COPRO Technology developed continuous roll forming machines that reduce composite preforming costs by up to 35 percent. The company selected the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on cloud with CATIA for modular machine design, concurrent engineering, and design history reuse. This approach supports rapid customization for aerospace, automotive, and industrial customers while avoiding heavy IT investment.

Key takeaways

Roll forming process adapted from metals to CFRP reduces preforming costs up to 35 percent

Modular CATIA design enables reuse of standard modules across customer-specific machines

Cloud 3DEXPERIENCE platform supports concurrent engineering and single source of design data

Startup-friendly subscription model eliminates IT infrastructure and admin overhead

Platform supports future expansion into BOM management and structural analysis with ENOVIA and SIMULIA
