Our Technology

OTOMcomposite provides engineering services and software for automated fiber placement (AFP), laser-assisted tape placement (LATP) and laser-assisted tape winding (LATW) for lightweight thermoplastic composites. Process challenges are resolved by an intelligent algorithm that discretizes the boundary conditions of the optical and thermal model phenomena.

OTOM Technology

The services are offered to clients remotely or at their site — including production line and product quality assessment, technology consulting, and tailored engineering software.

Challenges we help you resolve

  • Temperature localization
  • Process deviations
  • Reliability issues
  • Insufficient bonding quality
  • Non-homogeneous quality
  • High engineering lead time
  • High final cost
