EXPERTS IN AUTOMATED FIBER PLACEMENT AND AUTOMATED TAPE LAYING BLADES
Superhard Cutting Edge Quality
Crafts Technology employs high-tech manufacturing to produce tooling and designs that feature the highest quality cutting edges for AFP and ATL blades made of tungsten carbide or superhard steels, which are fabricated to reduce friction, eliminate fiber build-up, and extend wear life.
Our fabrication processes focus on each of the following:
- Cutting Angle
- Relief Angle
- Compound Angle
- Surface Finish of Each Cutting Plane

Coatings
Proprietary coatings available that further enhance the cost per cut and reduce downtime.
- Reduce Friction
- Negate Fiber Build Up
- Enhance Cutter Life
Refurbishing – Value Stream Engineering
Tooling life can be dramatically increased through the refurbishing of precision components and sub-assemblies.
We can develop a custom refurbishing system for your application that delivers significant cost savings with no negative effect on performance.
Our system provides an analysis of every stage of the value stream from Just-In-Time [JIT] inventory management to packaging and ergonomics of tooling returns and replacements.
