& Composite materials
Carl has an extensive experience in the design and manufacture of high performance composite components, gained in high standard sectors such as aeronautics, car industry or motorsports.
CARL brings you its skills and abilities of products, from the conception to the manufacture of composite parts, going through machining and the making of tools.
With particularly high-performance design and manufacturing facilities, certified ISO 9001 and EN 9100 Aeronautics, CARL guarantees you a strict respect of procedures , operational modes and final product quality . CARL is a supplier labeled by the FIA.
Our
know-how
A project, an idea? contact us.
We intervene at all stages of your project to provide you with technical and financial adapted solutions.

Design office
Our design office is at your disposal , our missions:
- Feasibility study.
- Cost estimate.
- Conception (CAO, tools equipment, interface creations, products modification, chassis).
- Flattening of complex surfaces and management of composite layers (draping range).
- Programming for automatic cutting on CN of composite fabrics.
- Technical documentation: methods (machining and composite) , assembly, control, quality.
Machining
CARL is at your disposal for the making of machining .having two centers of machining , 5 axis , we have the means to respond quickly to your requests . For example:
Machining from foam board (use ambient temperature maximum/until 450kg/m3)
Machining from epoxide resin board ( use of temperature until 120 C°)
Machining from our exclusive process ( density 500 to 600 kg/m3 and reduction of manufacturing costs from 20 to 30 purcentage according to geometry.
Composite service
From your need , CARL proposes you :
- The choice of a suitable layout plan
- A composite part mastered and repeated thanks to standardization of our entire production process in line with the ISO9001 standard for the car industry and EN9100 for aviation
- A pre-impregnated composite workshop
- The cutting of composite fabrics on CN ZUND:automatic cutting of fabrics
- An autoclave 2*4m
- Sterilizers OMIA and MEMMERT
- A trimming workshop, finishing of the composite materials
- The realization of your composite parts within 3 weeks from your order and in function of geometry
Rubber service
Our rubber vulcanization performance under pressure:
- realization of flexible tank for the fuel waterproof in the long term , eliminating all the smells of fuel in the vehicule(category homologation FIA:FT3 1999, homologation FT5 , in the course of obtaining)
- Creation of flexible zones which are able to absorb partially the pressures related to shocks. Different solutions can be proposed.
- Adjustment of annulated areas made from coated technical textiles (polyamide , aramid) made of elastomer or raw materials with suitable flexibility.
- Creation of waterproofness areas on the periphery of composite parts.
- The implementation of the hinge function(repeated solicitations)
