Ideation & Consulting
Sustainable composite manufacturing
Sustainable composites - from idea to product
Do you have a project idea that you don’t know how to realize? Or are you already an established industry supplier but want to enter a new segment? Maybe you have encountered new sustainability requirements from your customers? In the test bed for sustainable composite manufacturing, we support you throughout the entire development process - from idea to production.
Your temporary R&D department
Investing in the development of a new material, product or manufacturing method can create competitive advantages but also involves taking risks, both in terms of time and money.
We offer support in developing, testing and verifying your ideas and turning them into production-ready solutions. We shorten your time-to-market by quickly scaling up and becoming your temporary R&D team, with all the expertise and equipment that you need - for as long as you need it.
Our expertise spans the entire development chain for sustainable composites - from material, manufacturing techniques and processes to testing and verification. We ensure that you have the delivery capacity that the customer requires, when it's time for scale up.
We can help you with point efforts, such as testing a new material or process, or provide tailor-made support throughout each step of the product development process.
From idea to a sustainable composite product
Our expertise covers the entire development chain for sustainable composites - from materials, manufacturing techniques and processes to testing and verification. We ensure that you have the delivery capacity that the customer requires, when it really matters.
- Ideation & Consulting: We help you understand if your ideas are viable. What problem or need do you want to solve or meet with the composite? What properties and functions should the product have? What challenges and risks can you encounter in the development process?
- Material selection & Design: In these closely welded steps in the development chain, we help you with making material and design choices adapted to conditions and requirements specifications. You can also get help with finding new applications for existing material and processes.
- Process development: we help you to predict the component’s mechanical properties before it goes into production. You are offered the opportunity for virtual manufacturing which minimizes the need for full-scale testing with a lower cost / lower risk as a result.
- Testing & Verification: we verify and test material properties, tools and tool functions. When we trim a process already at an early stage, costly changes that may otherwise occur further down the line, are minimized.
Who are our customers?
We help both startups, small and medium-sized suppliers and end manufacturers in applications ranging from airplanes, vehicles and boats to wind turbines and sports equipment.
Your ideas are safe with us. We protect your work through an NDA and at the end of an assignment, you own the IPR.
Why should I choose composites?
When can composites provide a competitive advantage? Choose composites if your customers:
Require material strength & stiffness
Composites can be both stronger and have higher stiffness than traditional materials, such as plastic or metal.
Require lower weight
Composites can be a way to reinforce weak points without requiring large volume or adding extra weight.
Require corrosion resistance
Composites are very resistant to corrosion, which makes them an ideal choice for applications where they are exposed to moisture or other corrosive substances.
Require long service life
Composites have good fatigue properties which make them extra suitable in products with requirements for long service life.
Require design and appearance
Composites can be shaped into complex shapes, which can give your customer a unique product with flexible design.
Require circularity & sustainability
Composites provide lower weight, which reduces fuel consumption and more energy-efficient production. Sustainable composites contain a higher proportion of renewable natural resource compared to traditional materials, which reduces the extraction of virgin raw material.
