Fiberglass Custom Fabrication Services

At CMDT Manufacturing, we specialize in fiberglass custom fabrication, producing parts of any size or complexity. Over the past 10+ years, we have manufactured products ranging from full-sized boats to small, close-tolerance aerospace components. We stay up to date with all of the newest fiberglass manufacturing technologies and leverage advanced material compositions that exhibit the highest degree of strength, durability, and resilience. Along with our technical competencies, our strength as fiberglass fabricators lies in our exceptional customer service. We listen carefully to our customers to understand what they need and then develop a custom fiberglass manufacturing solution that meets or exceeds their requirements regarding quality, cost, and schedule.

Structurally strong and lightweight, fiberglass is long-lasting, corrosion-resistant, non-conductive, and dimensionally stable. We use various methods to mold it into almost any configuration with a multitude of options for color and finish. Along with hand layup for the production of molds, prototypes, small batches, or one-of-a-kind items, our capabilities include vacuum bag molding, transfer molding, and structural foam molding. We work with a wide variety of standard and high-tech fiberglass and resin types and use the best combination based on the needs of the finished part. A variety of gel coatings are available to add an aesthetic appeal and a protective barrier for long-lasting performance in all types of environmental and industrial conditions.

With our ability to create multi-part molds, we impose no limitations on part size. Our products exhibit exceptional shell-wall thickness uniformity to ensure long-term durability. We have a robust quality program to guarantee that products comply with manufacturer specifications as well as relevant industry regulations. As a reliable source for fiberglass manufacturing, we have a strong presence in the marine market as well as the automotive aftermarket, truck manufacturing, advertising, and furniture industries, among others.

Molding Processes

CMDT Manufacturing utilizes a variety of molding techniques to produce durable, high-quality fiberglass components. These processes allow for precision, strength, and design flexibility, ensuring that each product meets industry requirements.

Primary Molding Methods:

• 3D Molding – Creates complex, multi-dimensional fiberglass structures with precise detailing and durability.
• Flat Molded – Produces smooth, uniform fiberglass panels and components used in various applications.
• In-Mold Decorating and Labeling – Integrates labels, graphics, or branding directly into the molded surface for a long-lasting finish.
• Permanent Molds – Uses reusable molds to achieve consistent production and high-quality surface finishes.
• Structural Foam Molding – Produces lightweight yet strong fiberglass components by incorporating a foamed core for added durability.
• Transfer Molding – Forces resin into a pre-shaped mold, ensuring consistent material distribution and enhanced structural integrity.
• Vacuum Bag Molding – Uses vacuum pressure to consolidate and shape fiberglass layers, improving strength and reducing voids in the final product.

Each of these processes is selected based on the specific requirements of the application, ensuring the best balance of strength, weight, and cost-effectiveness. CMDT Manufacturing applies advanced molding techniques to deliver products that perform reliably in demanding environments.
