Marine
The best attributes for using composite materials in marine environments? They are corrosion resistant, lightweight, and strong, and they can be used for many different marine applications. Specifically, custom composites offer designers the ability to fine tune components while maximizing desired peak performance to customer design specifications. Composite materials offer designers the capability to match and maximize equipment parameters to make final hardware achieve its best performance capabilities possible.

CASE STUDIES
Truss Structure / Marine Sensor Mast
This customer-designed truss structure is a mast for sensors in a maritime environment. Utilizing our off-the-shelf carbon fiber tubing and custom-designed gussets, the structure saved 40% of the weight compared to aluminum tubes and offered corrosion resistance for the harsh operational environment.
