Sure! Here's the concept of SMC in simple words:
SMC stands for Sheet Molding Compound.
It’s a special material made by mixing fibers (like glass fibers) with a thick, sticky resin (like plastic). Imagine it like a thick, flexible sheet — almost like dough — that can be easily shaped into different parts using heat and pressure.
In simple steps:
First, they make the SMC sheet by mixing fibers and resin.
Then, they put the sheet into a mold (a shaped container).
They heat and press it, and the SMC takes the shape of the mold.
After it cools down, you get a strong, lightweight, and durable part.
Where is SMC used?
Car parts (like bumpers and hoods)
Electrical panels
Water tanks
Furniture
Why use SMC?
It’s strong but light.
It doesn’t rust like metal.
It can be made into complex shapes easily.
