Background on

SMC BMC Design Award 2017 SM

pean A

Parts made in SMC and BMC

are everywhere

pean A

Why use SMC and BMC?

• Flexibility to shape and create unique designs

• Providing great strength, stiffness, mechanical

integrity, better than what is possible with

thermoplastics

• Resisting heat (insulating, dimensionally stable)

• Light weight compared to steel, aluminum, stone

• In many cases cost-effective for medium to large

production series (5,000-200,000 parts per year)

pean A

What are SMC and BMC?

Sheet Moulding Compound

Sheets consisting of uncured resin,

reinforced with glass fibers

Bulk Moulding Compound

Bulk mixture of uncured

resin, reinforced with glass fibres

• Mixtures of resin, fillers and reinforcement

• Processed in heated mould to form a cured component

Design Mould SMC sheets or

BMC compound Press

Operator or robots

for handling parts Assembly Painting Logistics

Expectations for Participants of the

SMC BMC Design Award

• Define full list of functional requirements,

that you use as starting point

• Translate to part design

• Explain the benefits of your design

• Demonstrate manufacturing-ability

• Optional: structural analysis, costing

pean A

This year’s theme of the

SMC BMC Award is

“Interiors”

•Furniture

•Lighting

pean A

What do we ask you to deliver?

• Power Point Presentation to explain your

proposed design

• Requirements, key choices made, benefits offered,

manufacturing capability, commercial viability

• Demonstrate that you meet the design criteria

• In English language only

• If possible, send us a prototype of your design

• One page word document accompanying the

prototype

• One high resolution picture of your design

(300 dpi min)

Training sessions available for you (at our premises or at your place depending on nr. of participants)

• Examples of part designs in SMC and BMC

• Some of the design details important for these

materials (“do’s and don’ts”)

• Typical requirements and end-customer

expectations

• Overview of the design process: how does it

work in real life?

• Simple costing model

• Manufacturing and scale-up considerations
