- Composite Tooling: Reduce tooling costs, machining time, and material waste with board materials, Close Contour Castings, Close Contour Pastes, and liquid resin systems.
- Composite Engineering – Eliminate interfaces, reduce risk, and bring products to market faster with a single partner for design, engineering, and manufacturing.
RAMPF help customers bring advanced composite products to market faster and more cost-effectively by combining industry-leading tooling solutions with end-to-end composite engineering and manufacturing expertise.
From design to production, this integrated approach shortens development cycles, reduces costs and risk, and accelerates commercialization.
The result: accelerated innovation, improved manufacturing efficiency, and consistently high-quality composite parts across aerospace and defense, mobility, marine, consumer products, and medical technology markets.
Composite Tooling
RAMPF’s polyurethane (RAKU® PUR) and epoxy (RAKU® POX) tooling materials enable composite manufacturers to shorten lead times, reduce costs, and improve manufacturing efficiency across every stage of production – from prototypes and patterns to molds, tools, and finished parts. The portfolio includes:
- Polyurethane and epoxy tooling boards with excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and high-quality surface finishes. Easy machining and compatibility with standard prepregs, release agents, and paints simplify production.
- Close Contour materials available as CNC- or manually applied epoxy pastes, semi-finished polyurethane castings, and customized polyurethane and epoxy blocks for near-net-shape manufacturing and less milling.
- Liquid polyurethane and epoxy systems for gelcoating, laminating, casting, and infusion applications, including aerospace-grade formulations with FST properties for demanding composite environments.
Customer Benefits
- Faster machining and shorter lead times
- Lower material consumption and reduced waste
- High dimensional accuracy and repeatability
- Excellent surface quality with minimal finishing effort
- Reliable, consistent performance in demanding composite applications
Composite Engineering
RAMPF provides a one-stop solution for the design, engineering, and manufacture of complex composite structures, combining advanced capabilities such as:
- VARTM (Vacuum-Assisted Resin Transfer Molding)
- Resin infusion
- Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP)
- Precision tooling
- Metallization
- Complete subassembly integration
This integrated approach ensures tight tolerances, repeatable quality, and scalable production, helping manufacturers accelerate development, reduce complexity, and maintain a competitive edge.
Customer Benefits
- Faster time-to-market
- Reduced development complexity through a single-source partner
- Lower overall manufacturing costs
- Optimized component weight and performance
- Seamless transition from prototype to series production
Manufacturers are looking for practical ways to bring composite products to market faster while controlling costs and maintaining quality. At RAMPF, we deliver exactly that through a unique combination of tooling materials, engineering expertise, and manufacturing know-how. By collaborating with a single partner, customers reduce complexity, eliminate interfaces, and move from prototype to production more efficiently. Our team looks forward to welcoming composite manufacturers and engineers to CAMX and discussing how we can help them bring innovative products to market faster, more efficiently, and at lower cost.
