Convergent Manufacturing Technologies has integrated its Raven process simulation platform with Renegade Materials Corp. RM-2014-LDk-Tk resin. This update allows engineers to evaluate material cure behavior under specific processing conditions.
Why it matters
By providing standardized simulation tools for the RM-2014-LDk-Tk-4581 prepreg system, the companies aim to reduce development costs and technical risks. The integration streamlines the design-build-certify cycle for advanced materials.
The RM-2014-LDk-Tk-4581 system is officially qualified to the NCAMP NMS201/1 material specification. Engineers utilize these standardized data sets to satisfy structural and electrical design requirements.
The players
Convergent Manufacturing Technologies
Based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, this firm specializes in process simulation technology for manufacturing.
Renegade Materials Corp.
Headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio, this organization develops high-performance prepreg systems for aerospace.
The details
Engineers can now use the Raven simulation platform to predict how the Renegade resin behaves during curing cycles without needing to generate independent design data from scratch. This digital approach is designed to speed up the certification process for complex manufacturing applications.
Timeline
September 21, 2026: Raven simulation became available for the resin system.
The Big Picture
This integration follows the protocols set by the National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP) NMS201/1 specification to ensure industry-wide data consistency. By aligning digital simulations with established standards, the move marks a shift toward accelerating material qualification timelines.
Engineers and product designers can expect faster workflows when verifying the structural integrity of parts using these materials. This reduces the time required to move from initial design to final certification for high-performance aerospace components.
The takeaway
Digital simulation platforms are increasingly essential for reducing the costs associated with physical testing of aerospace materials. Manufacturers that adopt these tools can significantly shorten their product development cycles.
