ADDYX srl has officially presented their newly developed carbon exoskeleton, an innovative technology for advanced composite structures, comprising topology-optimized, unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber-reinforced composite ribs on the inside of molded, hollow components!
Made by additive manufacturing (AM) technology using a patented material with a low environmental footprint, WSM-170 is ideal for composites processing including autoclave and out-of-autoclave (OOA) methods such as resin transfer molding (RTM) with an external counter-mold.
Ultimately, Addyx aims to change the paradigm for the topology optimization of composite structures and enable more efficient design, manufacturing and structural performance.
Advantages for the resulting composite components include: 🕵🏻♀️
- Up to 40% reduction in manufacturing time.
- Up to 15% reduction in scrap rate.
- Up to 20% weight reduction.
- High-quality surface finish on external and internal surfaces.
- Sustainability: mandrel wash out using tap water.
