Material Development
At Datum Advanced Composites, we find workable solutions to complex problems through the chemical, functional and practical development of new materials and systems from fundamental to final application. We take a collaborative approach in which we partner with world-leading research organisations and industries alike. We explore material behaviour and degradation beyond established operating conditions and tailor specific properties to suit application requirements. We strive to improve and modify material performance for extreme environments and hazardous applications. We actively undertake customer requests and public-funded initiatives to improve the cost, weight, health, and safety of new systems made from sustainable and efficient composite materials.
Process Development
Datum Advanced Composites' experienced Material and Process Development Team has a proven track record of developing and improving composite manufacturing processes to make them more cost-effective, reliable, efficient and environmentally friendly. Whether it is setting up an Automated Tape Layup (ATL) or Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) facility or whether it is setting up the capability to Additively Manufacture (3D Print) structural components or fabricate Nanocomposites for multifunctional use, Team Datum can help you set one up. Alternatively, you can use our state-of-the-art processing capabilities. We can support you from the planning and execution stage to monitoring and improving these complex processes.
