Advanced Resin Transfer Molding (AdvRTM) at Dow-UT is enabled by employing a well defined and disciplined manufacturing approach to part fabrication. Attention to detail and in-process verification throughout all steps of manufacturing combine to produce high quality and affordable high performance composite structures. This well structured manufacturing approach has enabled the development of a precise Cost Modeling approach for predicting recurring material and labor, and for simulating the manufacturing cycle, for AdvRTM components. Use of these newly developed tools allows Dow-UT to evaluate manufacturing and part design options to optimize cost. Extremely quick response to customer RFQ's is also achieved. The AdvRTM process continues to prove itself as an affordable manufacturing approach for a variety of demanding aerospace applications. An extremely cost effective alternative to traditional manufacturing approaches is achieved by combining the attributes of lower cost raw materials, in-process verification, precision tolerances, and degree of complexity available with AdvRTM. The practice of concurrent product design, manufacturing process development, and tool design, combined with selected automated equipment and facilities at Dow-UT, continue to demonstrate the ability to meet aggressive program requirements using this technology. This discussion is based on recent successful applications of AdvRTM in the aerospace industry and will provide an overview of the development approach, the AdvRTM process, and the AdvRTM production facility.
