Processing
Advanced Composites

Large Scale Model Manufacture

Our customers have used large scale models to showcase products and prototypes at exhibitions and airshows. Composite models have also become increasingly popular in the TV and film industry, with the lightweight construction and modular design having obvious logistical advantages.

Traditionally models have been made from plywood, steel frames and polyester fibreglass, finished with paint.

AMEL has taken inspiration from aircraft design and manufactures our large scale models with structural skins supported by a secondary support frame.

Automotive and Motorsport

Our customers in the automotive and motorsport industry are looking for ways to improve appearance and performance. Composites offer structural and weight benefits with a stylish finish. Our services include: production mould design, small to medium scale batch production including structural and non structural components and laser scanning reverse engineering .

Marine

We provide our customers with large structural marine components. Services we provide include:

large scale structures - hulls and decks
Internal structural components - bulkheads, longitudinal and transverse structures

Aviation

AMEL is supporting Swift Aircraft with the launch of a new sustainable British aircraft that could lead the way across the globe in military and commercial aviation. This is supported by a contract with the UK MoD under Project Monet and a DASA innovation loan. We are the sole supplier for all of the composite manufacture requirements, including tooling, components and material testing.
