NextGen Preforms

Up to 60% Labor Savings*

ENGINEERED FOR PRODUCTION

Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) automates fiber placement to create precise, repeatable, muli-ply preforms engineered for complex geometries and optimized structural load paths.

*Savings depend on part design and manufacturing process.

Reduced Waste

PLACED WHERE IT PREFORMS

Fiber is stitched only where designed, following its geometry and load paths. Near-net-shape preforms mean less trimming and scrap, so less costly material ends up in the bin.

More Productivity

LESS STEPS. FASTER OUTPUT.

A multi-ply preform goes into the mold in one placement instead of ply by ply. Fewer layup steps free up your technicians and shorten the time from mold to finished part.

How it Works

Ready to Accelerate Your Engineer the Fiber With NextGen

Numerically controlled stitching lays continuous carbon or glass tow along your part's geometry and load paths, so a 10-ply stack goes down in a single pass.
