Today's greatest challenge in realizing energy-efficient structures from fibre-reinforced plastics lies in the capacity to manufacture high quality parts quickly and cost-effectively. This limits their availability for high volume production and thus hinders the adaptation of these lightweight materials in large volume markets.
Antefil Composite Tech is a start-up based at ETH Zurich which will revolutionize high volume composites manufacturing by providing preforms made from glass fibres which are individually clad in a meltable, recyclable plastic.
Our mission is to expedite the transition of the global composites industry to a more cost- and energy-efficient future and to help previously untouched markets adapt advanced lightweight material technology. To achieve these goals, we want to redefine the limits of cycle time and laminate quality encountered in large scale composites production and provide recyclable material preforms for processes currently bound to thermosets.
