Coriolis Composites is advancing its position in the U.S. market by strengthening its technological offerings and expanding its on-the-ground presence. Central to this strategy is the innovative C1.2 Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) machine (2022), engineered to precisely and efficiently drape complex concave components. Coriolis continues to expand its AFP product line with the C3 (2025) and C5 (2020) machines, featuring large dockable heads for high-rate production of large aerostructures.
Comprehensive Solutions Across Composite Manufacturing
Coriolis is the only AFP supplier offering a comprehensive portfolio of robotic and gantry systems, covering the full spectrum of composite part manufacturing — from small, intricate geometries to large-scale aerospace components, such as wings. The company also offers Catfiber, a powerful design optimization tool embedded in Catia V5 and 3DX, enabling engineering teams to simulate manufacturability and perform FEA-driven optimization.
Technical Support and Local Infrastructure
As part of its North American expansion, Coriolis has opened a new technical center in Wichita, Kansas. Its machines are already operational at several high-profile institutions, including the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR). To date, just under 10 AFP machines have been installed nationwide.
Complementary Technologies and Digital Integration
Coriolis also offers filament winding systems, automatic ply inspection, digital twin technologies, and advanced data analysis platforms, enabling a fully connected and automated composite manufacturing ecosystem.
