Problem
Manufacturers of high‑performance components often rely on conventional materials and uniform reinforcement, leading to excess weight, higher material consumption, and limited design flexibility. This hampers efficiency, increases energy use, and restricts the ability to meet stringent strength‑to‑weight targets in sectors such as aerospace, sports equipment, and footwear.
Solution
Fibionic offers a full‑stack, bionically optimized lightweight component service that uses patented finite‑element (FE) based topology optimization to place reinforcement fibers only where structural loads demand them. The company computes the optimal fiber architecture, produces functional prototypes rapidly, and provides a production process capable of high‑volume manufacturing with cycle times under one minute. By matching material placement to load paths, Fibionic achieves 30‑40 % weight reductions while preserving or enhancing strength and stiffness. All materials are either recyclable or derived from renewable feedstocks, supporting sustainability goals. The solution is delivered end‑to‑end, from design and simulation through prototyping, series production, and technology licensing.
Target Audience
Primary customers are OEMs and product developers in aerospace, marine, sports equipment, and footwear industries that require lightweight, high‑performance parts with fast development cycles and sustainable material options.
