mouldCAM doesn't just help build new generation boats from advanced composites, or exciting props for action movies, or help innovative public transport enterprises serve growing cities with better mass transit... we do all of these and more with synergistic benefits for each market. The lessons learned by our 'Solutions Engineers' across these diverse markets help us meet the challenges and achieve breakthroughs by bringing fresh thinking and astute skills to your specific project.
Probably the most innovative users of composite material manufacturing on the planet are marine manufacturers who have moved from timber and steel vessels of yesteryear to GRP to meet the demands of this harsh environment where strength and integrity are prime requisites. mouldCAM supplies productive tools to world leaders in building cruising yachts, racing yachts, motor cruisers (sports, fishing and commercial) and work vessels from its production centre in Queensland, Australia. Our clients include Fairline, Riviera, Danish Yacht, Whittley Marine and Oyster Yachts.
Carbon fibre composite bearers are extending roof spans while reducing weight with spectacular sculptural possibilities. Fibre re-enforced polymers are providing new shapes for designers to create new looks for external and internal surfaces with a lower environmental impact and good longterm performance over other materials. mouldCAM offers practical build solutions for the fertile minds of designers in architecture and industry with 'big' ideas and lateral solutions to create inspiring new spaces and forms. Some of our recent projects include the Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre in Sydney, Australia and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
The quest to reduce emissions and resources consumption through lower weight replacements for steel in vehicles is quickly developing Polymer Matrix Composites made from glass, carbon and aramid fibre re-enforcements. The research has been done. Reducing vehicle weight by just 25% would save over 1.2 million barrels of oil per day in the USA alone, reducing fuel consumption by 13-20% and reducing CO2 emissions by several hundred million tonnes per annum. Plastic cars and transports are coming. mouldCAM has the expertise to assist with tooling up for composite production systems for both private and public transports. We've manufactured composite components for everything from V8 Supercars to Mack Trucks.
Today's visual-based society is totally into exciting and 'big things'... giant apes in movies, giant characters at theme parks, giant dolls at rave parties. mouldCAM's experience in producing lifesize (animatronic crocodiles for feature films) or bigger than life objects from scale models, drawings and other references has created some visually exciting results for clients with a big vision. Event producers now have a real option to create that exciting centrepiece whether it's for a sporting grand final, a city / community celebration, a music festival or a 3D advertising icon. Film props can give your production team the speed and budget edge when they need a full size stealth jet for example, versus the time and cost of even accessing the channels to begin discussing it. mouldCAM brings creative imaginations into 3D reality sooner.
If you build big metal equipment for mine and resource production centres then mouldCAM can rapidly make high tolerance patterns, moulds & plugs to support your foundry and machining needs. Or if the need is for extreme condition composite solutions in offshore oil and gas applications and the like, where strength and reduced weight are important elements, mouldCAM has the techniques and knowledge.
