CSS (Composite Sourcing Solutions) provides a reliable engineering bridge to overseas manufacturers of low cost, high quality, high
performance composite products.
We provide engineering services in support of your composite product development,
production qualifications, and composite product sourcing from vetted overseas composite factories.
CSS
manages the technical and logistics headaches while you benefit from higher profit margins.
CSS offers affordable contracted engineering services in support of fledgling composite feasibility studies through established
manufacturing process optimization programs.
CSS' aerospace/consumer product development background and high volume overseas
manufacturing experience serves clients' needs across a broad spectrum of composite applications and industries.
"CSS' services present clients with a unique opportunity to seamlessly transition from composite product
innovation to high volume overseas composite production.
Whether at the conceptual stage, seeking solutions to recurring
production problems, or simply looking for higher margins through overseas sourcing opportunities, we hope to serve as
your engineering bridge to affordable, quality, high performance composite products. Please
Contact Us to discuss your
program needs."
We consult with your Engineering and Production Departments to develop and optimize composite designs, performance
specifications, and quality assurance test methodology for overseas production and quality control.
CSS then works
with an overseas composite factory to develop initial samples and pricing, qualify product, coordinate production scale-up, and ensure
compliance with all client approved product documentation.
You place orders with the qualified factory.
Finished goods are packaged per your specification and shipped direct from the factory.
CSS production liaison services
effectively manage overseas production for you; oversee order placement, resolve production problems, communicate change orders, address
vendor related issues, etc.
Design, development, and production of curved variable cross section hollow composite products made by Bladder Inflation Molding (prepregs
or resin infused preforms) is a particular area of expertise. Other areas of expertise include:
Highly loaded hybrid
bladder and compression molded composite structures
Hollow composite
structures with radical
cross section changes
High volume production of small diameter piezoelectric fiber composite articles
- Composite Product Innovation
-
Composite IP Development
- High Volume Composite Production
- Consumer Product Marketing
- Affordable Composite
Utilization
- Complex Composite Geometries
- Resin Infused Composite Parts
- Hybrid Composite Structures
"Your bridge to low cost, high quality composites."
Low cost, high volume fiberglass tubing and carbon fiber tubing applications are commonplace in overseas composite factories.
Composite tubes can produced in a variety of diameters and lengths using straight or tapered precision mandrels.
Complex
hollow composite structures with curvature and variable cross sections can be bladder molded to accurate OML surface geometries.
Value
added composite machining and assembly operations can be performed to your specifications. Custom finishes and graphics can
be applied prior to QC testing and final inspection or parts can shipped with an as molded surface.

Composite Engineering Services
Our Product Development focus is often on challenging composite structures requiring atypical design and manufacturing
solutions. Examples include:
Composite Product Innovation – CSS reviews existing product lines, the competition landscape, and relevant patent positions to
conceive novel composite product concepts
Composite Product Development – Novel FRP composite concepts are reduced to practice
by developing tangible prototypes for evaluation and testing
Composite Production - CSS proposes and supports manufacturing
scale-up and production qualification programs to allay production concerns
Production Quality Control – Product and
Quality Specifications are developed to ensure consistency
Field Returns / Warranty Claims – CSS recommends product design
and manufacturing process improvements throughout the product life cycle
