Quality Assurance Benefits
An equally key benefit of the OPTIMA 3D weaving system is the quality assurance and repeatability that our fully automated process confers on the engineered solutions; a level of benefit which is simply not achievable with lay-up techniques.
This is vitally important for accreditation of the manufacturing process and subsequent approval processes that are increasingly vital for industry.
These attributes are significantly important in key areas such as aeronautical and defence engineering, however emergence of 3D technology into the mainstream of engineered component production will inevitably reduce manufacturing costs whilst at the same time decreasing delivery times; this will lead to much wider use in more general industries.
