Drones
Lightweight, high-modulus carbon fibre tapes for frames, propellors and wings, supporting gains in range, stiffness, and stability.
MoreFrom prototype to production-ready performance
Every application starts with a goal lower cycle time, tighter porosity limits, improved traceability, or new product geometry. At UD-Automated, we turn those targets into scalable, measurable production solutions. Using our thermoplastic UD-A carbon tapes and automation expertise, we can assist you from first concept to full-series manufacturing with consistency and control.
Where UD-A technology makes the difference
We collaborate with R&D and production teams to tailor tape design, process parameters and line setups for their exact application. Below are a few of the most common domains where UD-Automated technology delivers measurable advantages.
3D-printing applications
UD-A tapes as filament/feedstock reinforce large prints for higher strength, accuracy, and heat resistance.
