About Cevotec

Fiber Patch Placement has left marks and written history in the years of its technological development. Invented by Airbus Innovation Works in 2008, the technology was advanced in a joint industry project that gained support from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. In a team with the Institute for Carbon Composites of TU Munich, the companies Airbus, Manz, Cenit, OttoBock, and additional partners, the technology advanced from 2011 to 2014 to a working prototype that builds three dimensional parts from fiber patches.

In 2015, Felix Michl, Dr. Neven Majic and Thorsten Gröne founded Cevotec as a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich as part of the EXIST research transfer program to commercialize the technology. In March 2017 at JEC World in Paris, Cevotec presented SAMBA and ARTIST STUDIO, an industry-ready FPP system and software, for the first time and has successfully transferred Fiber Patch Placement from science to industry in recent years.

Meanwhile, Cevotec is the leading developer and one-stop-shop for patch-based composite production technologies. SAMBA and ARTIST STUDIO are the first industrial production system for complex fiber laminates and multi-material sandwich structures. We will further expand our portfolio of technologies featuring flexible fiber orientations – in processing technology as well as in software. It’s our own software development in particular that enables us to implement complex processes while keeping the design process easy and efficient for the user. We follow a clear technology roadmap, which we orient stringently to market needs. Because only when our customers are successful with our technology, we will be successful in the long-term.

Our mission is to enable manufacturers to build complex composites – in high volume and superior quality.
