Curve Works demonstrated that making composite panels on reconfigurable tooling is technically feasible.

Curve Works manufactured in February GFRP sample panels at  ADAPA. The experience was what we hoped for and we have showcased that manufacturing curved composite panels can be done fast & efficiently. We have demonstrated this for flat laminates, stiffened panels & sandwich panels.
