Develop larger and lighter composite wind turbine blades that lower the cost of delivering wind energy

Full Ext Ply DeviationThe goal of delivering low-cost wind energy challenges engineers to develop larger and lighter wind turbine blades that yield higher efficiency. But, these blade designs are becoming increasingly more sophisticated, complicated and costly to manufacture at high volume using traditional techniques. To meet this challenge, engineers are developing designs that increasingly utilize automated manufacturing processes to reduce labor and manufacturing costs and are looking for new composite blade development processes. In short, they need the best partner with the right solution to help them:

FiberSIM creates flat patterns of plies directly from the 3D CAD model, improving the accuracy and speed of the ply development process for small to very large plies and gores.VISTAGY is the recognized leader in composites engineering, with over 15 years of experience partnering with leading companies around the world to establish the vision and processes for composites design and manufacturing for aerospace and defense and high-performance automotive companies - and over 5 years of wind energy expertise. Our close collaboration and strategic partnerships with the world's largest wind turbine manufacturers, has allowed VISTAGY to create the first industry-specific, end-to-end system for composite wind blade development.
