Carbon Fiber Composite Resin Transfer Molding
I have a dry preform or want to avoid prepreg logistics. Who runs RTM or VARTM at my part size?
What it is
Injecting or infusing resin into a dry preform held in a closed tool or under a vacuum bag. Avoids prepreg's freezer logistics and out-time, and pairs naturally with 3D woven preforms.

CTL Aerospace, Inc. VerifiedAS9100NADCAP CompositesNADCAP Materials Testing Laboratories
Resin transfer moulding in carbon fibre. CTL works silica and quartz as well as carbon, glass and Kevlar, which points at radome and thermal protection work rather than general airframe structure. AS9100D and ITAR compliant; the NADCAP scope is stated only as a 'compliant captive laboratory'. Confirm it. No autoclave dimensions or part size limits are published.

Hawthorn Composites (Hawthorn Aero) Reported
Dry fabric and preform with resin infusion, including an overbraid and infusion route used for the inlet ducts on the Kratos XQ-58A Valkyrie. Recorded under resin transfer moulding because this atlas defines that service to include infusing a dry preform under a vacuum bag.
