Services Offered by Taiga
CFRP processing is essential for achieving both lightweight and high-strength properties. At Taiga, we use advanced precision processing techniques to deliver high-quality CFRP components for the aerospace and automotive industries. We can handle complex shapes and offer flexible solutions, from prototyping to mass production.
Taiga handles the entire CFRP processing workflow, from design and material preparation to various molding techniques, machining, and finishing. Additionally, data for completed parts and products are stored on Taiga’s platform, making it easy to reorder with just one click.
We consistently support high-precision and high-quality manufacturing processes by utilizing the latest equipment and the expertise of our engineers cultivated over many years.
At Taiga, we offer a variety of services designed to achieve more efficient manufacturing.
First, we provide a "collaboration feature" that allows all project stakeholders to view and approve drawings and contracts in real-time.
Additionally, our platform enables easy communication through chat, and consolidates various files—such as 2D and 3D drawings, quotes, and project-related documents—into one central location.
These services help meet the diverse needs of our customers, streamline information sharing, and improve efficiency by reducing inspection time, returns, and rework.
In addition to CFRP processing, we also support a variety of manufacturing methods, including sheet metal processing, 3D printing, cutting, and injection molding. We offer multiple manufacturing options best suited for your product, saving you the time and effort of sourcing external partners. With fast quotations and smooth parts production, we ensure quick and efficient results.
CFRP is lightweight yet offers superior strength and rigidity compared to steel or aluminum. As a result, products made through CFRP processing are ideal for structural components that require both high strength and rigidity.
CFRP is much lighter than metal materials such as steel and aluminum. Consequently, products made from CFRP processing contribute significantly to weight reduction.
CFRP allows for precise control over fiber orientation and stacking configurations. This enables CFRP processing to easily create products with complex shapes or three-dimensional geometries.
CFRP does not rust or corrode like metallic materials. Therefore, products made through CFRP processing are well-suited for use in harsh environments, such as outdoors or underwater.
Prepreg laminate molding is a processing technique where "prepreg sheets," which are carbon fibers impregnated with resin, are stacked and then heated and pressurized to cure. By arranging the sheets in multiple layers and adjusting the orientation of the fibers, high-strength, high-rigidity composite materials can be molded. This method is primarily used in industries requiring high strength and lightweight materials, such as aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods. The heating and pressurization processes using autoclaves or hot presses enable high dimensional accuracy and excellent mechanical properties.
Autoclave molding is a forming technique that cures composite materials in a high-temperature, high-pressure environment. Prepreg (resin-impregnated fiber sheets) are layered in a mold and sealed in a vacuum bag. The sealed mold is then heated and pressurized inside an autoclave, allowing for the creation of high-density, bubble-free parts. This method is particularly suitable for the manufacturing of parts that require excellent mechanical properties, such as those in aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods industries. It achieves uniform curing and excellent fiber content, making it widely used for the production of high-strength, high-rigidity CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) components.
First, determine what product or part you want to create and create the design blueprint. Drawings can be created and edited on Taiga. You can use the pen, highlight, typing, and chat functions to collaboratively edit 2D drawings in real time, making corrections or clarifications as needed.
Based on the design, we prepare the necessary CFRP materials. CFRP is available in various forms, including prepreg (resin-impregnated carbon fiber sheets), carbon fiber fabric, and carbon fibers. We also prepare core materials and molds as needed.
After preparing the materials, they are formed into the desired shape. The main molding methods are as follows:
・Autoclave Molding
This method involves laminating prepreg into a mold and curing it by heating and pressurizing in an autoclave (heating and pressurizing furnace).
・RTM Molding
In this method, carbon fiber fabric is placed in a mold, resin is injected, and it is then cured.
・Press Molding
This method involves laminating prepreg or SMC (sheet molding compound) onto a die, then heating and pressurizing it in a press machine to cure.
・Filament Winding Molding
This method involves winding carbon fibers around a mandrel while impregnating them with resin and curing the material.
Molded CFRP is processed into the designed shape. Taiga supports a variety of machining methods, including cutting, laser machining, and water jet machining.
We perform processes such as deburring, surface treatment, and painting to enhance the appearance of the product or part. Surface treatments include plating, painting, and anodizing, which are selected based on the product’s application and requirements.
The finished products are inspected for size, shape, appearance, and strength to ensure they meet quality standards. After these processes, the CFRP product is complete.
Developed parts and products are stored on Taiga, making it easy to reprocess (or re-purchase) the same items when needed.
