At Composites Universal Group (CUG), we help aerospace and defense manufacturers move from prototype to full-rate production with speed, precision, and confidence. Our composite production ramp-up services are designed to scale your composite part or assembly from early-stage development to high-volume manufacturing—without sacrificing quality or delivery timelines.
Accelerate Your Path to Full-Rate Composite Production
When you’re ready to scale, CUG offers the infrastructure, engineering expertise, and quality systems needed to support your composite production ramp-up. Whether you’re launching a new aircraft platform, satellite program, or eVTOL system, we act as an extension of your team to:
- Increase production capacity
- Improve throughput and repeatability
- Reduce cost-per-part over time
- Maintain tight tolerances and quality control
- Ensure on-time delivery during scale-up
Ramp-Up Support Capabilities
Our California-based facility is equipped to scale composite manufacturing programs through:
✅ In-House Tooling & Fixture Development
We design and build layup tools, bonding jigs, and trim fixtures to support consistent, scalable manufacturing from the start.
✅ Autoclave & OOA Composite Curing
High-capacity ovens and autoclaves support simultaneous curing for low- and high-rate production.
✅ CNC Trimming & 5-Axis Machining
Precision machining capabilities ensure parts meet dimensional specs at scale.
✅ Assembly & Integration
Multi-part composite assembly using adhesive bonding, mechanical fastening, or hybrid methods.
✅ Production Planning & Inventory Management
Lean manufacturing processes, lot tracking, and flexible scheduling keep your ramp-up on track.
Materials & Applications We Scale
CUG ramps up production for a wide range of composite parts and assemblies, including:
- Carbon fiber aerospace components
- UAV fuselages and fairings
- Satellite panels and enclosures
- AAM (Advanced Air Mobility) structural systems
- Automotive and marine composite structures
We work with prepregs, dry fabrics, resin systems (epoxy, BMI, phenolic), and core materials like Nomex® and aluminum honeycomb.
