Vacuum Infusion for Production Fiberglass Parts: Setup, Process, and Common Mistakes

Vacuum infusion is one of the cleanest, most consistent methods for producing structural fiberglass parts at volume but the setup details determine whether you get a perfect laminate or a scrapped part. This video walks through a complete infusion on a production part, including bagging setup, resin feed and vent placement, timing, and the quality checks we use to verify a good fill. We also cover the most common vacuum infusion failures we've seen in the field and how to design your process to avoid them.
