Any reinforcing fiber material, of whatever sort—glass fiber, natural fibers, aramid fibers, carbon fiber roving, etc.—is processed at maximum speed. And use of the TFP process, which combines lightness, high strength, cost performance, and environmental performance, permits design orientations that make the most of the material’s capabilities.

The TFP (Tailored Fiber Placement) process is a process in which reinforcing fibers are sewn onto a base material to form a preform that meets the required properties. Reinforcing fibers such as carbon fibers that exhibit strong anisotropy, which provides strength only in the direction of the fiber’s orientation, can be arranged continuously and freely, making it possible to design a composite material structure that provides the necessary strength in the required direction.

“EDOpath 2.0” is software specifically for the TCWM that controls the precise placement of fiber bundles based on required mechanical properties. This enables the creation of more fitting fiber orientation data and optimal stitch data.

At Tajima Group, our staff of specialists support customers in solving their problems related to the TFP process, including issues with trial production, fiber orientation design, and production of preforms (intermediate base material). Please feel free to contact us through the CONTACT form.
