In this project we are developing an AFP system to manufacture a structural shell for a business aircraft seat, with autonomous processes, closed loop control and improved cognitive ergonomics for machine operators
The next generation of aircraft will need to reduce their CO₂ emissions in many areas. In this project, we are focusing on improving the leading edge of aircraft wings.
The aim: to industrialise composite wrap joints as a disruptive alternative to welded steel nodes in offshore wind foundations, addressing Europe’s urgent need for cost-competitive, rapid, and sustainable manufacturing.
We are developing a new technology to bond different types of composites together. This hybrid technology bonds thermoplastic composites with thermosets. The aim is to make aircraft and other large structures lighter and more sustainable.
The manufacturing industry faces major challenges due to labor shortages, international competition and a growing demand for accuracy in robotised production. Together with our partner Do IoT Fieldlab, we are developing solutions with the latest wireless technologies.
Since our founding in 2018, we have focused on the aerospace industry. In 2026, we are expanding into the maritime, wind and offshore, and civil engineering. In addition, we are broadening our portfolio with new automated manufacturing processes such as drilling, milling, and cold spray.
SAM XL develops smart robotic solutions for welding ship panels together. This is currently mainly done manually.
The aerospace industry urgently needs innovative methods to manufacture aircraft in a more sustainable way. Through experiments, we are researching how to efficiently combine lightweight materials with innovations in the adhesive and manufacturing processes.
Together with RoboHouse, we are strengthening the robotics ecosystem. Supported by fundingfrom the Province of South Holland, are able to jointly create three new support roles that are crucial to the continued growth and development of both field labs.
