APPLICATIONS

From funded prototype, to repeatable production.

The process architecture changes with the mission. AddX LFAM, AFP, filament winding, molding, forming, AI-assisted path planning, process control and closed-loop quality are integrated by an industrial team into the scale-up system the product actually requires.

01 — APPLICATION

Aerospace

Fuselage panels · pressure bulkheads · keel beams · door surrounding frames · landing gear doors · wing skins, stringers and spars · nose and tail cones · engine blades · interior structures

The structures that have to be light, have to be certified, and cannot be inspected into compliance after the fact. Fiber placement puts material only where load goes, and puts it there the same way every time.

02 — APPLICATION

Hydrogen

Type-IV pressure vessel liners · storage tanks · tubes · non-circular and isogrid shapes · motor sleeves

A vessel that holds hydrogen at pressure is a fiber architecture problem before it is anything else. Winding on a robot rather than a dedicated machine means the geometry is not fixed by the machine you bought.

03 — APPLICATION

Space and launch

Launcher structures · payload adapters · propellant tanks · deployable booms · trusses · reflectors and antennas · solar panel substrates

Low volume, high consequence, and every part different from the last. The economics that justify a dedicated production line never arrive, which is exactly the gap a robot-mounted head fills.

Composite manufacturing application for Defence
04 — APPLICATION

Defence

Radar-absorbing and EMI-shielding structures · ballistic protection · missile components · reflectors and antennas

Structural performance and electromagnetic behaviour in the same laminate, which is a manufacturing problem long before it is a materials one. We are a partner in a European Defence Fund programme working on exactly this.

Composite manufacturing application for EV and automotive
05 — APPLICATION

EV and automotive

Battery enclosure systems · carbon fiber sleeves for electric motors · wheels and rims · drive shafts · structural body components

Volume changes the question. Here the argument is cycle time and material cost per part, and the answer is a head that runs fast enough to matter on a line rather than in a lab.

Composite manufacturing application for Marine
06 — APPLICATION

Marine

Hydrofoils · rudders · masts · propeller blades · hulls

Ocean racing pushes structures harder than certification does, and iterates faster than any aerospace programme. Parts change between races, so the tooling and the toolpath have to change with them.

COMPLETE SYSTEMS

Most of these arrive as a cell, not as a head in a box.

A head on its own is a component. What actually produces a part is a cell: the robot, the positioner, the material handling, the software, the process window and somebody who has built one before. AddCell is that, delivered and commissioned, specified around the part you showed us rather than around a catalogue.

DESIGNED AROUND THE PART

Reach, payload, axes and tooling chosen from your geometry, not from a standard configuration.

SIMULATED BEFORE IT IS BUILT

The full cell runs in AddPath first, so collisions and reachability are settled before steel is ordered.

INSTALLED AND HANDED OVER

Integration, installation and commissioning, with remote install where travel is the constraint.

DELIVERED WITH EVERYTHING

Head, material, spares, software, and consulting on the part and the mould.
