Composite Design and Software for FRP Structures and Laminates
We are composites specialists and a design house that specializes in FRP/composite design. We mostly work with engineering firms and manufacturers. Working with a composite design is a very esoteric skill. We have been working with and designing with FRP and composites since 1998. FiberDesign offers designs for both FRP Structures and Laminate projects. Please feel free to visit the site pages for details. Finally, any questions, please drop us a note or call.
