SAMPE China 2026 has concluded. During the exhibition, SIMECO exchanged views with peers and clients on composite‑material technologies and real‑world processing challenges.

Advanced composites face common machining bottlenecks: thermal processing damages fiber‑resin interfaces; conventional cutting generates heavy dust unsuitable for labs; custom samples and small‑batch parts struggle with precision and high mould costs.

As a cold‑processing solution, waterjet cutting avoids heat‑affected zones to preserve composite microstructures and mechanical properties for reliable test‑sample results. Supported by OMAX® Intelli‑MAX® software, it handles diverse materials and complex profiles dust‑free for labs and high‑end production lines.

SIMECO showcased the compact ProtoMAX® all‑in‑one waterjet system for composite sample preparation, R&D prototyping and small‑batch precision machining. Requiring only water and power, it delivers stable accuracy for composites, metals, ceramics and glass with manageable operating costs, ideal for laboratories and R&D centres.

Material advancement calls for matching processing technologies. Contact SIMECO for your composite‑machining requirements.
