STAXX 3D

FIBER PLACEMENT MACHINING CENTER

The STAXX 3D offers various options for high-volume production. The swiveling rotary table offers even more possibilities to produce small individual composite parts such as ribs, flat plates, structural parts and tailored blanks. This system is not only highly flexible, but achieves high part quality in a time-saving manner. Designed for a cost-efficient and sustainable production it is ideal for the automotive and aerospace industry
