1. Product Development and Prototyping

Turning Ideas into Manufacturing Solutions

At XIRAPLÁS, we support our customers in transforming initial concepts into functional composite products, combining technical expertise, manufacturing experience, and a practical approach to product development.
From technical drawings and 3D modelling to CNC-machined prototypes and master models, we coordinate the different stages of development, taking into account product geometry, material selection, manufacturing feasibility, and production requirements.
Our experience allows us to identify suitable manufacturing solutions, refine product designs, and prepare components for mould manufacturing and subsequent serial production.
Whether working from an existing design or developing a new concept, our goal is to deliver practical, reliable, and cost-effective solutions tailored to each customer’s needs.

4. Hand Lay-Up Manufacturing

Versatile Composite Manufacturing for Complex and Customized Components

XIRAPLÁS has extensive experience in hand lay-up manufacturing, a versatile composite production process particularly suited to customized components, complex geometries, and a wide range of product dimensions.
Working with different reinforcement materials and resin systems, including polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resins, we adapt material combinations and laminate configurations to meet each project’s mechanical, functional, and surface finish requirements.
This manufacturing process offers considerable flexibility in the production of both small and large components, making it particularly suitable for prototypes, low-volume production, and specialized industrial applications.
By combining skilled craftsmanship with established manufacturing procedures, we deliver tailored composite solutions with a strong focus on product quality, durability, and consistency.

5. RTM Light Manufacturing

Controlled Composite Manufacturing for Consistent Quality and Precision

XIRAPLÁS specializes in RTM Light (Light Resin Transfer Moulding), a closed-mould manufacturing process that enables the production of composite components with controlled resin distribution, consistent quality, and high-quality surface finishes.
This technology is particularly suitable for components requiring dimensional consistency, repeatability, and more controlled manufacturing conditions, offering advantages for both customized applications and serial production.
By combining carefully selected reinforcement materials and resin systems with appropriate mould design and process parameters, we manufacture components tailored to each project’s technical, mechanical, and aesthetic requirements.
Our experience in RTM Light manufacturing allows us to provide reliable production solutions, balancing component performance, manufacturing efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

6. Surface Finishing & Painting

Delivering Tailored Composite Solutions Across Multiple Industries

XIRAPLÁS provides a comprehensive range of surface finishing and painting solutions for composite components, combining technical expertise with careful attention to detail and product presentation.
Our capabilities include gelcoat application, surface preparation, sanding, filling, priming, and painting, allowing us to achieve finishes tailored to each customer’s aesthetic, functional, and technical requirements.
From smooth, high-gloss surfaces to customized colours and specific finishing specifications, we adapt our processes to suit different products and applications, including components with complex geometries and large dimensions.
By integrating surface finishing and painting into our manufacturing operations, we offer customers greater flexibility, consistent quality control, and the convenience of receiving components ready for their intended application.
