ESR prosthesis
Energy-storing foot
A carbon-fiber component designed to return energy at every step, with optimized layup and experimental validation.
CARBON-FIBER COMPOSITES
Carbon-fiber components: lighter, stiffer, designed and produced by us.
We design and make composite components end to end: from the choice of layup to the molds, from production to material characterization for certifications.
Main sectors we work in
- Sport
- Biomedical and prosthetics
- Racing
- Aerospace
From design to the composite component
One path, from design to material characterization.
-
Design
We design the component in CAD starting from your requirement or a sketch, defining geometry, constraints and expected performance.
-
Layup optimization
Working in composite means designing the material too: we optimize the number of layers and fiber orientation with a design of experiment.
-
Molds
We design and make the molds needed to produce the component with the required quality and repeatability.
-
Production
We produce the component in carbon or glass fiber, following the defined layup sequence.
-
Material characterization
We characterize the materials with tensile, compression and flexural tests, supporting your product’s certifications.
What we design and produce in composite
A complete composite service, from design to material characterization.
Composite design
Components in carbon and glass fiber, from the functional requirement to the production drawing.
Layup optimization
Number of layers and fiber orientation optimized with a design of experiment.
Mold design and manufacturing
Dedicated molds to produce the component with quality and repeatability.
Direct production
We make your composite components, from prototype to small series.
Material characterization
Tensile, compression and flexural tests supporting product certifications.
Metal-fiber hybrid solutions
Tubular and other components combining fiber and metal where you need stiffness and precise mechanical interfaces.
FROM RESEARCH TO PRODUCTION
Expertise born in research
Our composite expertise comes from real research projects. We have designed carbon-fiber prostheses and high-damping laminates, and we bring that background to the components we make for you.
- MyFlex-γ energy-storage-and-return foot prosthesis (European MyLeg project, Horizon 2020)
- Laminates with electrospun nanofibers, up to 77% more vibration damping (Povolo et al., Composite Structures 272, 2021)
- Patented methodology for designing carbon-fiber prostheses (WO2023135510A1)
- Material characterization supporting certifications
Composite examples
Three examples of the kind of work we do.
Hybrid tube
Fiber and metal together
A tubular structure combining the lightness of fiber with metal interfaces, where stiffness and precise fittings are needed.
High-damping component
Vibration under control
A laminate with nanofiber layers to cut vibration, where lightness and stability matter together.

FAQ about carbon-fiber composites
Yes, both. We choose the material and layup sequence based on the required performance, weight and budget.
Yes. We design and make the molds needed to produce the component with the quality and repeatability you need.
Yes. We run tensile, compression and flexural tests and give you the data to support your product’s certifications.
Both. We can stop at the design and optimized layup, or follow molds, production and characterization, always with a single point of contact.
Yes. Absolute confidentiality on client projects, drawings and know-how, with dedicated non-disclosure agreements. For us it is a baseline condition.
Need mechanical design or FEM validation?
If you need mechanical design and finite element analysis for a component, in metal or composite, we handle that too.
