General information

Company profile	Cevotec empowers manufacturers to produce complex composites in high volumes and superior quality by using Fiber Patch Placement (FPP) technology. Our robotic SAMBA systems automate the precise placement of carbon fibers, glass fibers, adhesive films, and other technical fibers on complex 3D geometries, supported by our CAD-CAM software ARTIST STUDIO. The automated, quality-controlled lay-up process enables our customers in aerospace and renewable energy to meet strict quality, cost, and sustainability goals, with up to 60% savings in production time and cost.
Products & Services	– SAMBA lay-up automation systems – CAD/CAM software ARTIST STUDIO to design the laminate and program the manufacturing process (automated offline programming) – Product & application development services including design, simulation, prototyping, small batch manufacturing
References and export activities	Installations worldwide (publicly announced): – National Composite Center, Japan – National Institute for Aviation Research, USA – Leonardo, Italy – Fraunhofer Institute IGCV, Germany – University of Augsburg, Germany Selected partners & references: Airbus, GFM, Manroland, Cikoni International sales partners: Fuji Industries Co. Ltd. (Japan), Composite Automation (USA), Chunhua Technologies (China), HACO (China)
Target group	Aerospace OEM, tier 1 & 2 involved in composites manufacturing & development; composite pressure vessel manufacturers and developers
Competitive advantages	1. Enable lay-up automation on geometries where other technologies face limitations 2. Handle a wide range of materials: carbon, glass and other technical fibers; prepreg and dry-fiber; adhesive films; honeycombs 3. Create locally optimized laminate designs with adjustable gap / overlap properties, also for pressure vessel dome reinforcements 4. Process repurposed (waste) materials from other processes as raw material
Ideal Business Partners	Departments and teams – both at manufacturers and institutes – that are responsible for – Designing and developing new composite applications in aerospace and pressure vessels – Automating existing lay-up processes – Looking for ways to increase production rates, decrease cost, or improve quality
