Pioneering Together - Ending 40 Years of Tradition to Set a New Composite Benchmark for Aerospace Manufacturing and Repairs

Composite repair thermal control still relies on a 40-year-old thermocouple-based approach that is complex, time-consuming, and highly dependent on expert technicians. To address this, Airbus and RVmagnetics introduce a new method for out-of-autoclave composite repair, replacing multiple thermocouples and complex wiring with a magnetic sensor pad that delivers real-time curing temperature heat maps. The solution improves accuracy, reduces repair turnaround time and maintenance costs, and supports reliable, high-quality composite rework across MRO and production environments.
