RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING (RTM) RTM PROCESS impregnating preformed dry reinforcement in a closed mold with wet thermosetting resin under pressure REINFORCEMENTS USED IN RTM type E-glass, S-glass carbon/graphite aramid form mat fabric textile preform architecture (knitted, braided, 3-D stitched) preforms - preshaping of reinforcement DESIGN OF PREFORMS compression of fiber preform into the mold (denser the fiber, the more resistance it offers to impregnation by resin) fiber orientation (resin flows faster along the length of the fiber than across it) multiple layers or plies (impede or complicate
