Skin is a variation of the RTM process used to manufacture fiberglass parts.
The main difference lies in the mold. Instead of the rigid counter-mold used in traditional RTM, the system uses a flexible silicone membrane applied over the main mold.
This configuration makes it easier to produce lightweight parts with more complex geometries, good surface finish, and greater process repeatability.
Vacuum Infusion
In vacuum infusion, atmospheric pressure pulls liquid resin through layers of dry fiber inside a sealed system. The result is a part with a high fiber-to-resin ratio, low weight, strong mechanical performance, and minimal air entrapment in the laminate.
Pultrusion
Pultrusion is a continuous and automated process used to produce profiles with a constant cross-section, such as beams, tubes, and rods. Continuous fibers are pulled through a resin bath and then through a heated die, where the material is shaped and cured. It is a well-established solution for the large-scale production of structural components that require high strength and stiffness.
3D Printing
MCS uses 3D printing to accelerate prototyping, validation, and tooling development. With a print capacity of 1 m x 1 m x 1 m, the company can produce large parts in a single operation, which helps reduce assembly steps, bonding, and rework while improving dimensional consistency. The dual-extrusion system also allows different materials to be combined in the same print, including lower-cost options in internal fill areas. This capability can be applied to prototypes, test molds, fixtures, intermediate parts for secondary finishing, and final components, depending on the needs of each project.
Molds
Tooling plays a central role in final part quality. MCS designs and manufactures molds for the different processes it operates, helping ensure dimensional accuracy, durability, and repeatability in both prototype and serial production.
Laboratory
MCS operates a laboratory focused on material characterization, validation, and process control for composite parts and structures. Its setup follows ISO/IEC 17025 requirements and supports both internal qualification work and third-party testing services. The lab is equipped for mechanical and structural testing, including tensile, compression, and flexural tests, interlaminar shear strength evaluation, and characterization of laminates and nacelle components. It also performs thermal analyses such as DSC, TGA, and DMA to assess cure behavior, thermal stability, and viscoelastic properties.
In parallel, the structure supports quality control activities, including fiber content measurement, density and porosity evaluation, and microscopic failure analysis. Beyond routine testing, the laboratory also supports engineering work related to process qualification, product development, and technical assistance to customers. This allows MCS to serve not only the composites industry but also projects involving coatings, polymers, metallic materials, hybrid systems, and elastomers across sectors such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and energy.
