Composite production scale-up · Finland

From prototype
to scale-up

Turn funded hardware programmes into repeatable composite production. Our industrial team combines AI-assisted path planning, process control and closed-loop quality with AFP, winding, AddX LFAM, forming and inspection.High-volume production of advanced composites—from design consultancy and pilot production to plug-and-place hardware on site and aerospace-grade scale-up, with embodied robotics and AI-assisted process and quality control.

Prototype-to-production architecture

One platform
Every process to scale the part

Addcomposites is the industrial partner that configures the complete production system—not a loose collection of end effectors. AI-assisted software, robots, tooling, material flow and quality control work as one architecture from first article to repeatable production.

Design the structure
Industrialize the system

Composite production is not a handoff between disconnected tools. Geometry, laminate definition, structural analysis, process planning, cell simulation and inspection form one repeating engineering loop.
