Taking us into the future, CFI houses and
utilizes state of the art injection machines-
Cannon, Admiral and NAU. Processes
include:

* RIM
* R RIM
* Elastameric
* Foam

RIM is a chemical process for molding plastics
that mixes and meters liquid raw materials and
then injects them into a mold cavity.The part
then forms in the mold cavity from which, after
a certain time, it is released. Other agents can
also be added to the mixture of liquid raw material
to provide desired properties such as added strength.

RIM equipment is modular. The dispensing
system can serve one mold or several. Cylinder
dispensing units are required to process filled
system. Additionally, the temperature, flow rates
and specific gravities of the liquid reactants can
be monitored and controlled by microprocessors.
Many factors to consider in the RIM process is
dimension, shapes and tolerances; the quality
and texture of the surface; mold life; required
mold cost; and part performance.
(We can make RIM parts up to 4' x 5' ft.)
