Transforming decades of design and RTM production reliability into more sustainable, next-generation composite propellers.

Composites supply chain and production disruptions – how can AI and digitalization help?

Digitizing and creating the factory of the future is a journey, but it has the potential to help composites manufacturers address real-life disruptions and enable fast replanning of production operations for increased flexibility and enterprise-level performance.

Plant tour: Qarbon Aerospace, Milledgeville, Ga. and Red Oak, Texas

Veteran aerostructures Tier 1 transforms into 21st century leader in thermoplastic composites and multiple new markets.

Virtek partners with Measurement Solutions Ltd.

The partnership will offer increased product diversity to MSL’s U.K. manufacturing customers and increase adoption of the Virtek Iris 3D system.

Virtek presents Iris ActiveTrack laser positioning software

Real-time tracking software enables technicians to continuously project stable, accurate laser lines onto moving parts.

Hot drape forming

Heat, vacuum and/or pressure advance from debulking prepreg layups to automated preforming of dry reinforcements for faster composites production.

How Digital Cutting Technology Reduces Costs and Improves Flexibility

Automated cutting of composites reinforcement and other technical textiles is faster, more accurate and can result in dramatic reductions in material waste and labor. Having the right software is the key to getting the best results.

Digital thread vs. digital twin

Visualizing the difference between digital representations and data flows and understanding the applications that are changing composites manufacturing and business models.
