We help the composite industry design and build products easier and faster.
OTOMcomposite delivers the first process-simulation software for Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) — now extended with a Realtime CFD engine for compressible & incompressible flow and an SPH program. Predicting heat input, consolidation and part performance before you ever run a trial.
What is Automated Fiber Placement?
A fully automated, single-step route to lightweight composite parts — and where simulation makes the difference.
One-step, in-situ consolidation
AFP is an additive manufacturing technique for lightweight composites such as continuous glass/carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP). Prepreg tapes are consolidated “in situ” in a single automated step — significantly reducing production cost and removing the need for post-consolidation or curing.
Predict and optimize, early
OTOMcomposite helps customers predict and design the right process parameters from heat input, tooling geometry and feed rate. Applied in early development, it reduces cost, accelerates timelines and improves final part performance — when changes are still cheap to make.
Realtime CFD for compressible & incompressible flow
Beyond AFP, OTOM brings a GPU-accelerated Realtime CFD engine and an SPH program — resolving both compressible and incompressible flow as it happens.
Web-based AFP program
Our latest development — bringing the OTOM AFP program to the browser, no installation required.
