The future of composite manufacturing

Forget everything you thought you knew about advanced composite manufacturing. Cost-effective, scalable composites are here.

Using thermoplastic, we can braid components quickly and at scale, with costs equivalent to more traditional materials. It’s all down to our award-winning technology, which automates the composite manufacturing process. This enables us to reduce labour costs by up to 90% and waste by 97%.

Lightweight, sustainable, high-performance components

We can manufacture lightweight, high-performance components with great environmental credentials, for a range of sectors, including automotive, rail, sports equipment, maritime, and civils. We’ll tune our materials to meet your requirements for shape, weight, strength, stiffness, toughness, electrical insulation/conductivity, antimicrobial performance and more. If you don’t need us to manufacture your products, we also offer other services, such as license and collaboration.

Lightweight and strong

Benefits

We design and make components that are as strong as steel and 70% lighter. Our process involves braiding a thermoplastic matrix with materials like carbon fibre, glass fibre and basalt for superior performance.

Sustainable

Benefits

Our thermoplastic materials are inherently recyclable, our processes are energy efficient and cut waste by up to 97%, plus our products are lightweight. This leads to de-carbonisation throughout the product lifecycle.

Cost effective & scalable

Benefits

We can produce up to 100,000 parts each year at a cost similar to traditional manufacturing. How? With an automated process that cuts labour by up to 90%.
