The many advantages of FibreLine include the significant reduction in factory footprint and logistical complexity. Further to this, it streamlines the downstream assembly process, saving on time and resources. Through the drastic increase in material deposition rates, FibreLine customers are able to use just one set of mould tools with one set of tolerances in their manufacturing operations, whilst still meeting next-generation production targets. This means significantly less shimming and a simplified assembly when compared to AFP methods that need to use multiple sets of mould tools to match the FibreLine rate.
£250 million investment into UK aerospace projects
At the Paris Air Show 2025, the Minister for Industry in the UK, Sarah Jones, announced £250 million (€290 million) investment into cutting-edge green aerospace technology projects, in order to accelerate sustainable travel.
This includes £15.8 million (€18.3 million) in funding to the National Composites Centre for the ‘High-Rate Manufacture Capital Acquisition Project’, awarded by Department for Business and Trade, Aerospace Technology Institute and Innovate UK. This will go towards expanding the NCC’s capabilities in next-generation composite aerostructures and wing technology. Loop Technology is delighted to see this commitment and confidence in high-rate composite manufacturing technology and look forward to using our FibreLINE systems to help reach industry production targets.
Vision guided robotics
Loop Technology is specialised in vision guided robotics and has in-depth knowledge of 3D path planning, localised correction, calibration and metrology. The mechanical and software engineering teams use 3D cameras, image processing, sensors and artificial intelligence alongside innovative software solutions to deliver advanced industrial vision solutions.
These vision systems facilitate highly accurate, repeatable advanced manufacturing automation. This technology is used for applications such as object recognition, labelling, motion targeting, measurement, inspection, tracking, scanning and process optimisation. Furthermore, we have several products that leverage our expertise in machine vision including IdentifEye, VerifEye, RealPath, FibreEye and Bravura.
Collaboration with Bournemouth School for Girls Robotics Club
It was ‘International Women in Engineering’ day recently and Loop Technology celebrated the women in engineering roles.
The company also announced a collaboration with BSG robotics, the largest all-girl robotics club in the UK, based at Bournemouth School for Girls. They have gained a lot of attention in recent years – in 2023 they became the first UK team ever to win a gold medal at the first global challenge whilst over the past year the club has delivered STEM workshops to 4,000+ young people, including 3,000 primary school pupils. Recently, they competed in the nationals of the first Tech Challenge UK Championships 2025, with Team Ultraviolet placing 2nd for the Motivate Award, alongside many other achievements from the girls!
