PRF has significant experience in providing prepreg and dry kits to customers in aerospace, marine, renewable energy, motorsport and more.
Our purpose-built kitting and preforming centre, opened in 2019, greatly extended our material processing capabilities. This two storey facility currently has 4 conveyerised CNC cutters, which cut prepreg and dry fabrics up to 1.5m wide, and significant space for kit packing. Our experienced team are highly trained in packing to our customer's exact requirements.
Our machines are supported by our CAD office, where we can receive two-dimensional CAD drawings for cutting via email. Our qualified CAD draughtsmen are also able to digitise shapes for our customers without CAD facilities.
We use static, rotary and oscillating blades and have a great deal of experience achieving high quality results with the more difficult technical textiles; we can cut Dyneema® and Kevlar®, including ballistics grade Kevlar® up to 25mm thick. We nest for optimum material usage and can supply materials in kits, assembled to our customers’ requirements; saving your time and labour costs. We can include out-life sheets, lot traceability, labelling and more as required. Prepreg kits can be stored in our freezer facility, ready for immediate despatch and ‘just-in-time’ delivery service.
