Enables the creation of complex shapes and detailed designs, catering to professional performance needs.Reduced Material Waste:
Precise mold design minimizes material wastage, contributing to a more eco-friendly production process.Versatile Material Compatibility:
Can integrate various composite materials (like carbon fiber, fiberglass, and foam), fulfilling diverse performance requirements.Environmental Potential:
Optimized thermoforming technology can reduce energy consumption, promoting a more sustainable manufacturing approach.
Steps to make the rackets:
Material Preparation:
- Select the core material (e.g., EVA foam or polyurethane) and surface material (e.g., carbon fiber or fiberglass).
- Cut and layer the materials to the required size and thickness.
Heating Stage:
- Place the layered materials into the mold.
- Heat the materials to a specific temperature (typically 150–200°C) to soften them for shaping.
Compression Molding:
- Apply high pressure using a mold to shape the materials precisely.
- Ensure all air bubbles are removed, and the core and surface layers bond tightly.
Cooling and Solidification:
- Allow the mold to cool, solidifying the racket into its final shape.
- Remove the formed racket from the mold once it is fully set.
Trimming and Finishing:
- Trim any excess material around the edges.
- Polish the surface and add protective coatings for durability and aesthetics.
Inspection and Quality Control:
- Check for defects, such as uneven bonding or imperfections in the surface.
- Ensure the racket meets performance and design standards.
Final Assembly:
- Attach additional components like the grip handle and decals.
- Package the finished product for distribution.
