“CAC offers a great opportunity to introduce our composite 4.0 technology to the Asian market”, states Thorsten Groene, Managing Director of Cevotec GmbH. “As a truly innovative automation solution Fiber Patch Placement has the potential to revolutionize the Asian composites industry, that is still dominated by manual fiber lay-up”, Groene is convinced. Cevotec’s CAE software platform ARTIST STUDIO in combination with the flexible SAMBA Series lay-up system offer a continuous production chain from CAD to final laminate, enabling Asian manufacturers to jumpstart design and prototype production with the support of the Composite Application Center.
The ability to cover end-to-end solutions is reflected in the synergetic setup of the launch partners. That is why the Composite Application Center will closely collaborate with other international leaders in composites research, to tap into the latest technologies and to create best of industry solutions. By working closely with regional education and training centers CAC will support a sustainable talent pool and skilled workforce.
Founded at the Germany-Singapore Business Forum at Hannover Fair, the group, spearheaded by Composite Cluster Singapore, currently consists of ten companies and two research entities:
- Admiralty International Pte Ltd – Composite Manufacturing
- Cevotec GmbH – Advanced Fiber Layup Equipment & Software
- Composite Cluster Singapore Pte Ltd – Composite Engineering and Manufacturing Solutions
- Covestro AG – Materials
- Fraunhofer IGCV – Applied R&D
- Hufschmied Zerspanungssysteme GmbH – Machining Tools
- iNDTact GmbH – Sensor Systems & Data Analytics
- Plasmatreat GmbH – Plasma Equipment
- Sakura Tech (S) Pte Ltd – Plastics Manufacturing & Tooling
- Singapore Polytechnic’s School of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering – Education & Research
- Stratagem Innovation Singapore Pte Ltd – Composite Repair, Inspection and Training
- Filacon Systems by Tajima GmbH – Advanced Preforming Equipment
CAC will officially start its operation on May 1, 2018 and will ramp-up activities and capabilities throughout this year. Additional companies are also slated to join in later this year.
