Composites, once confined to aerospace and automotive sectors, are now driving innovation across freight, construction and energy industries, enhancing sustainability and competitiveness. CAMX 2024 highlighted projects that are broadening the scope of material application, focusing on efficiency, adaptability and sustainability. As sectors like eVTOL near commercial viability, the demand for flexible, automated equipment that can seamlessly transition from development to production is rising. Meanwhile, the aerospace industry is innovating to reduce reliance on hard tooling, improve first-time quality and minimise rework, highlighting the growing potential of composites across various fields. The event underscored a synergy within the composites sector, with industries increasingly seeking advanced materials sustainability-driven systems, and AI-assisted solutions to enhance production, streamline supply chains and reduce costs.
