What does BRI mean in MANUFACTURING

BRI stands for Bulk Resin Infused, a process used in manufacturing composite materials.

In BRI, the resin is infused between the layers of fibres to form a strong, lightweight and durable material. The resin-soaked fibers provide strength and flexibility while providing a high-temperature resistance.

The main benefit of using BRI is that it allows for lighter weight composite materials with increased strength and durability. It also provides better environmental protection by reducing the amount of volatile organic compounds released during production.

While initial costs can be high due to equipment and molding requirements, over time these costs can be minimized as advantages such as reduced energy consumption are gained with repeated use of BRI processes.

Yes, it can produce complex shapes including those with curvatures or angles which cannot be accomplished with rigid moulds alone. This makes it suitable for applications such as aerospace components where light weight and high precision are necessary.
