Technology & Products
Key Products
Molds & Tools for RTM/SQRTM; Composite Manufacturing Equipment (Workstations/Presses, Injection Systems, Custom-made Equipment); Fiber Placement Machines (Coexpair Dynamics); Software 4.0 Suite (Floware SCADA, Maestro production data, Master multi-equipment sync, Syncflow injector sync); Engineering Services (design & analysis, material & process, training); R&D&I programs
Technological Advantage
SQRTM 4.0 process; proprietary software suite (Floware SCADA, Maestro production data, Master multi-equipment synchronization, Syncflow injector coordination); expertise in both RTM and SQRTM out-of-autoclave processes for thermoset and thermoplastic composites; AFP (Automated Fiber Placement) via Coexpair Dynamics.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Out-of-autoclave (OOA) net-shape composite manufacturing equipment that reduces energy consumption by 5-10x compared to autoclave curing while improving part quality and production throughput for aerospace-grade composites.
How They Differentiate
Exclusive European strategic partner of Radius Engineering (25% stake held by Radius), providing access to 40+ years of RTM/SQRTM IP. Combined hardware (molds, presses, injection systems) with proprietary software suite (Floware, Maestro, Master, Syncflow) for full manufacturing cell integration. EN9100 certified with in-house composite parts shop for demonstration and process development.
