ConsultingThe substitution of composites form other materials in many industries is only just beginning, whether it is driven by the requirement to remove weight (lightweighting) or in the development of superioir performance.
Formtech has developed expertise in a number of areas which can support the process of substituting composites answering questions such as which parts will substitute first? What will the cost implications be? How will we develop a supply chain? How will we maintain quality?
The graph below is an example of the analysis that was undertaken to better undestand the substitution process.
 This substitution graph was used in a paper given by Mark Preston at the Composites UK event in 2010: read it here. Services: - screen a product portfolio and analyse which products would be suitable for substitution - develop planning for the substitution of composites - develop a technology roadmap for the development of the required supply chain Using our experience in developing composites in the fast paced world of Formula One and our understanding of the requirements for cost control, quality and volume that is required for industry, we can support many new project developments. |
