DForm deformable composite system combines short fiber conformability with the handling and laminate characteristics of a conventional long fiber composite. Its deformation characteristics are achieved through selective fiber slitting of a fabric prepreg, and it does not require detailed laminating. This prepreg system flows under pressure, replicating precise details, retaining thickness and fiber orientation and producing a good surface finish.
DForm Fabric Tooling Prepreg is available as formatted multi-ply tiles of standard fabric tooling prepreg to which Cytec's disruptive DForm technology has been applied.
