We can support you in the entire development chain for low-weight space structures, from concept to validation. This involves carbon fibre composite technology (thermoset and thermoplastic materials) and metal additive manufacturing (3D printing).
- Design concepts in composite
- Detailed Finite Element Method (FEM) calculations for composite designs
- Composite structure manufacturing
- Mould design and manufacturing
- Automated Fibre Placement
- Resin Transfer Moulding
- Advanced CFD and CAA (Computational AeroAcoustics) calculations
- A wide variety of Environmental testing facilities for mechanical, climatic, electric, radiation and acoustics testing
- Capabilities for the integration of functions in structures such as thermal functions or antenna’s
- Cpabilities for smart structures development
- Capabilities for Improved Fracture Mechanics & Fatigue Crack Growth
- Capabilities for design and manufacture of launcher wind tunnel models
