Plyable has won the Innovation in Composite Design Award at the Composites UK Industry Awards 2024! Last night’s ceremony, held at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, was a chance to reflect on the achievements and advancements made within the UK composites sector in the last year.
The Technology Behind the Award
Traditional mold design has often been slow and labour-intensive, causing project delays and driving up costs. Our approach uses artificial intelligence to automate critical design steps, such as surface detection, hole filling, and the integration of structural supports. By cutting the time from days to just minutes, we’re helping engineers work more efficiently and free them up to focus on what matters most.
As our CTO, Luke Hunter, highlighted in his presentation at the Composites Forum during the Advanced Engineering Show earlier in the day, the real value lies in simplifying the design process while ensuring precision and reliability. It’s about making things easier for our clients, not adding unnecessary complexity.
Why This Matters
Our technology offers more than just time savings. By automating the design process, we ensure consistent quality and give clients a way to scale their operations confidently. Industries like aerospace, automotive, and marine rely on high-precision composite tooling, and our ai-driven platform provides a dependable, scalable solution that can meet customer demands. The awards evening was a celebration of hard work and progress, and winning this award is a recognition of how our technology is reshaping the industry.
Composite manufacturing is always evolving, and we’re committed to driving change across the industry. A big thank you to our team, our clients, and everyone at Composites UK. We’re grateful for the support and look forward to what’s next.
