Questions we get asked often

In our own workshop in Münster — from the first shaping to the finished prototype. For series parts and larger-scale mold building, we work with experienced manufacturing partners, for example for mold making and larger tooling.

The workshop is set up for prototyping and small-batch production:

• 3D printers for models, jigs and core molds
• CNC mill for mold and model making
• Vacuum pumps for vacuum infusion and layup
• Curing ovens for post-curing and tempering
• Classic woodworking and model-making machinery

Yes. 3D printing is a core part of our prototyping workflow — for models, jigs and core molds. Combined with vacuum infusion for the laminate, functional prototypes can be realized significantly faster than through classic mold making.

Yes — the entire composite engineering chain, from design through CFRP and GFRP manufacturing to the finished prototype, takes place in our own workshop in Münster.

The clear focus is on fiber composites — that is the professional specialization. But through my training as a carpenter, wood and hybrid construction also come into play, as do sheet-metal parts and mechanical designs, when that's the better solution for a given part. The choice of material follows the requirement, not a fixed dogma.

Fiberglass (GFRP) is more affordable and strong enough for many applications. Carbon fiber (CFRP) is significantly stiffer and lighter at the same load capacity, but more expensive in both material and processing. Which material makes sense depends on the part and its load case — not on a fixed dogma.

Lightweight design isn't just about “lighter material” — it means designing along the actual load paths, with beads, core structures and targeted fiber orientation that don't exist in classic materials like sheet metal. That achieves far more weight savings than a simple 1:1 material swap.

Yes. Alongside new development and prototyping, we handle fiberglass repair and carbon fiber repair — specifically cracks, breaks and delamination on GFRP and CFRP parts. From boat hulls and yachts to sports and leisure equipment like surfboards or kayaks, to technical parts from industry and trades.

The focus is on structural damage: cracks, breaks and delamination (separation of the laminate layers).

Fastest by photo: send us pictures of the damage by email, and we'll give you an initial assessment of feasibility and scope. Depending on the part, the repair takes place in our workshop in Münster or — for large, hard-to-transport parts like boat hulls — directly on site.

For large, hard-to-transport parts like boat hulls, we also repair on site as needed — at the mooring or in winter storage.

Yes. Fiber composites play a role in yacht and boat building wherever fire protection, freeform shapes and weight push classic materials to their limits — challenges we know especially well from yacht interior fit-out.

Fiber composite face sheets and core structures can achieve fire protection classes where classic materials alone reach their limits. Fire protection for yachts is therefore one of the main reasons fiber composites are used in yacht interior fit-out — alongside high-end residences.

IMO FTPC (Fire Test Procedures Code) defines the fire protection requirements that parts in shipbuilding and yacht building must meet. We advise on materials and layups that can meet these requirements.

Starting at a batch size of one. The focus is deliberately on projects that are too small or too complex for many suppliers — one-off parts and prototypes are explicitly welcome.

Both. Most projects are B2B, but ambitious private projects — such as bringing your own product idea to life — are welcome too.

In five steps: Design → Engineering → Analysis → Prototype → Small batch. Details can be found in the "Product Development" section on the homepage.
