Composite Manufacturing: RAMPF Speeds Up Operations and Reduces Costs

Faster to market, more efficient in production, uncompromising quality: RAMPF Composite Solutions is presenting its one-stop solution for technologically advanced composite manufacturing in the aerospace and defense industries at Paris Air Show, June 16 to 22 – Hall 3 / Booth D98.

Key Takeaways

1. RAMPF Composite Solutions accelerates time-to-market and enhances cost-efficiency in complex composite manufacturing.
2. The company’s groundbreaking resin infusion technology reduces production costs by up to 30 percent compared to traditional prepreg methods.
3. RAMPF’s fully integrated, 74,000-square-foot facility streamlines every stage of the composite manufacturing process.

Premium Quality – Delivered Quickly and Cost-Efficiently

RAMPF Composite Solutions delivers some of the industry’s most sophisticated lightweight composite parts – rapidly and economically:

• Low-cost tooling and fixtures with outstanding mechanical properties
• High-performance structural resins for effective and fast infusion
• Structural optimization via Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) technology for maximum speed and accuracy
• Low-cost component production using Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM)

The company’s quick-turn workflow weaves in material qualification, built-in quality assurance, and digitalized manufacturing, enabling prototype delivery just weeks after the design stage – saving up to 30 percent versus prepreg routes.

Parts with extreme geometry or multifunctional demands (undercuts, compound curves, EMI shielding, static dissipation, impact or flame resistance) see the greatest gains in time, cost, and performance.
