Advanced Composites
Design and manufacturing innovations aimed at cost-competitive solutions for challenging new applications
Comtek designs and manufactures composite components using advanced technologies that support industry demands for improved performance at better costs. Our track record shows proven success taking projects to completion, with in-house resources supporting each stage of design, development, qualification, manufacturing, integration and after sales support.
Requirements Focused Soutions
We develop out-of-autoclave solutions that are specifically matched to customer requirements:
- high rate production by reducing cure cycles
- extreme temperature and fireproof applications
- improved erosion performance
- lighter weight and lower cost materials
Knowledgeable Expertise
Through close relationships with raw materials suppliers and ongoing research by our R&D materials team, we have extensive materials knowledge that we harness to overcome complex issues. Composite assemblies with challenging operational environments, for example, require unique solutions. These conditions can cause constraints with economic viability, limiting the advancement of composite applications. Comtek employs a range of proprietary processes that enables a wider variety of processes, part complexity and production volumes to be produced cost effectively. We can specify materials and designs for harsh operating environments where conditions like continuous heat and abrasion have traditionally limited available material options to metals. With our experience, we can quickly tailor processes to produce optimized parts using the right materials.
Agile and Collaborative
We work collaboratively with our customers to overcome complex design challenges by harnessing our advanced out-of-autoclave technologies that allow for rapid production at dramatically lower costs than autoclave produced parts. We are an agile partner, collaborating fully with our customers through design iterations and tailoring solutions in real time for the best possible commercial and technical outcomes. For customers requiring a more turnkey approach, we can take projects through to completion independently when provided with scope and design parameters.
Wide Ranging Applications
Whether the program is a new build or an aircraft conversion, high volume or low volume niche production, Comtek can support with design-build expertise at any stage of the aircraft lifecycle. Typical components include:
- Aero-Engine Components
- Fairings
- Radomes
- Ducts
- Camera Pods
