Composites
The Adaptive Mould for Composites enables manufacturing companies to produce low-repetition curved composite panels faster, affordably and more sustainably than alternative techniques.
There is a rise in demand for composite materials across industries such as construction, aerospace, automotive, marine, wind energy and more.
Composites typically holds a higher strength to weight ratio than traditional materials. In addition to this, composites offer other advantages including flexibility, durability, resistance to corrosion, easy maintenance, and it is freely bondable with non-composite materials as well.
Every industry has their own set of use cases for using different types of fibers in their composite mix, including glass and carbon. However, one challenge that cuts across all these industries and materials, is the lack of technological innovations that can help curve the composite panels.
Adapa cooperate with experts from the field of composites, to help them shape their composite material for unique curved applications.
