Key Facts
- Through advanced tooling materials and innovative engineering solutions, the RAMPF Group companies accelerate composite manufacturing while significantly reducing costs.
- RAMPF Group, Inc., based in Wixom, MI, USA, offers high-performance tooling boards, Close Contour Castings, and liquid resin systems with outstanding mechanical and chemical properties.
- RAMPF Composite Solutions based in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, designs and manufactures advanced lightweight components, maximizing the potential of composite technology from early development and low-volume production to full-scale series manufacturing.
- RAKU® TOOL tooling boards based on epoxy exhibit outstanding mechanical properties, finest surface structures, and high dimensional stability. The boards are easy and quick to machine and compatible with all industry-standard prepregs, release agents, and paints.
- RAKU® TOOL Close Contour Castings made from polyurethane are delivered as a ready-to-machine monolithic casting, free of bonding lines and in a near-net shape. This significantly reduces both milling time and material waste.
- RAKU® structural resins enable low-temperature processing without the need for expensive equipment. These scalable materials reduce prototyping lead times and costs by up to 30 percent, while meeting FST standards including FAR 23.1193, 25.853, and 25.855.
