Hey Guys,
Just ran across this on [ame=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J6SGZZolbU”]YouTube[/ame]
Near the end of the video there is a section claming no catchpot, no calculations and reduced waste as benefits.
Interested in your thoughts.

that’s a Greek company, and my suppliers. so if you have any specific questions you would like to ask them just tell me and i will call them.
It’s a good video - I just wish (and maybe you can pass it along) that they had spent more time on the details.
i.e. what fabrics were laid down, final product quality & etc.
I like what I see because it appears that if something crazy were to happen… like maybe you just spilled the remainder of your resin and you won’t get more for a few days that you could just clamp everything down and restart the infusion later with not a whole lot of work involved other than re-bagging part of the mold and replacing a line or two. The rest of the media would be in good condition to continue the infusion at a later time.
Keep in mind that cascaded infusion indeed does work, but only on relatively flat parts. On higher parts gravity might take over, doing funky things.
Thanks Herman!!
Nothing new, but for a part like this, it seems a bit pointless. Wasted time, resin and materials. Resin will be in the tubes, not the part. materials, depending on the spacing…more tubes/spiral. Just do a center infusion line, and side vents, or one side to the other.
You would think that a longitudinal set up as mentioned above would be simpler for the plumbing and less mixing with larger resin batches?? Seems like more work with the extra set up and more risk of error with so many inlets.
A project like this I would probably tackle by feeding resin in the middle, lengthwise, and vacuum on the perimeter. If you see what ends they manage to do, that must be possible.
