A strong year-end for RAMPF Composite Solutions: With appearances at the trade fairs DAIR to Innovate in Toronto, Canada, and CADC in Connecticut, USA, the company presents its customized composite full-service solution for applications in aviation, aerospace, and the defense industry.
Key statements
- RAMPF Composite Solutions shortens time to market and increases cost efficiency in the manufacture of complex composite components for the aviation, aerospace, and defense industries.
- Innovative resin infusion technology reduces production costs by up to 30 percent compared with conventional prepreg processes.
- Vertical integration of the entire production process optimizes workflows, shortens lead times, ensures the highest quality controls, and avoids outsourcing-related delays.
RAMPF Composite Solutions develops and manufactures some of the world’s most complex composite components. The full potential of composites technology is exploited both in the early development phase and in small-batch as well as series production:
• Cost-efficient tools and fixtures with excellent mechanical performance for high-quality manufacturing at significantly reduced costs.
• High-performance structural resins for fast, reliable infusion processes to increase throughput and process reliability.
• Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) for structurally optimized components – precisely manufactured at maximum speed.
• VARTM technology for the economical production of high-performance composite components – efficient and material-saving.
RAMPF’s innovative full-service solution includes material qualification, integrated quality assurance, and automated processes for the manufacture of components and subsystems. Prototypes are delivered just a few weeks after the design phase – with cost savings of up to 30 percent compared with conventional prepreg processes.
The advantages of this approach are particularly evident in components with complex geometries (for example, undercuts and curvatures) and demanding functions such as EMI shielding, electrostatic discharge, and flame and impact protection. From the initial concept to the finished component, experienced engineers are involved in every step – ensuring technical excellence, compliance with safety standards, and fulfillment of all qualification requirements.
Larry Fitzgerald, CEO of RAMPF Composite Solutions: “Speed is critical in the aerospace and defense industries. With our advanced composite approach and efficient workflows, we shorten the path from design to prototype – without compromising on quality or performance. Our engineering expertise in repair, maintenance, and obsolescence management also extends aircraft service life and ensures reliable operation. We look forward to presenting our solutions at DAIR to Innovate and CADC and, together with industry leaders, providing new impulses for innovation in lightweight composite construction.”
