Glass 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.
