Why Choose ACP Custom Composite Laminates

Autoclave Cured Thermoset Prepreg Construction

Our AS9100-certified composite manufacturing processes provide consistent fiber-to-resin ratios and predictable mechanical performance for challenging applications.

Strength-to-Weight Performance

Carbon fiber and fiberglass laminate sheets deliver incredible stiffness and strength while reducing component weight for high-performance aerospace and automotive applications.

Precision Layup Orientations

Depending on the end usage, custom laminates allow precise control over layup orientation from balanced to quasi-isotropic to meet specific design requirements.

Dimensional Stability

The controlled curing processes followed at ACP produce uniformly flat, stable, and durable laminate sheets with tight dimensional tolerances.

Consistent Thermal Performance

Whether it's extreme cold or extreme heat, ACP custom composite laminates maintain performance characteristics in a wide range of operating temperatures and environments.

Reduced Maintenance

Composite laminates do not corrode, require minimal upkeep, and maintain their structural integrity over long service lives in even the most challenging or rugged applications.

Viable Metal Replacement

Rather than using metal, which is far heavier and more challenging to fabricate on-site, composite laminates are desirable replacements for aluminum, steel, and other alloys.

Applications for Custom Composite Laminates

Aerospace

Custom composite laminates are used in the design and development of aerospace structures, including tooling and secondary components, where a strength-to-weight ratio is at a premium.

Space

For space and satellite projects, custom laminates support lightweight structural elements like brackets or panels that require reliable mechanical properties and thermal resistance in extreme environments.

Marine

Thanks to their resistance to corrosion and salt spray, composite laminates are highly desirable for marine applications where they outperform conventional materials like alloys or wood.

Medical

Precision medical device manufacturers rely on composite laminate sheets to develop positioning systems, imaging components, and structural supports, thanks to their strength and compatibility with diagnostic environments.

Industrial

OEMs across countless industries rely on composite laminates from ACP to deliver tough, rugged, and reliable durability while reducing weight for things like machine covers, enclosures, tooling, and structural components.

& More

From electronic manufacturing to transportation and even sporting goods, custom laminate sheets are in high demand anywhere that a lightweight yet structurally durable material is required.
