Case Study: Kongsberg

Defense Application

Norway-based Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA), a long-time Virtek customer, has been using Virtek’s laser projection systems in production facilities since early 2000.

"Our production site in Kongsberg, Norway has multiple laser projection systems that support complex programs with major international customers,” said Lars Kveseth, KDA’s Director Technology, Aerostructures. “Virtek’s solutions have enabled us to surpass our cost and quality targets.”“For example, we are currently using Iris ActiveTrack technology for laser-assisted masking in our surface preparation department and are experiencing significant throughput improvements expected to reduce costs by 20 percent."

Case Study: Firefly
Aerospace

Hand Layup Process

Firefly utilizes the most efficient manufacturing techniques. 

"Firefly is working on the largest liquid-fueled, monocoque composite rocket that's ever been built. We are always looking to utilize the most efficient manufacturing techniques to be successful. Technicians need to be more focused on the next part to lay up, rather than complex software interfaces. 
Our Virtek system (VPS1 laser projector utilizing IRIS 3D software) allows for highly efficient part layup and complex geometries layup with fewer errors. Virtek is a committed partner in helping Firefly get to 1st flight!"
