Sustainable composite manufacturing - material & design
Do you want to develop composite products? Maybe in the hope of finding new business opportunities and strengthening your competitiveness? Or optimize your current production? If you hesitate due to high development costs and risk, we are here to help you take the next step - from idea to finished product.
IDEA | MATERIAL | PROCESS | TESTING | CONTACT
In the innovation process for composites, the product specification, material selection, geometry and manufacturing method are closely linked. The core of composite development, however, is the material, which determines possibilities or limitations.
We work with both existing material blends and with helping you to develop your own materials, that can then be adapted to a certain process.
Are composites new to you?
We help you determine if composites are an option for your application. Common customer questions that we help to provide answers to:
- We want to use a new raw material / new material / combination of materials (fiber / matrix) - how are the properties affected compared to our original material?
- We want to develop a component that meets new customer requirements. What paths can we take to produce a sustainable component and manufacturing process?
- We want to reduce our climate footprint and wonder if composite manufacturing is an energy-efficient process?
- What does the recyclability of composites look like?
- Can you help us to conduct a life cycle analysis?
Are you already a composite manufacturer?
- Are there more / other applications for materials with our character?
- Can we enter new segments or industries?
- What can our current material handle when it comes to strength, moisture sensitivity, chemical resistance, chemical content and temperature dependence?
- We already have a material, what should the tool look like to manufacture our component? Can you help us design it?
Your ideas are safe with us
We protect your ideas by signing an NDA and you will own the IPR at the end of an assignment. We are a neutral collaboration partner where you can safely develop composite solutions together with your customers, material suppliers, financiers and research actors.
Tailored support or single services
We help both startups, small and medium-sized suppliers, and OEM manufacturers in several application areas - from airplanes, vehicles and boats to wind turbines and sports equipment.
We provide single-point services such as material development for fiber composites, dimensioning of fiber composites, material characterization, dynamic strain analysis, simulation (strength, fatigue, shape stability), LCA / LCC analysis and eco-design as well as digitization support.
We also offer more long-term, tailor-made composite development support solutions. Contact us for a free needs analysis.
