Bcomp to develop lightweight composite space parts

Selected amongst the winners of the "Call of Ideas 2013" of the Swiss Space Center (on behalf of the Swiss Space Office), Bcomp was awarded one of ten grants to develop thin-walled composite structures with improved stiffness- and damping properties.

About us:

Our fine organization is based in Fribourg, Switzerland. Its history goes back to 2003, when one of the founders was producing the first fat powder skis on a carbon fibre base. Two ambitious engineers contacted him to improve the existing ski core structure.

With plenty of endurance during infinite garage research nights and powder weekends, the friends developed novel fibre composite technologies and discovered the advantages of natural fibres. This was the spark for the idea to produce performing sustainable products for the Sports & Leisure industry.
