Composite Engineering & Composite Material Design
We enable the targeted use of the outstanding material properties of thermoplastic fiber composites.
Our experts have extensive materials know-how and help you think of everything when you choose fiber composites.
Full Composite Material Lifecycle
From raw materials (fibers and polymers), design and suitable manufacturing processes, to final component testing and qualification:
We have broad expertise in fiber-reinforced composites and can competently guide your composite project through all phases.
Fiber architecture & load paths
We specialize in the design and layout of fiber composite components with continuous and discontinuous fiber architecture.
Especially in the field of discontinuous fiber reinforcement, the company uses models developed in research collaboration (FHNW) to predict material properties.
Mechanical analysis
Thanks to state-of-the-art FEM tools, we are able to analyze the mechanical properties of complex multi-body structures.

CAD Design
We develop and design with the latest version of SolidWorks Professional. SolidWorks is widely used in various industries and guarantees excellent performance in the design of simple to complex 3D geometries.
Material design, textures & surfaces
Our experts have extensive materials know-how and help you think of everything when you choose fiber composites.
We help you with material selection and configure thermoplastic composite material for you according to your specific product requirements.
This allows us to create unique surface finishes, textures and functional open surfaces for your product.
Eco Design
For years, we have worked on the recyclability of our products to achieve a successful cradle-to-cradle cycle without downcycling. CrossTEQ composite components are fully recyclable and therefore contribute significantly to the conservation of natural resources.
Thanks to our practical knowledge of the eco-design of composite parts, we can support you with questions such as:
-
How do you avoid using metal inserts or rivets?
-
Which fiber architecture is easiest to recycle?
-
What types of polymers are the best choice for your part?
The elimination of metal inserts in all CrossComposite products not only results in more environmentally friendly monomaterials, but also in significantly lighter components.
Form, functionality, properties or esthetics: What are your challenges?
Provide some non-binding information via the form or visit our competence center. We will be happy to advise you in all phases of your Verbund project.
The CrossComposite competence center for thermoplastic fiber composites
« High-performance Lightweight » since 2012
CrossTEQ offers customer-specific 360° production solutions for lightweight components made of thermoplastic fiber composite and specializes in material design and automated compression molding of complex 3D molded parts.
In the CrossComposite Competence Center, we develop our own application-specific production technologies and the corresponding special equipment and molding tools for this purpose.
