Q&A

Here are some frequently asked questions:

When is your prod­uct avail­able and where can I get it?
At the JEC World 2018 on March 6th where we will be intro­duc­ing our prod­uct and from there­on test­ing sam­ples and stacks up to 425 x 425 mm will be avail­able. We will start to sup­ply cus­tomers with in Q2/2018 with our full scale pro­duc­tion (see below).
You can order your indi­vid­ual tex­tile at our online store on our website.

What ist the dif­fer­ence between your prod­uct and a stan­dard NCF-textile?
The com­par­a­tive dif­fer­ence to NCF is that our prod­uct is ful­ly tai­lorable to your require­ments, includ­ing orders as small as one piece.
Our prod­uct is pro­duced and deliv­ered near net shape. We use one fiber type and one stan­dard gram­mage (150g/m2) per stack lay­er. This will be the future stan­dard of NCF 😉
150g/m2 is the best com­pro­mise between ulti­mate design free­dom and min­i­mized costs.

What does it cost?
Because we pro­duce and deliv­er near net shape you will have a cost sav­ing between 20% to 40% in com­par­i­son to NCF. 20% to 40% is the typ­i­cal cut-off-waste you gen­er­ate when you work with NCF.

The price is cal­cu­lat­ed indi­vid­u­al­ly based on your input dur­ing your orderering process. It will always be the ‘best price’ and this depends on three factors:
1.) The amount of car­bon fibers in your product
2.) The space uti­liza­tion of your prod­uct on our pro­duc­tion machine
3.) The vol­ume you order
For exam­ple: if you order a square frame and a filled square of the same size they uti­lize the same pro­duc­tion space and the dif­fer­ence in price is only caused by the dif­fer­ent amounts of fibers need­ed for the two products.
