Prepreg Preform

Prepreg Preform

Preform with customized lay-up and shape

Driven by the need to stack very thin plies to large thickness, NTPT’s specialised in crafting multilayers stack using Automated Tape Laydown (ATL). Tailored to customer designs, the approach integrates unidirectional (UD) materials stacked with different angles, enabling an unlimited combination of layers and material types. This innovative strategy ensures that each composite structure becomes a unique reflection of the clients’ vision, blending limitless possibilities with precision engineering.

NTPT's kitting assets

At NTPT, kitting entails the meticulous preparation of customized component sets for composite manufacturing. This process optimizes efficiency, reduces waste, and ensures accuracy in producing composite structures. The delivery of ready-to-use kits streamlines workflows, enhances customization, and optimizes material usage for diverse design needs.

Bi-axial approach : optimized strength and performance

Designing components with bi-axial carbon fiber layers optimizes strength in two primary directions, enhancing load-bearing capabilities without compromising weight. For high-curvature parts, the biaxial approach proved already its enhanced capacity to adapt to shapes when compared to more complex multilayers stack.

Multiaxial layers

Stacking unidirectional prepreg, especially thin ply, requires good accuracy, well trained work force, and can be labor intensive depending on the part thickness. NTPT can streamline your manufacturing operations by offering Preforms ready to use. Our unique automated tape laying (ATL) technology enables us to propose biaxial and multiaxial prepreg preform with customized fiber orientation and with constant quality.

Ready to mold

Prepreg preform can be delivered rolled in a rectangular shape or cut-to-size (kit) ready to mold. Following automated, reproductible and precise deposition of the UD prepreg, we can cut the material repeatedly to your desired shape (rectangular or curved contour), letting your work force simply place it into or onto your mold. Hence, minimizing hand layup errors as well as reducing material waste.

Tailored biaxial and multiaxial preform

Multilayers stack offering enhanced customization

By closely collaborating with customers to understand their unique needs and design specifications, NTPT offers added value through its capability to deliver tailored solutions and rapid responsiveness to evolving customer requirements. The versatility to integrate various orientations and materials within a single multilayer stack offers countless options tailored to meet the requirements of each project.

In numerous applications, NTPT’s multilayers stacks demonstrate full compatibility with cores like foam or honeycombs within sandwich structures, rendering them ideal for lightweight constructions. This attribute is particularly crucial for applications prioritizing the attainment of minimal weight.
