CDCQ has acquired the Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) robotic cell developed by Effman with the help of the FANUC robot and AFP head from Addcomposites.

Addcomposites was born from a simple, but tricky question: what if advanced satellite structures could be manufactured in every manufacturing facility around the world?

Addcomposites has completed remote installation of AFP-XS for Regional Institute of Advanced Materials (IRMA) in France.

New AFP-XS turns any robotic arm into an automated composites manufacturing system.

Startup that began as a student project aims for the international market.

UT Austin has augmented the AFP-XS with a high-powered laser, another first for Addcomposites, to achieve the high melt temperatures that thermoplastics require.

Aim is affordable, enclosed, composites manufacturing cells for many different processes (AFP, grinding, polishing, etc.) in North American market. 

Despite COVID-19 travel restrictions, Addcomposites completed the installation of its AFP system (AFP-XS) to IRMA in Ploemeur, FR. 

Addcomposites is democratizing composites manufacturing by leasing a low-cost toolhead that turns any robot into an automated fiber placement machine.

Addcomposites' recent installation at Compositadour enables local SME's to experiment with thermoplastic composites at a low cost.

Addcomposites, developers of the AFP-XS, announces partnership with Effman, an engineering firm specializing in solutions for automating composites manufacturing

Addcomposites completes installations of its AFP-XS toolhead at KUKA Finland and SAM|XL in the Netherlands. 

The robot spreads carbon fiber directly into the mold, reducing manual labor during the layup process.
