01 / Application-Driven Design

Design Starts from Real Operating Conditions

Every FRP product begins with application requirements. SUSDURA evaluates electrical insulation, mechanical load, flame resistance, weatherability, IP protection, dimensional tolerance, chemical resistance, assembly conditions, and lifecycle expectations before defining the material system and manufacturing route.

Application Requirement Engineering Focus
  • 01Electrical Insulation CTI, dielectric strength, arc resistance
  • 02Fire Safety Flame retardancy, heat resistance, smoke control
  • 03Outdoor Durability UV, moisture, corrosion, weatherability
  • 04Mechanical Strength Load, stiffness, impact resistance
  • 05Dimensional Accuracy Shrinkage, tolerance, warpage control
  • 06Protection Level Sealing, water ingress, IP requirement
  • 07Cost Target Material efficiency, cycle time, tooling strategy

04 / Design for Manufacturing

Designed for Function. Engineered for Production.

A successful SMC/BMC product must balance performance, tooling feasibility, molding behavior, production efficiency, and long-term field reliability. SUSDURA develops product structure, material selection, mold design, and process parameters in parallel to reduce development risk and improve manufacturing consistency.

01 Ribs

Ribs and bosses strengthen and stiffen SMC/BMC parts, but on Class A outer panels they're avoided — they can create sink marks, localized depressions caused by the non-uniform cooling and shrinking of the material. Harmless on non-appearance surfaces, but a serious issue on cosmetically critical parts, depending on geometry and shrinkage rate.

On non-Class A designs, sinks are minimized or eliminated with the right combination of draft angle, radii, and rib thickness.

sink
Sink forms opposite the rib, where the junction cools slower than the wall.

02 Radii

The recommended radii is 2mm minimum for inside corner radii and 1.5mm minimum for outside corner radii — smooth transitions let material flow and cool evenly.

2 mm min. inside radius
1.5 mm min. outside radius

05 / Tooling & Mold Engineering

Mold Engineering Built Around Process Reality.

Mold design directly determines part accuracy, surface quality, cycle stability, insert reliability, and production efficiency. SUSDURA develops tooling based on material flow, curing behavior, temperature balance, venting, insert positioning, ejection, and shrinkage compensation.

06 / Compression Molding Process Control

Controlled SMC/BMC Molding Parameters.

SUSDURA controls compression molding through material charge layout, mold temperature, closing speed, pressure curve, curing time, venting, insert positioning, and demolding strategy to achieve stable dimensions, surface quality, and mechanical performance.

Technical parameters

Warpage Uneven shrinkage, fiber orientation, temperature imbalance Mold temperature balance, charge pattern, shrinkage control
