Engineering & Design
Performance Composites’ experienced engineers and project managers are here to ensure your composite manufacturing project is successfully completed on time and on budget. We will manage your project from start to finish and support you in every way:
- Support your product design team. Bring our engineers in during the early design phase to help optimize your overall system design using composite materials.
- Support engineering, design and analysis with CAD and FEA. Our composite and mechanical engineers will help you achieve your design goals.
- Support the conversion from other materials to composite materials
Prototyping
Performance Composites can help you rapid prototype your parts using 3D design technology and temporary tooling during your development phase.
- Key Points: On the right is a low roof for EV Semi Truck (hmm looks familiar) in development.
- Prototyping Mold: Achieving vacuum for infusion on (high density foam) temporary mold. This skips master plug step.

Vacuum Infusion with
temporary tooling
- Material: Using carbon fiber and epoxy resin for optimum weight and stiffness
- Design Improvement: Upgrading reinforcement material and adding structural beam (to original design) for solid profile during performance
- Ready for Assembly: Part leaves the facility painted with hardware (aerospace grade) installed
These advancements has greatly improved our positional fixtures, cutting fixtures, drilling fixtures, bond fixtures and pre-form patterns are engineered to deliver repeatable and accurate results.
We have partnered with a leading robotics startup, to integrate robotic automation into our processes. An AI powered robotic arm meticulously sands large parts enhancing our manufacturing repeatability.
