Fiber Patch Placement for R&D

Requirements of R&D organizations and universities differ a lot from those of manufacturing organizations. R&D needs high flexibility in product development. Our SAMBA systems feature individual robot configurations and are very flexible regarding the materials processed. They can additionally be equipped with a variety of sensors to monitor the production process.

Fiber Patch Placement represents an innovative composite production technology with increased degrees of freedom. Our production systems can complement existing R&D technology portfolios to investigate industrial applications and further advance patch-based composites manufacturing.

Our Hardware & Software

SAMBA Step fits perfectly requirements of R&D institutes due to its flexible, manual material feeding unit, that also comes at a price point favorable to according facilities.
