Machined components are coated with adhesive and placed on a membrane-pressing table—with RENOLIT 3D Laminate suspended above—then slid into a chamber that heats the laminate and creates a vacuum, drawing the laminate tightly onto the part. Exceptional formability enables these 3D Laminates to conform to deep recesses as well as fine details and sharp corners while maintaining uniform wall thickness with minimal thin-out. Once excess laminate is trimmed from the perimeter of the backside (which is frequently pre-laminated with melamine), the membrane-pressed parts are ready for assembly.
