Transfer traditional composite manufacturing to Airborne

Airborne’s proposition is the following: You, our client, partner with Airborne in order to benefit from our automation development. A suitable programme is selected.

Airborne transfers your composite production to the Airborne facility.

Airborne automates the process

Initially we will use traditional, manual methods for composite production. During this phase, our engineers closely analyse the manufacturing process in order to identify the steps which are critical to quality.

Based upon this knowledge, automated composite manufacturing lines will be developed and qualified.

Select future manufacturing location

After successful qualification, the initial composite production will be taken over by the automated composite production line. After an agreed period, the choice is yours:

• Airborne continues to manufacture composite parts in our own facility
• Airborne installs a composite production line in your facility
• Airborne installs a composite production line at a supplier of your choice

As the demand for industrialisation of composite production of small ‘table-sized’ parts is growing exponentially, Airborne brings the composites industry to the next level applying digital manufacturing. Through a digital platform we connect predictive material engineering, product engineering, process engineering, dynamic machine programming and quality assurance. To shape the new composites future Airborne has opened its Digital Factory Composites Field Lab in 2015 with partners Siemens and Kuka.
