WINCHAM, England May 4, 2021 A collaboration between two of the United Kingdom’s leading experts in textile machinery has been launched to demonstrate the capability of new winding technology used in the manufacture of composite parts.
The Northwest Composites Centre (NWCC), which is part of the University of Manchester’s Department of Materials, and composites technology company Cygnet Texkimp announced the major new research project to benchmark Cygnet Texkimp’s Multi Axis Winder (MAW) and 3D Winder technologies against their two closest alternative technologies, braiding and traditional filament winding.
The research will be undertaken by the NCCEF, the commercial arm of the Northwest Composites Centre which provides independent, accredited testing and qualifying services to the aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, marine and wind energy industries, including all major primes and Tier 1 and 2 suppliers.

The Northwest Composites Centre (NWCC, Manchester, U.K.), which is part of the University of Manchester’s Department of Materials, and composites technology company Cygnet Texkimp (Northwich, U.K.) have announced a new research project that will demonstrate the damage tolerance and impact resistance of composite parts manufactured using Cygnet Texkimp’s multi-axis winder (MAW) and 3D winder technologies compared to parts created using braiding and conventional filament winding.
The research will be undertaken by the National Composites Certification and Evaluation Facility (NCCEF), the commercial arm of the Northwest Composites Centre which provides independent, accredited testing and qualifying services to the aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, marine and wind energy industries, including all major primes and Tier 1 and 2 suppliers.
