Fast, Cost‑Efficient Production of Advanced Composite Parts for Vertical Aviation

Key Takeaways

1. Advanced composite components in the vertical aviation industry are developed and manufactured faster and more cost efficiently with high?performance tooling materials and holistic engineering solutions from RAMPF.
2. Engineered, holistic quick?turn solutions combine material qualification, integrated quality assurance, and automated manufacturing to deliver component and subsystem prototypes within weeks and at significantly lower costs.
3. High-performance tooling boards, Close Contour Castings, and liquid resin systems with outstanding mechanical and chemical properties are used to manufacture lightweight, high?strength, and high-quality composite parts.

The RAMPF Group is showcasing high?performance tooling materials and one?stop engineering solutions for the fast, cost?efficient development and manufacture of advanced composite parts in the vertical aviation industry at Verticon in Atlanta, GA, from March 10 to 12 – Booth B5626.

Engineered Composite Manufacturing
RAMPF Composite Solutions, Inc., headquartered in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, is a leading expert in the manufacture of carbon fiber and fiberglass composite parts. The company optimizes composite manufacturing through advanced processes that deliver lightweight, high-strength components while minimizing waste and reducing cost.

The comprehensive portfolio of composite manufacturing services includes:

• VARTM (Vacuum-Assisted Resin Transfer Molding)
• Resin Infusion
• Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP)
• Precision Tooling
• Metallization
• Full Subassembly

Each process is engineered for tight tolerances, repeatable quality, and scalable production – supporting composite manufacturers in maintaining a competitive edge across diverse industries. Prototypes are manufactured within weeks of the design stage and with up to 30 percent cost savings over traditional prepreg solutions.

From aerospace-grade composites to high-volume industrial parts and custom prototypes, RAMPF Composite Solutions stands as a trusted composite parts manufacturer – delivering quality, speed, precision, and cost savings.

Tooling boards, Close Contour Castings, and liquid resin systems
High-end tooling boards, Close Contour Castings, and liquid resin systems with outstanding mechanical and chemical properties by RAMPF Group, Inc., based in Wixom, MI, USA, are used to produce light-weight, high?strength, and high-quality composite parts.

• RAKU^® TOOL epoxy tooling boards offer outstanding mechanical properties, ultra?fine surface structures, and high dimensional stability. They machine quickly and easily and are fully compatible with all industry?standard prepregs, release agents, and paints.
• RAKU^® TOOL Close Contour Castings made from polyurethane are supplied as ready?to?machine, monolithic castings – free of bonding lines and delivered in near?net shape, which significantly reduces machining time and material waste.
• RAKU^® structural resins facilitate low?temperature processing without the need for expensive equipment. These scalable materials shorten prototyping lead times and reduce costs while meeting FST standards such as FAR 23.1193, 25.853, and 25.855.
