Applications
Vacuum Resin Infusion
Applications
- Large marine structures such as hulls, decks, and bulkheads
- Structural panels for defence and transport sectors
- High-strength, lightweight tooling and moulds
Why We Use it
Produces consistent fibre ratios, strong consolidation, and excellent surface finish with minimal resin waste. Ideal for one-off and low-volume production where precision and structural integrity are critical.
Pre-Preg Lamination
Applications
- Aerospace-grade components
- Defence systems, UAV shells, and precision housings
- High-performance marine parts and carbon tooling
Why We Use it
Pre-impregnated fibre ensures optimal resin content and fibre alignment. Combined with autoclave or oven curing, it achieves superior strength-to-weight and dimensional accuracy.
Silicone Bagging
Applications
- Repetitive production runs (panels, fairings, components)
- Defence and marine structures requiring consistent quality
- Medium-volume manufacturing where disposable bagging is inefficient
Why We Use it
Silicone membranes provide a reusable, dimensionally stable seal for vacuum processing. Reduces consumable waste and ensures repeatable consolidation across multiple cycles, ideal for sustainability and cost efficiency.
Vacuum Bagging / Wet Lamination
Applications
- Prototype builds and development parts
- Repairs, bonding, and secondary laminations
- Non-critical structures and tooling
Why We Use it
Provides flexibility and rapid turnaround. Ideal for proof-of-concept parts or when iterative development is required before committing to full infusion or pre-preg tooling.
Resin Transfer Moulding
Applications
- Precision composite shells, casings, and covers
- Repeatable parts for marine, transport, and defence
- Two-sided Class-A finish components
Why We Use it
Enables closed-mould injection with minimal finishing. Excellent for medium-run production where repeatability and finish quality are priorities.
CNC Machining & Composites Trimming
Applications
- Plug and mould manufacture
- Precision trimming of infused or cured components
- Machining of high-density cores, tooling boards, and inserts
Why We Use it
Integrates CAD/CAM workflow directly into production. Ensures accuracy, clean fitment, and perfect symmetry for high-tolerance assemblies.
Rapid Prototyping / Additive Integration
Applications
- Defence and aerospace components requiring internal complexity
- Hybrid carbon parts with printed inserts or mandrels
- Proof-of-concept and form validation
Why We Use it
3D printing enables us to produce accurate internal geometries and test fitment before committing to full-scale manufacture. Shortens R&D cycles and supports rapid iteration.
Composite Tooling & Post-Cure Finishing
Applications
- Carbon and epoxy tooling for high-temperature curing
- Production of precise moulds and jigs
- Post-cure dimensional stabilisation of composite structures
Why We Use it
Ensures that moulds and components maintain accuracy under load and temperature, guaranteeing consistent repeat builds.
