Compositadour is a forward-thinking technology platform specializing in advanced processes such as Composites, Robotics, and Additive Manufacturing. By utilizing CompPair's cutting-edge ultra-fast repair technology, Compositadour has created saddles that deliver exceptional performance and sustainability.
Through careful process development and life-cycle analysis, these healable saddles were designed as high-performance components while focusing on environmental sustainability. The ability to quickly repair damage from impacts, such as stones or falls, helps extend the lifespan of the product and reduces waste.
Compositadour’s saddles highlight the potential of advanced manufacturing processes and demonstrate how sustainable innovation is shaping the sports and leisure industry.
Ultra-fast in-situ repair, completed in just 1-2 minutes, effectively minimizes both downtime and waste, ensuring quick restoration and continued performance. Additionally, the design features a reduction in mass without compromising strength, which not only contributes to a lighter saddle but also enhances the overall riding experience, providing improved comfort and agility.
Although widely used in the aerospace, automotive, wind and sports industries, composite materials tend to become brittle due to their composition. Since there are few solutions to effectively repair these materials, damaged items often have to be replaced, resulting in wasted material. To address this problem, CompPair has created a structural composite that can repeatedly heal small damages, reducing repair time from several hours to a few minutes, while being compatible with most current manufacturing processes. In addition to its self-healing properties, Smart Prepregs are crack resistant and highly recyclable. By reducing maintenance costs, increasing product life and being recyclable, Smart Prepregs provide a highly versatile and durable solution for the composites industry.
