Advanced technologies for the new space economy

Fidamc drives the development and industrialisation of advanced composite structures for the space sector. We make our engineering, manufacturing and validation capabilities available to manufacturers, integrators and companies within the ecosystem to accelerate the development of new solutions with industrial-grade reliability.

Our expertise is particularly focused on those applications where technical complexity demands highly specialised manufacturing processes.

Distinctive capabilities

One of Fidamc’s key strengths is the automated manufacture of monolithic structures with complex geometries using fibre placement (AFP) technologies, a capability that is rare within the European ecosystem and in particularly high demand for space applications.

These technologies enable the manufacture of high-precision components with superior mechanical performance for next-generation space programmes.

Furthermore, we have industrial facilities, a cleanroom, automated manufacturing equipment, laboratories and engineering capabilities that enable us to develop technologies from the earliest stages through to industrial validation.

Applications

We are involved in the development and manufacture of structural components for various space applications, including:

• Satellite adaptors and dispensers.
• Structures for launch vehicle stages.
• Monolithic components with complex geometries.
• Structural panels for satellite platforms.
• Industrialisation processes for the mass production of space structures.

The Industrialisation of New Space

The space sector’s evolution towards the manufacture of satellite constellations calls for new industrial processes capable of delivering greater efficiency, quality and repeatability.

At Fidamc, we help transform technological developments into scalable industrial processes, reducing risks and facilitating the transition from small-scale prototype manufacturing to more efficient production models.

Our role is to make our engineering, manufacturing and validation capabilities available to the space ecosystem in order to accelerate the industrialisation of new technologies and foster collaboration between materials manufacturers, equipment developers and system integrators in the sector.

Collaboration and innovation

We believe in a model of open innovation in which manufacturers, technology centres and companies collaborate to drive the development of the space sector.

Fidamc acts as a link between the various players in the ecosystem, integrating engineering, process, manufacturing and validation capabilities to turn innovation into viable industrial solutions.

Our experience includes participation in projects relating to advanced space structures, technology demonstrators and automated manufacturing processes, as well as initiatives aimed at the industrialisation of components for future satellite constellations and new space programmes.
