Compression Forming

Capabilities:

  • Example of Compression Forming

    Lightweight, non-stick, virtually stain-resistant foam parts capable of including complex geometries and detailed artwork

    • 300-ton high capacity, heated platen forming press
    • 40-ton high capacity, cooling platen forming press
    • In-house mold & fixture machining

Materials:TUF Example

  • Textured UltraFoam (TUF)
    • Closed-cell, cross-linked foam
    • Textured to any pattern
    • Fluid-resistance, stain-resistance maintained if cut or punctured
  • HealthCare Fabric (HCF)
    • Antifungal, antibacterial, non-allergenic
    • Fluid-resistant
    • Stain-resistant
  • Carbon fiber HCF Example
    • Radiolucent
    • Strong
    • Ideal for customized imaging system components

 

 

 

CFI also has extensive capabilities for custom compression forming of carbon-epoxy materials, to make strong, radiolucent imaging-system components.
