Fibreglass (GRP) as a material for CNC manufacturing. Models
In this article we will talk more about fibreglass. What is this material, what CNC products are made of it? What characteristics is characterised by? Why is so valued among modern materials?
And on our site you can download ready-made 3D models for the manufacture of various products on numerically controlled machines made of fibreglass or other materials. Or order the development of models on an individual sketch.
About fibreglass plastic:
GRP is a composite material. That is combined. It consists of glass filler and synthetic polymer binder. Hence the name. The filler is glass fibres in the form of threads, bundles. All kinds of plastics - polyester, epoxy, polycarbonate and so on - act as binders.
Glass fibre reinforced plastic is valued for the following properties:
- Relatively low price in comparison with other materials, for example, wood, stone,
- Excellent strength characteristics,
- High resistance to high humidity, precipitation and temperature changes, good chemical resistance, resistance to ultraviolet radiation, anti-corrosion properties,
- Low toxicity of gases emitted during combustion, minimal risk of fire,
- Excellent electrical insulation,
- The possibility of making any decor, even of high complexity.
What is made of fibreglass?
Glass fibre reinforced plastic has a very wide range of applications. It is suitable for the manufacture of a variety of products. It is often used to create spare parts for automotive equipment. It is used in manufacturing, industry. In the creation of advertising structures.
And CNC machines most often create matrices for fibreglass.
Matrix is a mould, stamp, with recesses for casting. The presence of a good matrix - the key to creating a quality product.
The slightest mistake can lead to the fact that the product will have to be thrown away, because it will not fit the specified parameters.
Fortunately, modern technologies make it possible to obtain parts that fully meet the specified parameters, norms and standards. And CNC machine plays an important role in this. The die can be made of MDF, carbon fibre reinforced plastic or aluminium.
Matrixes are usually subject to the following requirements: they must be characterised by shape constancy, temperature stability, wear resistance and durability.
Sculptures, statues, advertising structures made of fibreglass:
In addition to products for the automotive industry, fibreglass is often used to make all sorts of art objects, sculptures, statues, statuettes for landscape design, polygonal sculptures, huge volumetric letters and advertising structures.
In this case, all the same properties of the material - its durability, resistance to temperature fluctuations, long service life, minimal maintenance - are important.
Glass fibre reinforced plastic is well cut on CNC, which allows to create products of any shape, with any decor.
In addition, bas-reliefs, columns, decor and so on can be made of fibreglass.
Order 3D models for the manufacture of products made of fibreglass:
On our site you can buy ready-made 3d models of sculptures, polygonal figures and many other products, which can be further manufactured on a CNC machine. Products from composite - will definitely be in demand among your customers and will become another successful sphere of your activity, bringing good income.
In addition, we offer customised models. Quickly and qualitatively we will develop models in the style and design you need, for any spheres of production, we will help to work out the appearance of the product, if you have not finally decided on the wish, or completely repeat your own sketch in 3d stl format.
Call, write, leave requests on the site.
