Innovating for High-Volume Composite Manufacture

Cygnet Texkimp continues to push the boundaries of composite manufacturing with breakthrough technologies that make advanced materials more accessible, affordable, and sustainable.

Our Direct Melt Thermoplastic Prepreg Line – the first commercially available system of its kind – enables high-speed, large-scale production of thermoplastic tapes and sheets using standard polymer pellets (from polypropylene to PEEK).

This innovation allows manufacturers to:

  • Produce lightweight, recyclable composites at industrial scale.

  • Simplify production by eliminating complex resin preparation steps.

  • Reduce cycle times and material costs.

  • Maintain consistent, aerospace-quality resin distribution and mechanical performance.
