Words from our customers & partners

“Fiber Patch Placement has taken a remarkable development in the last years. It checks a lot of boxes of what our corporate research partners are looking for in current development initiatives. We will certainly see interesting use cases of FPP technology in composite aerostructures of next generation aircraft.”

Prof. Klaus Drechsler

Head of Chair of Carbon Composites, Technical University Munich

“Fiber Patch Placement technology enables the manufacturing automation for complex laminate architectures which was not possible before with any other technology. Although the patch based approach breaks with the composite design paradigm of using only continuous fiber reinforcements, the material equivalence of FPP laminates has been shown in the context of aerospace design allowables. In my view, this opens up the application scope for aerospace structural components.”

Dr. Shunichi Bando

President & CEO of B.I.TEC, co. ltd, Japan

“Cevotec’s Fiber Patch Placement system expands our existing portfolio of automated production technologies for composite aerospace parts. With the addition of the SAMBA Pro system, we can now automate manufacturing of composite parts that were geometrically too complex for automation while precisely controlling fiber orientations for optimizing part design. It is the perfect enhancement to our robotic production equipment such as AFP and ATL and it allows us to compare technologies and advise our industrial partners on the optimal lay-up strategy. With the addition of SAMBA Pro system, now we can automate manufacturing of composite part at high rates regardless of its complexity. I’m pleased about the good collaboration with Cevotec: We got a great onboarding after the commissioning in our facilities and receive remote support wherever possible.”

Dr. Waruna Seneviratne

Director, Advanced Tech. Lab for Aerospace Systems (ATLAS)

„The SAMBA Pro Prepreg system from Cevotec offers a unique and efficient automation option for complexly shaped components and tailored, load-optimized laminates. It complements our portfolio of automated placement technologies and expands our scope of research and development services at Fraunhofer IGCV. The SAMBA system at Fraunhofer IGCV is available for interested companies to explore and evaluate the feasibility of parts in FPP design, as well as develop such parts up to the transfer to serial production.”

Dr.-Ing. Renato Bezerra

Research associate & project lead

“Fiber Patch Placement represents an innovative composite production technology with an impressive automation capability to produce composites. As founder of Cevotec and responsible of the software development at that time, our mission was to equip this technology with a powerful engineering software. Nowadays, Artist Studio as a standalone engineering software is a key element to exploit the full potential of the technology and it belongs like the air to breathe. At Augsburg University of Applied Science, FPP is one of our technological backbone of our research focusing on simulation- and data-driven development in patch-based composites such as AI-development, modeling and placement strategy development”

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Neven Majic

Professor for Design with Composites and Strength in Lightweight Design at Augsburg University of Applied Science

“Cevotec has developed a very impressive technology for automated composites processing. We’ve immediately seen the enormous potential for the industry and are looking forward to their future innovations.”

Words from our distribution partners

“Cevotec’s Fiber Patch Placement is one of the most disruptive manufacturing technologies to surface in the composites manufacturing space in a generation. It will have the same impact that laser projection, cutting tables and AFP/ATL machines have had. The key difference is that it has the potential to replace significant numbers of applications that those technologies are being used in. Added to that is the inherent ability to support digital twin, 100% inspection and full traceability and it becomes clear that Cevotec’s FPP checks off all of the boxes for what a modern composites manufacturing system should deliver.”

John Mellili

President & CEO of Composite Automation

“Fiber Patch Placement technology has the potential to revolutionize the composites industry and immediately caught our attention. We are glad to have partnered up with a dynamic technology leader as Cevotec. Their unique Fiber Patch Placement systems are bringing new automation options to Japanese industrials. In particular Cevotec’s approach to optimize the design of hydrogen pressure vessels is getting a lot of attention from our customers.”
