Carbon Fiber Mass Production

HRC mass produces carbon fiber parts in Changshu, China, with a full range of thermoset and thermoplastic processes under one roof: injection molding, HP-RTM, wet compression molding, C-SMC, pultrusion, PCM, autoclave and filament winding. 30,000 square metres for automotive and 20,000 for aerospace, certified to IATF 16949:2016 and AS9100D.

How does HRC choose the process for carbon fiber mass production?

Volume, geometry, structural load and target cost decide the process, not the other way round. A few examples from our plants:

  • Exterior body panels in C-SMC or PCM, with molding cycles of 5 to 10 minutes per fender.
  • Structural parts with high fiber content in HP-RTM, which combines fast cycles with high mechanical properties.
  • Semi-structural and interior parts, underbody panels and battery trays in wet compression molding, with little scrap and resin waste.
  • Complex geometries with tight dimensional tolerances in injection molding, including thermoplastic wheel inserts with a cycle under 300 seconds.
  • Primary aerospace structures and motorsport parts in autoclave-cured prepreg.
  • Pressure vessels, tubes and profiles in filament winding and pultrusion.

Production plants

  • HRC Auto, No. 58 Huangshan Road, Changshu, 30,000 square metres: automotive carbon fiber parts for OEMs on several continents, from interior and exterior panels to structural components and monocoques.
  • HRC Aero, Building E, No. 1150 Southeast Avenue, Changshu, 20,000 square metres: aerospace carbon fiber components and airframe structures for large commercial aircraft and eVTOL programmes.
  • HRC Carbon Neutrality, No. 1267 Southeast Avenue, Changshu, 8,000 square metres: the kiloton-scale carbon fiber recycling line and regenerated materials.

Quality assurance in serial production

Every programme runs under APQP project management with FMEA, SPC, MSA, 8D, 5W and Six Sigma methods. The plants are certified to AS9100D, IATF 16949:2016, Nadcap, DIN 6701 and ISO 14001:2015. After molding, parts go through post-processing: five-axis CNC machining, automatic gluing and paint lines, sanding and polishing, all in environmentally controlled areas.

Frequently asked questions

Which volumes suit carbon fiber mass production at HRC?

From low-volume aerospace and premium automotive programmes on autoclave or RTM to high-volume programmes on HP-RTM, C-SMC, PCM and injection molding. Send your annual volume and we propose the process and the cost per part.

Can HRC produce both thermoset and thermoplastic parts?

Yes. Thermoset processes (HP-RTM, C-SMC, PCM, autoclave, pultrusion, filament winding) and thermoplastic processes (injection molding, thermoplastic compression) run in the same plants, so the material choice follows the part, not the plant.

Does HRC also design the part and the tooling?

Yes. Engineering design and tooling and prototyping are in-house, which shortens the path from drawing to series production.

Are the plants certified for automotive and aerospace work?

Yes. IATF 16949:2016 for automotive, AS9100D and Nadcap for aerospace, DIN 6701 for adhesive bonding and ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management.
