Composite Manufacturing For High-Performance Parts
Innovative Manufacturing for Complex Needs
Precision Manufacturing for Stronger, Lighter, Cost-Effective Composites
RAMPF delivers composite manufacturing for lightweight, high-strength components, from custom prototypes to high-volume industrial parts and aerospace-grade structures. Resin infusion, VARTM, Tailored Fiber Placement, precision tooling, metallization, and full subassembly are combined in one production chain, designed for tight tolerances, repeatable quality, and scalable output with minimal waste.
Every part starts with the right composite materials and a design built for production by our composites engineering team. As a leading composite parts manufacturer in North America, RAMPF Composite Solutions turns that design into finished, ready-to-install parts with quality, speed, precision, and cost savings.

Advanced Composite Manufacturing Capabilities
From resin infusion and hand lay-up to metallization, testing, and kitting, the following capabilities cover every step of our composite manufacturing under one roof:
Resin Infusion for High-Quality Composites:
Resin infusion technology, using advanced vacuum processes, enables the production of cost-effective, aerospace-grade components while eliminating autoclave requirements and minimizing material waste.
Hand Lay-Up:
A proven solution for large-scale composite structures requiring high fiber volume and complex geometries.
Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP):
TFP technology reduces waste to near zero by precisely placing fibers, maximizing strength and stiffness while minimizing weight.
Precision Tooling & Prototyping:
Custom composite tooling is designed and manufactured in-house, ensuring mold accuracy, part compatibility, and reduced lead times.
Metallization & Finishing:
Electroless nickel plating, copper metallization, and MIL-SPEC painting offer functional coatings that enhance EMI shielding, durability, and surface aesthetics.
Complete Subassembly & Kitting:
Composite assemblies are delivered with integrated hardware, wiring harnesses, and packaging, streamlining final system assembly and reducing internal labor demands.
Advanced Part & Subassembly Testing:
To ensure structural performance, all parts and subassemblies undergo leak-down testing, mechanical validation, and precision dimensional checks.
Choosing the Right Composite Manufacturing Process
The process that best fits your application depends on part size, geometry, production volume, and quality requirements. We select the method together with you, based on your load case and production goals.
Resin Infusion and VARTM
For aerospace-grade parts with high fiber content, resin infusion and vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) are our standard. Dry fabric is placed in the mold, sealed under a vacuum bag, and the resin is drawn through the laminate. Because no autoclave and no refrigerated prepreg storage are needed, parts cost up to 30 percent less than with prepreg processing.
Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP)
TFP is the choice for complex shapes and changing load directions. Continuous fibers are stitched along the calculated load paths, so reinforcement sits exactly where it is needed and waste drops to almost zero. The resulting preforms are then processed by resin infusion or VARTM.
Hand Lay-Up
Hand lay-up remains a proven method for large composite structures with high fiber volume and complex geometries, especially where quantities are low and flexibility counts.
From Prototype to Series Production
Our composite manufacturing covers the full route from the first prototype to series production and the installed assembly. Prototypes, one-off parts, and large batches run through the same production chain, so a part does not change supplier when quantities grow. Molds and tooling are designed and built in-house, which keeps lead times short and ensures that mold and part fit together. The material base comes from our own tooling materials.
After lamination and curing, parts are metallized with electroless nickel or copper and finished with MIL-SPEC paint where required. Every part and subassembly then passes leak-down testing, mechanical validation, and dimensional checks, as described under quality. On request, we deliver complete subassemblies with hardware, wiring harnesses, and custom kits, ready for installation.

FAQ
Composite manufacturing is the production of parts from reinforced fibers, such as carbon or glass fiber, and a resin matrix. The fibers are laid up in a mold, impregnated with resin, and cured. The process used determines fiber content, quality, and cost of the finished part.
VARTM stands for vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding. Dry fiber reinforcement is placed in a mold and sealed under a vacuum bag, then the vacuum draws liquid resin through the fibers. The process produces high-quality parts without an autoclave.
Resin infusion delivers aerospace-grade parts with high fiber volume but needs neither an autoclave nor refrigerated material storage. This lowers energy use and cost, with savings of up to 30 percent per part compared with prepreg.
Yes. We manufacture custom prototypes and one-off parts as well as large batches. Tooling, prototyping, and production come from one source, so a part can move into series production without a change of supplier.
