Eng. Andrea Salomi, Eng. Silvio Pappadà and the Eng Giuseppe
Zanzarelli of Cetma Composites talk about how they became leaders in the
development and production of products for freediving sector.
I’m Andrea Salomi, one of the founding members of Cetma Composites, a
spin-off of CETMA Technologies, Design and Materials European Research
Centre. For several years our work has been to develop innovative
materials and processes for Italian and International industry, in areas
such as aerospace, aeronautic, automotive. Today Cetma Composites is
leader in the development and production of products for freediving
sector. We were the first to apply an engineering approach, turning
products with low technological content, although widespread, into very
innovative articles produced with advanced techniques. Using innovative
materials and processes we succeeded in producing ” free of defects”
products.
The performance of composite structures, differently from
other materials, depend on the quantity of defects present into the
structure… and for defects we mean “voids” and “delaminations”. Having
a product with a beautiful finish, especially if painted, does not
exclude the possibility of the presence of these defects into the
internal structure. In CETMA COMPOSITES, thanks to more than
twenty-years experience in Research and Development activities in
composite materials sector, we developed advanced techniques that allow
to minimize the defects content within composite parts. In addition we
have advanced diagnostic equipment that can verify the defects content
within the composite structure.
We start from the CAD design of the
components and then we carry out structural analysis using Finite
Elements Software. Thanks to these softwares we maximize the efficiency
of design, distributing the stiffnesses with extreme accuracy.
D.R.S.
Dynamic Resonance System is the new system that made us famous
all-over-the world and consist to put the fin working in the resonant
mode with the finning frequency of the swimmer, allowing a significant
muscular energy saving. Even tough our brand and our products model are
famous all over the world, our research of new technologies and
materials goes on to offer to our customers leading products…and we will
continue to surprise you with lots and lots of novelties...
