这篇技术论文描述了什么是树脂传递模塑（RTM），它的优点和应用。讨论了选择RTM的原因。这些包括:最低的材料成本、低的资本设备成本、复杂配置的单一固化、自动化的高潜力和无限的速率潜力。还包括RTM与铝和PRE-PREG结构的比较。RTM工艺选择注意事项的讨论，以及何时应选择RTM。此外，还讨论了设计师在RTM领域中的作用，以及对自动化成就的描述。这些主题提供了对RTM及其在航空航天工业中应用的基本理解。

THIS TECHNICAL PAPER DESCRIBES WHAT RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING (RTM) IS, ITS ADVANTAGES AND APPLICATIONS. REASONS WHY RTM SHOULD BE CHOSEN ARE DISCUSSED. THESE INCLUDE: LOWEST MATERIAL COST, LOW CAPITAL EQUIPMENT COST, SINGLE CURE OF COMPLEX CONFIGURATIONS, HIGH POTENTIAL FOR AUTOMATION, AND UNLIMITED RATE POTENTIAL. A COMPARISON OF RTM WITH RESPECT TO ALUMINUM AND PRE-PREG STRUCTURES ALSO IS INCLUDED. A DISCUSSION OF RTM PROCESS SELECTION CONSIDERATIONS AND WHEN RTM SHOULD BE CHOSEN. AND, THE ROLE OF DESIGNER IN THE RTM ARENA IS DISCUSSED AS IS A DESCRIPTION OF AUTOMATION ACCOMPLISHMENTS. THESE TOPICS PROVIDE A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF RTM AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY.
