Design Guide 1 ‘SMC AT ITS BEST: DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE’
The European Alliance for SMC BMC is launching a series of design guides that explain to designers how these versatile materials can be used, and manufactured in larger production series.
SMC and BMC are composite materials ideal for making large, light, and intricate parts that combine structural performance with a smooth surface finish. For that reason, SMC and BMC are increasingly used in a broad range of end-use applications and markets. The European Alliance for SMC BMC is launching a series of design guides that explain to designers how these versatile materials can be used, and manufactured in larger production series.
The European Alliance for SMC BMC is launching the 5th edition of the SMC BMC Design Award. This international Design Competition is recognizing and promoting design excellence in using SMC and BMC advanced materials. The theme of this edition is “Live Better, Live Green” – SMC solutions for improving Quality of Life. The award ceremony will be take place at JEC World 2026 in Paris.
