Hand layup Process

Customer Success Story: FireFly Aerospace 

Firefly Aerospace

By: John R. Courter, Director of Structures

"Firefly is working on the largest liquid-fueled, monocoque composite rocket that's ever been built. We are always looking to utilize the most efficient manufacturing techniques to be successful. Technicians need to be more focused on the next part to lay up, rather than complex software interfaces. Our Virtek system (VPS1 laser projector utilizing IRIS 3D software) allows for highly efficient part layup and complex geometries layup with fewer errors. Virtek is a committed partner in helping Firefly get to 1st flight!"

Paint-Masking Application

Customer Success Story: Embraer 

Virtek Vision International ULC & Embraer Executive Jets Partnership
Taking a manual, complex and lengthy process and making it simple and cost-effective with an ROI in less than 6 months.

Embraer Executive Aircraft, Inc., located in Melbourne, Florida increased throughput and improved its paint-masking process by using Virtek Laser Projection Solutions.

“The time savings have been remarkable, our technicians in the paint booth can now layout an aircraft in four hours with two technicians when it used to take 2-3 shifts when working with Mylar templates. Also, the amount of rework has almost been eliminated,” said Scott Groves, Manufacturing Engineer- Paint, Embraer Executive Jets Inc. We are happy to have exceeded expectations with Embraer and wish them continued success in delivering the highest quality aircraft across their fleet.
