Composites and mouldings
Composites and mouldings covers composite and carbon-fibre parts and GRP mouldings: freeform, tooling-led products made to a customer's shape.
Freeform, tooling-led composite work does not configure, but most composite businesses also carry repeatable lines: panels, enclosures and profiles where the shape is fixed and the dimensions, layup or finish vary. Those configure and price cleanly.
This category enters through the bespoke build service, built around exactly those repeatable lines, so the tooling-led work stays quoted by hand while the repeat products order themselves.
How it divides
The buyer configures. You stay in control.
A configurator moves the typing to the buyer and keeps every rule, rate and limit in the seller's hands.
What the buyer sets
- Panel or profile dimensions
- Layup or grade options
- Finish
- Quantity
What stays in your hands
- Which lines go online
- Layup and process limits
- Rates and pricing formulas
- Tooling-led work stays quoted by hand
What it covers
Example configurable products
- GRP panels and enclosures to dimension
- Composite profiles cut to length
- Repeatable moulded product lines with dimensional options
Inside a configurator
From parameters to a dispatched order
One runtime carries every category: typed inputs, a cited AI, live 3D, a priced breakdown, manufacturing files and dispatch into your systems.
Parameters
Typed inputs with live rule checks
AI
Cites its source or abstains
3D model
Rebuilds as values change
Price
Line-by-line breakdown
Export
Manufacturing files and PDF
Dispatch
Into your ERP or CRM
Custom categories
Your product line on the same runtime
The four launch configurators and every custom category share one engine, so a new product inherits everything the live ones already prove.
- Tell us the product line
- What you make, the parameters that vary, the rules you check and how you price it. If it is dimensioned and quoted repeatedly, it fits.
- We build it on the live runtime
- Your configurator inherits live 3D, engineering rules, pricing formulas, cited AI answers, manufacturing exports and ERP or CRM dispatch from day one.
- Your team configures and orders
- Against your stock and your rates, with every order landing in your systems, priced by the rules you set.
Questions
About this category
- Freeform composite parts do not sound configurable. What is?
- The repeatable lines are: panels, enclosures, profiles and mouldings where the shape is fixed and the dimensions, layup or finish vary. Those configure and price cleanly.
