Multiple partners work to develop automated data collection, composite laminate generation for customized medical applications using FPP technology in German-funded Patch2Patient project.

Dedicated to the production of hydrogen pressure vessel reinforcements, Cevotec’s specialized FPP system will be made accessible to Japanese industry through Fuji, including aerospace and composites research.

Collaboration with two new international sales partners will bring Cevotec’s fiber patch placement (FPP) technology to the forefront of the Chinese composites industry.

Cevotec and project partners have made significant progress in line with 2023 completion, including improvement of automated handling, patch vision inspection, and the laminate design and patch placement process.

Prepreg system is available to companies interested in exploring research in digitalization and AI for composites manufacture or to evaluate FPP-designed components.  

Cevotec’s solution is to apply carbon fiber patches to the dome areas of Type IV pressure vessels, which reportedly yields 15% in material, weight and cost savings.

Patch Artist module facilitates more even distribution of patches along tight curves during pressure vessel dome reinforcement, resulting in an optimized laminate thickness.  

Together, both companies will provide solutions that support French manufacturers and further optimize their composites production efficiency.

New hires and promotions have been announced this month by composites-related companies Cevotec, Tri-Mack, Norplex, ABC Polymer Industries, Belzona and Gefran Inc.

Cevotec conceptualizes the Samba PV, an automated fiber layup system that combines filament winding with automated fiber patch placement for optimized composite pressure vessel production.
