Composite components where weight, stiffness and traceability all have to be right at once.
Light, stiff and traceable.All at once.
Enclosures, housings, panels, brackets and structural mouldings. Made to your drawing or specification, or reverse engineered from an existing component when the original data is not available.
Carbon suits this work because it saves weight without giving up stiffness. On equipment that is carried, mounted or flown, weight is usually the constraint everything else is designed around.
Design, tooling, manufacture and finishing all happen on one site in Cambridgeshire, under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system, so one company is accountable for the part from start to finish.
Lightweight covers for electronics and equipment, moulded to fit around what they protect.
Flat and curved panels with stiffness designed into the laminate rather than added with extra material.
Small, highly loaded parts, where the direction of the fibre does more of the work than the shape.
Components for equipment still in service long after its original supplier has gone, rebuilt from the part itself.
Where a part is reverse engineered, it is measured with a Creaform HandySCAN 3D. Creaform publish the following for the instrument.
These are Creaform's published figures for the HandySCAN 3D, verified against VDI/VDE 2634 part 3 in an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. They describe the instrument, not the finished part. The tolerance achievable on a carbon component depends on its size, geometry and tooling, so tell us about the part and we will tell you what is realistic for it.
Tell us what the part has to do. A drawing, a specification or the existing component is enough to start the conversation.

Yes, and before you send us anything if you prefer.
Yes, to ISO 9001:2015. More on quality.
A drawing, a photograph, or just a description. Whatever you have is enough to get a price, and we reply to most enquiries the same working day.
