What is filament winding?
What do we do?
Filament winding is the process of wrapping a thread of fibres mix with resin around key points to create a structure, often called a composite because of this mix of materials.
This structure has the characteristic of being more than 60% lighter but equally strong and resistant to other materials such as metals.
We added versatility, precision and our experience making custom machines and called it:

types of fibres
-
Carbon
has several advantages including high stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, high chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance and low thermal expansion.
-
basalt
Natural mineral sourced, has benefits such as good tensile strength, non-toxic, resistant to UV, impact resistant, high temperature tolerance (-260 - 700 °C) and more economic than carbon, Kevlar and glass fibres.
-
Flax
Plant based locally sourced fibre, is a sustainable alternative in composites. Is biodegradable, cost with has good mechanical properties, high specific stiffness, easy processability, and low density.
-
Glass
Glass made has comparable mechanical properties to other fibres such as polymers and carbon fibre.
