Composite Cluster Singapore (CCS) is a Singapore based composite engineering office, providing services for the development of high end composite products and technologies. As engineered materials, composite materials must be developed through an advanced R&D process, intimately tying design, analysis and manufacturing studies in a Design for Manufacturing effort. We offer and promote such comprehensive composite engineering as the key to achieving optimal products.

We are proud to help our customers gaining knowledge in composite solutions and supporting them throughout their entire product development process. Our mission is to become a regional competence center to foster the regional composite ecosystem and enable customers for global markets.

At the Paris Airshow 2019 Composite Cluster Singapore Pte Ltd (CCS) and STRATAGEM Innovation Singapore Pte Ltd (STRATAGEM) signed a contract for the proof of concept of a demonstrator for automated inspection and repair of critical composite structures (LAIRD). Stratagem Innovation Singapore is a subsidiary of the Dutch Stratagem Group which has been involved in the development of a new generation of robotic solutions for surface treatment of Aircraft and helicopters over the years.

The relationship between CCS and STRATAGEM will strengthen the research and development relationship between the Netherlands and Singapore and will contribute to the ambitions of both countries in the field of aerospace, export and focus on SME development. The LAIRD project is supported by Enterprise Singapore, an Agency of the Singapore Government that champions enterprise development of start-ups and SMEs.

LAIRD will be part of a new generation of automated solutions for the aircraft MRO industry that will contribute to its long-term sustainability, will anticipate on the significant increase in critical composite structures and will overcome the increasing shortage of skilled professionals. If successful than the current Proof of Concept phase will be followed by a 2-year Proof of Validation phase.
