How Liquid Molding Builds the Impossible (RTM vs VARTM)

Discover the manufacturing process that is transforming how we build everything from supercars to spaceships. Liquid Molding (specifically Resin Transfer Molding or RTM) allows engineers to create single, incredibly strong parts that replace dozens of metal components. In this video, we break down exactly how RTM works, the engineering behind the "fiber skeletons" (preforms), and the key differences between high-pressure RTM and Vacuum Assisted RTM (VARTM) for massive structures like wind turbine blades.
