Composite parts made under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system, from the tooling to the finished component.
Where carbon compositesearned their reputation.
Interior parts, fairings, panels, ducting and brackets. Made to your drawing and specification, or reverse engineered from an existing part.
Aerospace is where carbon composites earned their reputation. Low weight, high stiffness and good resistance to fatigue are hard to match in metal, and a laminate can be tailored to the load path in a way a machined part cannot.
Two pieces of equipment on site are worth knowing about here: a Creaform HandySCAN 3D for measuring existing parts, and a Stratasys Fortus 450mc for printed prototypes, fixtures and parts.
Panels, trims and housings for cabins and cockpits.
Aerodynamic surfaces and air paths, where the shape and the surface finish both matter.
Small, load-bearing parts, where the weight saved is repeated on every aircraft.
Printed or laid up to check fit and function before a design is committed to tooling.
Creaform and Stratasys publish the following for the two instruments.
These are the manufacturers' published figures for the instruments, not tolerances on finished parts. The scanner is verified against VDI/VDE 2634 part 3 in an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. Which print material is used depends on the part and on what we hold in stock, and the tolerance achievable on a carbon component depends on its size, geometry and tooling. Tell us about the part and we will tell you what is realistic for it.
Send the drawing and the specification. Or the existing part, if there is no drawing. Either is enough for us to tell you how it would be made.

Yes, to ISO 9001:2015. More on quality.
The Fortus 450mc runs ULTEM 9085, a material rated for flame, smoke and toxicity and used for aircraft interior parts. Whether we have it in stock for your job is worth confirming when you enquire.
Yes, and before you send us anything if you prefer.
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.
