What is resin infusion?

Advantages of resin infusion

Resin Infusion is a relatively new technique in composite construction. A vacuum bag is constructed over the laminate, and a vacuum is pulled. Resin enters the laminate through feeder pipes and a runner system, and impregnates the glass, aramide or carbon fibers. Results are a high quality composite laminate, with high fiber/resin ratio, and perfect adhesion to core materials.

Film infusion is resin infusion under a vacuum film of some sort. Advantages are a low starting cost, flexibility in the infusion strategy, and the ability to monitor exactly what is happening. This is exactly the type of infusion that we are discussing here.
