Your Advantages with Fiber Patch Placement (FPP)

Discover how Fiber Patch Placement improves your composite production.

Flexible and efficient automation based on defined fiber patches

Fiber Patch Placement (FPP) combines innovation, productivity, and flexibility in composite automation. The technology enables efficient production even at low volumes through flexible and scalable automation.

Adapted to the size and complexity of the component, Fiber Patch Placement works additively in “sensible increments”, known as fiber patches. This patch-based approach allows precise control over material placement and process execution.

Fiber Patch Placement – Innovation in composite automation

Automation for complex geometries and lightweight structures

By working in sensible increments (fiber patches), Fiber Patch Placement enables automation for complex 3D shapes, multi-material laminates, and locally reinforced areas. This results in efficient lightweight solutions with a significantly improved buy-to-fly ratio.

The controlled, patch-based process also leads to low process-related material scrap, contributing to both cost efficiency and sustainable composite manufacturing.
