The Dunstone Company

Dunstone Company specializes in high-performance shrink tape and film-based solutions for composite manufacturing, enabling improved part quality, consolidation, and process consistency. Our materials are engineered for demanding applications including out-of-autoclave processing, high-temperature environments, and thermoplastic systems. We work closely with engineers and manufacturers to solve compaction, void reduction, and surface finish challenges across a wide range of composite processes. Dunstone’s products are used in aerospace, industrial, and advanced manufacturing applications where reliability and repeatability are critical. With a strong focus on manufacturing process development, we provide practical, scalable solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing tooling and production workflows. Whether optimizing new programs or improving legacy processes, Dunstone helps customers achieve better performance with greater efficiency.

Temper Inc.

Temper develops next generation material processing equipment and tooling, that is capable of processing materials faster and at more accurate temperatures than existing processing methods. These magnetic fields are used either directly or indirectly to process these materials. As an indirect material processing method, these magnetic fields consolidate and/ or mold parts by coupling into the tooling surfaces, that enable them to heat at 1000 deg F/minute and cool at 200 deg / minute. To date, we have demonstrated: * Thermoplastic carbon fiber materials can be rapidly produced in tape, fiber weave, or chopped to temperatures as high as 790 deg F, in minutes (not hours). Process is capable of temperatures of 1000 deg F, holding temperatures of +/- 10 deg F. * Titanium powder can be densified using solid to solid phase transformation at 1700 deg F, in a die cavity using material rejected from the 3D printing industry because of its grain size into 99.99 percent dense parts in minutes * We have proven that materials that are thought to be unformable steels such as High Hard Armor, can be formed into shapes with interior bend radiuses as small as 3T. * Thermoset carbon fiber materials, can be debulked out of the autoclave, to +/- 6 deg F, in 1/10 the time as conventional process. (170 deg F) * Thermoset carbon fiber materials, can be co-consolidated / adhesively bonded in complex shapes. (250 to 480 deg F) * Thermoplastic carbon fiber materials can be co-consolidated. * Aluminum and Magnesium sheet material can have its material properties in strength (+ 100%) and stiffness (+50%) at the same time.
