Reducing the environmental impact of a foil starts at the design stage. At Avel Robotics, the AFP process (Automated Fiber Placement) allows fiber to be deposited exactly where it is needed, with a precision that traditional processes cannot achieve. Result: a significantly reduced material waste rate regardless of foil geometry, combined with production without a […]
Today, sporting performance can no longer be considered without taking into account its environmental impact. At Avel Robotics, foils have an environmental impact 30% lower than conventional manufacturing. A result achieved by integrating eco-design from the very beginning: material selection, AFP process optimization, manufacturing method control. These are the levers that Avel develops and puts […]
Avel Robotics announces the signature of a development contract with AURA AERO as part of the ERA program, the 19-seat hybrid-electric regional aircraft. The partnership covers the design and production of the wing and carbon composite structural components. A pioneer in decarbonized aviation, AURA AERO designs and manufactures aircraft aimed at accelerating the decarbonization of […]
Avel Robotics is further developing its activities in the aerospace and space sectors with the signing of new aerospace contracts and the opening of a commercial office in Bordeaux, effective January 2026. This new location is part of a strategic effort to be closer to industrial players in these markets, which are particularly active in […]
– Improve the thermoplastic formulation.– Improve the performance of the material and its processing.– Demonstrate the production of a primary structure exceeding four metres in length. By drawing closer to the benefits of thermoplastic matrix composites in the aeronautical sector, the thermoplastic foil project has set the ambitions of the consortium. Although connected to vastly […]
A reprentative of the Avel Robotics company was present in Les Sables d’Olonne earlier this week for the arrival of the magnificent Vendée Globe, which our Technical Director Adrien Marchandise was a part of. He reflects on this incredible moment: “What a chance it was to witness the arrival of Charlie Dalin and Yoann Richomme! […]
Avel Robotics’ IMOCA Hydrofoil will be exhibited on Toray Carbon Fibers Europe’s booth N°H01 in Hall 5 at JEC World, the leading international composites show in Paris to be held from 5th to 7th March 2024. The IMOCA hydrofoil from Team ‘Initiatives Coeur’ has just returned from the transatlantic race Jacques Vabre. Initiatives Coeur, skippered […]
The foil market is taking off Avel robotics, mainly known as « Avel » is a referenced hydrofoil manufacturer on the competitive sailing market. Already seven Imocas equipped with « Avel » foils will be competing in the next Vendée Globe and the company pursues its development fast: its turnover has doubled in 2022. New products available […]
The CCI de Bretagne devotes a report to Avel Robotics and its constant search for performance and innovation on its Bretagne Économique website. “An in-depth review of the industry of the future: Avel Robotics, in Lorient, has begun the production of new generation composite parts, known as 4D composites. By digitizing the manufacture of composite […]
We decided to invest in the future, because we are convinced that the sector has strong potential and that business will pick up again. “Avel Robotics very quickly made a name for itself in offshore racing in Lorient, with its foils produced by robot. The start-up hopes to strengthen their reputation by the purchase of […]
The Vendée Globe is one of the craziest and most challenging races. It is unrelenting on the body and the boats, which must be capable of withstanding the 40,075 kilometers (21,638 miles) sailed by the skippers. 33 contenders will be at the start of the race on Sunday, 8 November. 33 men and 33 boats, […]
Robotic Fiber Placement Model: Kuka C1 8 fibers * 6.35mm Maximum dimensions: 8m x 3m x 3m (LxWxH) Lay-up accuracy: +/- 0,2mm; 0.1° The work done by our robot has the following advantages: Better quality for the same weight The production strictly adheres to the part’s design. Robotic lay-up results in improved mechanical characteristics Faster production […]
The submarine base in Lorient is a legacy of a very bloody Second World War. It has now been converted to form a vital part of the city’s economic and cultural life. The inhabitants of Lorient have taken possession of this 25-hectare concrete fortress, now referred to as Lorient La Base, and its brownfield sites […]
