Resin Infusion with 3D Core and Fluor Resin

Hi Everyone! In this video I show you how I did a VARTM (Resin infusion) of a 3D Core with fiberglass and Fluor resin (RED) Keep in mind that this is not glow in the dark and will only react under a UV-light. The only purpose of the UV light is to make the red color more reactive. This has nothing to do with the curing of the epoxy resin here. 3D|CORE™ is a unique, high performance, conformable core material ideally suited to use as a core material in resin infused composite parts. 3D CORE's special honeycomb-like hexagon structure enables it to drape into curved moulds, allowing it to be used on more compound shaped parts where a conventional foam core would be difficult or impossible to use. Another benefit of 3D CORE's honeycomb-like structure is that the gaps between the cells make perfect airflow and resin-flow channels meaning that 3D CORE can serve as an internal flow media for vacuum resin infused or RTM laminates. 3D CORE PET 100 is a 115kg/m³ density PET (polyethylene terephthalate) foam. It offers excellent mechanical performance and is one of the highest performing foam core materials on the market in terms of compressive and shear strength against weight/density so if you're looking for a very high performance core material for use making larger moulding such as vehicle panels or boat hulls then 3D CORE offers many advantages. At 115kg/m³ PET 100 is a higher density core than our Closed Cell PVC Foam for example, especially after some additional resin uptake into the gaps between the honeycomb cells but its compressive strength is also considerably higher.
