RAMPF Composite Solutions is showcasing cutting-edge, turnkey engineered solutions for advanced composite manufacturing in the aerospace and defense industries at Aeromart Toulouse from December 3 to 5.
Key Facts
The company’s innovative, quick-turn solutions include material qualification, integrated quality assurance, and automated processes for manufacturing components and subsystems. Prototypes are manufactured within weeks of the design stage and with up to 30 percent cost savings over more traditional prepreg solutions.
The benefits are maximized for components with high structural and geometric complexity (e.g., undercuts, compound curvatures, pockets) and functional complexity (e.g., EMI shielding, static discharge, impact resistance, flammability compliance).
State-of-the infrastructure
RAMPF Composite Solutions’ high-tech, 74,000-square-foot facility in Burlington, Ontario, is designed to optimize every stage of the composite manufacturing process. Facility features include:
