Fiberglass Manufacturing Process at PT Origa Mulia: From Design to High-Quality Production

PT Origa Mulia is committed to providing high-quality Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) products. In this article, we will discuss the FRP manufacturing process, from design to production, and the advantages offered by PT Origa Mulia.

1. Design

The FRP manufacturing process begins with the design phase. The design team at PT Origa Mulia collaborates with clients to understand their specific needs and desired applications. At this stage, various factors are considered, including structural strength, aesthetics, and product functionality.

3D design software is used to create accurate models and simulate performance, ensuring the final product meets the required standards.

2. Mold and Die Making

After the design is approved, the next step is creating the molds and dies. The mold is the template used to shape the FRP material into the desired product. Precision in mold-making is critical, as the quality of the mold affects the shape and dimensions of the final product. In this process, CNC technology plays a vital role.

CNC machines are used to create molds and dies with high accuracy. CNC technology allows the production of molds from materials such as aluminum or steel with extreme precision. The machines carve the mold based on the digital design input.

The use of CNC machines ensures that every detail of the mold, from surface smoothness to sharp corners, is crafted with great precision, minimizing manufacturing errors and ensuring product consistency.

3. Material Selection

Once the design is finalized, the next step is selecting the raw materials. FRP consists of fibers (fiberglass) and resin. Choosing the right type of fiber and resin is crucial to ensure that the final product has the properties required for its intended application.

PT Origa Mulia uses high-quality, tested materials to produce durable and high-performance products.

4. Manufacturing Process

After material selection, the manufacturing process begins. Several common methods are used in FRP production, including:

Hand Lay-up: This method involves manually placing fibers onto the mold, followed by the application of resin. It is commonly used for large products with low complexity.
Molding: This process involves shaping composite materials (such as fiberglass and resin) in specific molds until they form the desired shape after hardening.
Pultrusion: This process involves pulling fibers through liquid resin and a mold to create a specific profile. Pultrusion produces products with high consistency and good dimensional accuracy.

At PT Origa Mulia, we combine various techniques based on the specific needs of each project to produce optimal FRP products.

5. Curing and Hardening

After manufacturing, the product undergoes the curing and hardening phase. The resin used in FRP hardens through a chemical reaction when exposed to certain temperatures and humidity levels.

PT Origa Mulia has facilities equipped with advanced temperature and humidity control systems to ensure the products cure evenly and optimally.

6. Finishing and Quality Control

The final stage of the FRP manufacturing process is finishing. This includes cutting, sanding, and painting according to the client's specifications. Afterward, the products undergo rigorous quality inspections.

At PT Origa Mulia, we ensure that every product leaving our facility has passed a series of quality tests to meet international standards.

The FRP manufacturing process at PT Origa Mulia involves several integrated stages, from design to high-quality production. With a commitment to innovation and quality, we strive to provide the best solutions for every client's needs.
