Massivit has launched RapidWings—a new turnkey composite manufacturing platform. Established to advance defense production lead times, the platform is operational in Israel and currently scaling operations globally.
Built on Massivit’s Cast-In-Motion (CIM) technology, RapidWings compresses composite tooling lead times into a matter of days. RapidWings partners have reported up to 70% savings in cost, versus conventional metal and machinable-board tooling, according to Massivit.
In the past year, Massivit has reported demand for manufacturing services from defense buyers in Europe, the United States, Southeast Asia, and India. The company is establishing RapidWings, a global network of local, on-demand, sovereign production facilities.
The RapidWings network will consist of regional partnerships, joint manufacturing alliances (JMAs), with certified Tier-2 composite manufacturing facilities. By embedding Massivit’s Cast In Motion digital tooling capability into established manufacturing facilities, JMA partners can advance and scale production without additional capital expenditure.
The first JMA—between Israel-based Comparts Ltd. and Massivit—is currently fully operational, with ongoing defense engagements serving leading OEMs. The RapidWings model allows JMA partners to retain full operational control of their existing business and customer relationships with capability to accept more orders.
Massivit is currently accepting applications from qualified composite manufacturers in the USA and Europe to join its expanding RapidWings network.
“Defense is a necessity worldwide," says Yossi Azarzar, CEO, Massivit. "By cutting manufacturing times, RapidWings’ proprietary technology could save defense and aeronautical companies months and millions. RapidWings marks a strategic milestone for Massivit as we pivot from providing industrial 3D printers to delivering a much-needed Defense manufacturing platform that overcomes bottlenecks and empowers manufacturers to scale.”
RapidWings is a turnkey composite manufacturing platform for Aerospace and Defense — delivering on-demand, certified tooling and structural parts through a global network of Joint Manufacturing Alliance partners.
