Everything we have written down, in one place.

Buying a manufacturing process is a research project before it is a purchase. This is the material worth reading first: how the processes actually behave, what they build, and what we are still finding out.

AFP-XS placing carbon fibre onto a double-curvature aerospace mould WRITTEN

Technical blog

Process notes, material comparisons and the engineering behind the systems. Written for people who have to make the part, not for search engines.

READ THE BLOG Addcomposites equipment producing a real fuselage demonstrator WATCH

Video

Machines running. Heads laying tape, winding vessels and printing large-format structures, filmed in the application center rather than rendered.

WATCH ON YOUTUBE A real Type V hydrogen tank manufacturing run APPLIED

What the systems build

Aerospace, space, hydrogen, automotive, marine. The parts each process suits, and which system fits which job.

SEE APPLICATIONS TOSCA consortium placement and in-process sensing work RESEARCH

EU projects

Six publicly funded programmes, one we coordinate. Recyclable resins, bio-inspired structures and in-process control, all feeding back into shipped machines.

Media kit

Approved boilerplate at three lengths, company facts, downloadable logos, product descriptions and a real Application Center press-photo gallery.

Start with the engineering question

The cards above sort by what a thing is. These sort by what you are trying to settle. Each one goes straight to the published article; the line under the question is the article's own title, unedited.

Ask for something that is not written down yet

If the datasheet, dataset or case study you need is missing, ask for it by name. If you would rather hear about new engineering material as it is published, ask for that too.

Both buttons open the same enquiry dialog with the request type set to “Get a resource”. This is not a newsletter and nothing is subscribed on your behalf: you write the request, you send it, and it is routed to the person who can answer it.

Nothing here is gated behind a form. If you are evaluating a composite product or production system and the answer you need is not written down yet, ask us and we will write it.
