AEC components and products are used by aerospace and defense OEM’s, prime contractors, and tier 1 suppliers, as well as selected companies in performance driven industries.  Our products are suitable for applications that would benefit from

  • weight reductions offered by composite materials, but not achievable using traditional 2D laminated composites or metallic components

  • potential cost reductions related to using 3D weaving to produce 3D near-net-shape preforms, which can sometimes minimize the touch labor otherwise involved in the production of more complex 2D laminated composite structures

  • composite products which can be designed to support complex axial, shear, and combined loads

  • highly damage tolerant and durable composite products

 

Examples of applications that use or are implementing our products:
