HEATED COMPOSITE MATERIAL MOLD
P202530465
The present invention belongs to the field of molds, specifically to the field of heatable molds. In particular, the invention relates to a mold that can be heated by simply applying an electric current, made of a composite material consisting of thermosetting polymer resin reinforced with mechanically recycled carbon fibers, as well as to the method of manufacturing said mold by 3D printing. The heatable mold made of resin and mechanically recycled carbon fibers has a faster, more uniform, and more efficient heating capacity than conventional heatable molds. Furthermore, its manufacture makes use of carbon fiber waste, which is discarded in large quantities and has little use. In addition, the 3D printing manufacturing method In addition, the 3D printing manufacturing method allows for the production of customized and even unique parts without incurring additional manufacturing costs, as there is no need to amortize expensive molds.
las empresas que usan materiales compuestos están muy necesitadas de encontrar segundas vidas en servicio a estos materiales compuestos de desecho. Dichos materiales compuestos (tanto los sobrantes de preimpregnados frescos, como los propios artículos de materiales compuestos tras su vida útil) son reciclables, siendo el método de reciclaje más atractivo el reciclado mecánico por trituración, ya que presenta numerosas ventajas respecto a otros métodos de reciclaje alternativos,
