New process after 2 years of hard work

Take a look here www.boycecomponents.com

It is a process of heating the resin layer with electricity. Designed to make molds heat instantly to assist cure, or consumer parts that are made of fiberglass and use heat as a useful property.

Tell me what you guys think

Are you guys hiring? LOL :smiley: :wink:

Seems very interesting to me. Would it reduce overall cure time?

Thanks for the reply!:slight_smile:

Yes, that was my original intent was to make molds and be able to cure the gel and then laminates in a quick progression. I have made a number of molds, (along with plenty of learning mistakes) and have narrowed the process to what I found works best. I built some solid surface countertop molds (vibrating tables) and have pulled sample size countertops in 20 minutes. The broadest application, I think, is going to be in end-use products. Items such as wing intergration for de-icing, heating devices and so-on. I just recieved an email from Norway about application for off-shore drilling rigs.

I priced the entire kit at $2500 which includes the Control Box (a very expensive item on my end) which can be operated by laptop or manually on many molds. This is everything needed including a quart of resin, to make parts/molds or experiment with. Then the consumable stuff, like resin and conductors are available seperately. The Control Box isn’t even neccessary, but it will control the temp like an autoclave. Most of my interest so far is in just the resin…which I thought was strange. But it is being tested extensively right now by a branch of the government;)

Interesting product. Are you the chemical engineer that developed the resin formula?

Not an official chemical engineer, but I did create it myself. Along with the rest of the system. I would say the process has required and equal amount of chemical engineering to electrical engineering to mechanical engineering for the machinery. My head hurts when I look at all the work done so far.:smiley:

Cool product!

One thing, I’m not trying to nit-pick, but the web-designer spelled integrated “intergrated” on the website. Just thought I’d give you the heads-up.

One more idea for a good use, that system could be integrated into a carbon fiber overlaid nitrous bottle so that you wouldn’t have to have an external warmer.
