Custom Engineering & Design
From Requirements to Manufacturable Solutions
Successful composite components are developed at the intersection of material science, manufacturing expertise, and application knowledge. CK Composites works with OEMs to transform performance requirements into manufacturable, scalable, and reliable solutions.
Material selection and optimization
Design for manufacturability
Tooling and process development
Prototype and production support
Engineering Starts With Understanding The Application
Whether developing a new component, replacing an obsolete design, or improving an existing product, we begin by understanding the electrical, mechanical, environmental, and production requirements of the application.
Our role is not simply to produce to a drawing or manufacture a part. It is to help customers develop solutions that can be manufactured reliably and supported throughout their lifecycle.
Full Process, APG-based Production
Design & Fabrication
Multidisciplinary Engineering
Component & Assembly Design
Prototyping & Iterative Development
Simulation provides insight. Physical testing provides validation. Prototype programs allow designs to be refined, tested, and optimized before production release.
Tooling & Process Development
Tooling is a critical part of the manufacturing system. CK Composites develops production-grade tooling designed to support quality, repeatability, and long-term process capability. The component, tooling, and manufacturing process are optimized together to achieve the best overall result.
Custom Engineered Solutions
Custom engineered solutions are how we turn tough electrical and mechanical challenges into reliable, manufacturable composite components tailored to your application.
Product & Process Engineering
Balancing performance requirements, manufacturability, tooling strategy, and production capability.
Tackle higher voltage, tighter space, or harsher environments
Turn real‑world constraints into clear design requirements.
Balance performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
Prototype to Production
Supporting projects from concept development through qualification, production launch, and long-term supply.
New system or platform design
Replacing metal or legacy materials with advanced composites
Vertically integrated production.
Application-Specific Solutions
Custom composite solutions developed around the unique electrical, mechanical, environmental, and dimensional requirements of the application.
Start from a sketch, spec, print, or field‑pulled part
Reverse‑engineer geometry and critical interfaces.
Define a clear path from first article to production.
Rigid. Strong. Precise.
Designing for Production Success
The best component design is one that performs in service and can be manufactured consistently over time. CK Composites evaluates designs through both engineering and manufacturing lenses, helping customers optimize performance, reduce risk, and improve long-term production outcomes.
Typical Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Considerations:
- Material selection
- Tooling strategy
- Process capability
- Production scalability
- Cost-performance tradeoffs
Application‑Specific Validation
Development testing designed around the unique operating requirements of the application.
Qualification Support
Support for customer qualification programs, production launch activities, and transition into long-term manufacturing.
Bridging Development and Production
Validation & Production Readiness
Engineering does not end when the design is complete. Validation testing and production trials provide critical feedback that helps refine designs and reduce risk prior to full production launch.
CK Composites regularly collaborates with customers on prototype evaluation, production trials, application-specific testing, and qualification programs to ensure designs perform as intended under real-world conditions.
