Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing technician who combines glass fibers and resin to mold and process FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic) products.
Description
Glass fiber workers mix glass fiber mats or rovings with resin, laminate them in molds, and mold and cure FRP products. The processes include cutting, resin impregnation, lamination, bubble removal by rolling, curing, and post-processing (polishing and trimming). To ensure product strength and dimensional accuracy, appropriate mixing ratios, lamination order, and curing conditions must be managed. The work is primarily on production lines and may also include quality inspections and equipment maintenance.
Future Outlook
Demand for FRP remains steady in various fields such as automobiles and construction. On the other hand, as production automation and robot introduction progress, acquiring technology for efficiency improvement and labor reduction is important.
