Vacuum RTM (VaRTM)
Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) or Vacuum Injected Molding is a closed mold, composite manufacturing process. VARTM is a variation of Resin transfer molding. Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) with its distinguishing characteristic is the replacement of the top portion of a mold tool with a vacuum bag and the use of a vacuum to assist in resin flow. The process involves the use of a vacuum to facilitate resin flow into a fiber layup contained within a mold tool covered by a vacuum bag. After the impregnation occurs the composite part is allowed to cure at room temperature with an optional post-cure sometimes carried out.

Solvent Prepreg
Prepreg is manufactured primarily using two processes: solvent coating and hot melt coating. The resin in the bath is dissolved in a solvent, typically an alcohol or acetone, to reduce its viscosity and increase its ability to penetrate the fibers.

Pultrusion
Pultrusion is a continuous process for the manufacture of composite materials with constant cross-section. The term is a portmanteau word, combining pull and extrusion. While extrusion pushes the material, pultrusion works by pulling the material.
Pultrusion
Pultrusion is a continuous process for manufacture of composite materials with constant cross-section. The term is a portmanteau word, combining “pull” and “extrusion”. As opposed to extrusion, which pushes the material, pultrusion works by pulling the material.
