Our mission at iCOMAT is to produce the lightest structures possible and do so at hyper scale and low-cost using composite materials
Weight is critical for anything that flies, whether this is a missile or a fighter aircraft, because it directly affects the payload and fuel burn – the critical operational capabilities of these vehicles.
Even small reductions in mass can drastically improve capabilities such as as range.
This is why the aerospace industry has been constantly replacing metals with carbon fiber, but we have now reached the limit with all new products almost exclusively made out of carbon.But production with carbon fiber is notoriously difficult and expensive, limiting the production capacity.
The technology we have developed at iCOMAT can eliminate these weight and production barriers and is applicable the entire structural stack across the civil and defence aerospace industries, from fighter aircraft wings, to missile bodies and the fuselage of commercial aircraft, we can deliver hands down the lightest vehicles possible, at scale and low cost.
At iCOMAT we have developed the world’s first machine and technology that can fiber steer without any defects at all. Another advantage is that our system is compatible with wide tapes, which means that we can achieve high deposition rates and a very productive system.
We have turned our technology into a fully automated factory – on the hardware side, the front end we have our proprietary tape laying system, we make this in-house and on the back end off-the-shelf presses and curing ovens.
We have also developed a digital backbone that runs throughout the process, from initial design all the way to manufacturing instructions and the programming of the machines. This drastically reduces the need for specialized workforce and means we get these factories up an running very fast and anywhere in the world.
