The article is devoted to definition and systematization of the basic parameters of the technological process of production of precision products of complex shape of the polymer composite materials by Resin transfer molding. Resin transfer molding is currently one of the main methods to make products from polymeric composite materials, the same quality as the products obtained by the technology of autoclave curing prepregs. The relevance of the work is due to the need of adequate management, in particular the possibility of building an adaptive process control of manufacturing complex shapes of polymer composite materials by transfer molding. The paper considers the manufacturing process for shaped articles from polymer composite materials considered as a complex of physico-chemical mechanism for interaction of the components of the composite material in the scattering properties of all the constituent elements of the technological system. The parameters that define the process of manufacturing products are divided into input, output and functionality. Input parameters of the technological process of production of complex shapes, an example of antenna reflectors are divided into defining controlled and disturbing. The correlation of the input parameters of the technological process of production of antenna reflectors transfers molding method and shows the effect of input parameters on the quality of the final product. On the example of commercial epoxy resins kinds of key technology of communication parameters are defined and show how they are registered using the equipment for the study of the rheological and thermomechanical properties. The obtained information can be used in the construction of an adaptive process control precision products of complex shape of the polymer composite materials by transfer molding.
