Bladewerx
Fiber Dynamics
Bladewerx is an exceptional collaboration between academia, material suppliers, and automation partners. Our approach facilitates the mass production of propellers, and other complex structures for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) industries.
When you parter with us we will:
- Develop advanced propeller designs and methodologies to maximize the benefit of our Lost Core RTM Process (LCRTM) technology.
- Evolve and characterize next-generation materials for these structures.
- Provide design through prototyping, certification, and production services.
- Collaborate with established automation partners to create automated processes for rates of 100,000 or more units per year.
- Apply these concepts to other aerostructures.
Conventional Matched-die RTM Process
Fiber Dynamics
This process is ideal for use in complex, lightweight-cored, and solid laminate structures. It provides more economical, high-volume production capability with excellent surface and superior structural properties.
Lost Core RTM Process (LCRTM) Technology
Fiber Dynamics
Our LCRTM Process includes:
- Proprietary manufacturing process for complex parts with hollow interior cavities and internal stiffeners.
- High-fiber volume composite geometries.
- Intricate assemblies involving metal details, inserts, and internal stiffeners with no secondary bonding or fastening.
- Superior control of wall thickness in critical thin-wall applications.
