Thermoplastic overmoulding on carbon

In partnership with Epsilon Composite, Somocap holds a co-patent for thermoplastic overmoulding of composite tubes.

These solutions make it possible to replace manual insert gluing or riveting operations with automated injection moulding. Proof of both its technological and economic performance, this technology is field-proven through qualification on the Airbus A350 and robotic applications, and has received the Global Industrie Award 2023 in the exemplary partnership category.
