Higher strength. Lower prices.Made in the U.S.A.

Stop bolting together machined and cut parts. ARRIS® molds them as one: stronger and lighter than titanium, at Asian laminate prices. Same stiffness as aluminum, 5× the strength.

Production volumes: from quote to 1,000s of parts in 45 days.

What we make

Composite Structures

Drone arm
Drones (UAVs)
Arms & motor mounts
Stiffness-matched to your current arm, often combined with the mount.
Drone propeller
Drones (UAVs)
Propellers
Molded carbon fiber props, matched to the arm and guard so the rotor set comes from one source.
Prop guards
Drones (UAVs)
Prop guards & ducts
Single-piece guards that replace multi-part assemblies.
Frames and brackets
Drones (UAVs)
Frames & brackets
Drop-in replacements for cut laminate plates, held to tighter tolerance.
Rails and mounts
Drones (UAVs)
Rails & mounts

Drones (UAVs)
Consolidated airframes
Complete structures molded as one part. 17 parts became 1 on a drone airframe.
Drone landing gear
Drones (UAVs)
Landing gear
Skids and legs molded as one piece with the mounting bosses in. No bonded tube-and-fitting assembly.
Structural bracket
Aerospace & Defense
Structural brackets
Lighter replacements for machined titanium and aluminum hardware.
Carbon fiber spokes and tie rods
Cycling
Spokes & tie rods
High-volume tension members, 100% mechanically tested before they ship.
Carbon fiber footwear plate
Footwear
Footwear plates
Carbon fiber plates for performance running and work footwear.
