Advanced Digital Workflow Solutions for Composites Manufacturing – Zünd at CAMX 2026
At CAMX 2026, Zund America will showcase integrated digital manufacturing solutions designed to improve efficiency, precision, and traceability in composites production. By integrating job preparation, cutting, sorting and kitting workflows, manufacturers can optimize material utilization, reduce manual processes, and enhance process reliability throughout production.
At CAMX 2026, Sept. 22-24 in Atlanta, GA, Zund America will demonstrate how digital cutting workflows support more efficient composites manufacturing. Visitors to booth L18 will experience solutions ranging from intelligent nesting, cutting, sorting and kitting to automated large-format aerospace production, highlighting both workflow-driven manufacturing efficiency and large-format production capabilities for advanced composite structures.
Maximizing Material Utilization Through Intelligent Nesting
Digital cut-job preparation and intelligent nesting software help composites manufacturers maximize material utilization by optimizing part placement while accounting for material defects, irregular stock shapes, and production requirements. By automating nest creation and material planning, manufacturers can reduce waste, improve consistency, and support more sustainable production practices.
Increased Visibility and Traceability Through Connected Data
Digital workflows depend on accurate information moving seamlessly through production. By connecting job information, material data, and manufacturing processes, Zünd solutions help composites manufacturers improve operational transparency and traceability throughout the production cycle.
Integrated workflow solutions provide operators with the information they need at every stage, reducing manual handling while supporting greater process reliability and repeatability. The result is a more efficient production environment with improved control over even the most complex composites manufacturing operations.
Automated Cutting and Kitting Workflows
Zünd solutions help composites manufacturers streamline production by integrating digital job preparation, cutting, and kitting processes into a connected workflow. By reducing manual steps and improving the flow of information throughout production, manufacturers can achieve greater efficiency, process reliability, and consistency while maintaining the flexibility required for high-mix, low-volume production environments.
Aero Q-Line for Large-Format Aerospace Applications
Sharing the booth with Zund America, Loop Technology will showcase FibreLINE®, an advanced automated manufacturing system for large composite structures integrated with Zünd's aerospace-specific Aero Q-Line. Designed for high-rate production environments, FibreLINE automates the preforming process by cutting, sorting, and sequencing large plies of carbon fiber and other composite materials before shaping and placing them into molds for downstream processing.
As an integral part of this industrial workflow, Aero Q-Line enables seamless production cell integration (M2M interface) and maximum processing efficiency. With its advanced engineering, it processes even the most challenging materials with exceptional precision and process reliability. Its single-beam architecture and modular length enable uninterrupted cutting of large-format parts.
Integrated Solutions for Composites Manufacturing
Together, Zund America and Loop Technology demonstrate how integrated digital workflows, intelligent cutting, automated kitting, and advanced material-handling solutions can help composites manufacturers reduce waste, increase productivity, and create more connected and efficient production processes, scalable to large-format industrial applications.
