Why Choose Fibersim?
Fibersim is purpose-built for the unique demands of composite engineering. It addresses challenges conventional CAD tools struggle with, such as:
-
Managing complex laminate structures, cores, inserts and ply definitions
-
Ensuring manufacturability (layup, draping, splicing, dropoffs)
-
Maintaining synchronization between analysis (CAE) and design
-
Automating documentation, plybooks, and manufacturing output
By using Fibersim, you can reduce time-to-market, avoid costly iteration loops, and improve product quality. In many cases, users report dramatically reduced design and analysis effort—by as much as 80 % in specific tasks.
Faster development cycles
By using Fibersim, you can reduce time-to-market and avoid costly iteration loops.
Cost & waste reduction
Early detection of layup or manufacturability issues avoids scrap and rework
High-quality consistency
Close alignment between design, analysis and manufacturing ensures parts meet specifications
Scalable collaboration
Composite data moves across teams, systems, suppliers and tools with traceability
