Why use SMC and BMC?
• Flexibility to shape and create unique designs
• Providing great strength, stiffness, mechanical
integrity, better than what is possible with
thermoplastics
• Resisting heat (insulating, dimensionally stable)
• Light weight compared to steel, aluminum, stone
• In many cases cost-effective for medium to large
production series (5,000-200,000 parts per year)

What are SMC and BMC?
Sheet Moulding Compound
Sheets consisting of uncured resin,
reinforced with glass fibers
Bulk Moulding Compound
Bulk mixture of uncured
resin, reinforced with glass fibres
• Mixtures of resin, fillers and reinforcement
• Processed in heated mould to form a cured component
