Design Concepts (Sarasota and Cape Coral, Fla., U.S.) spotlights its advanced infusion part fabrication capabilities. This is an increasingly in-demand process that enables manufacturers to produce lightweight, high-strength fiberglass and carbon fiber parts with optimal consistency and reduced waste. Infusion supports tight control over resin content, improved surface finish and labor efficiency, making it ideal for both structural and cosmetic components across marine, transportation, simulation and industrial markets.
This capability is a key pillar of Design Concepts’ vertically integrated model, which spans design, engineering, tooling and composite parts manufacturing. The company works with customers from initial concept through final production, helping streamline development cycles and simplify supply chains.
With more than 40 years of experience in the composites industry, Design Concepts operates seven five-axis CNC mills and two three-axis routers to support precision tooling and part fabrication. The company specializes in CNC plugs, composite molds (both open and closed) and direct-to-mold solutions. Additional services include CAD design and engineering, plug and mold building, digitizing and reverse engineering, scale models, first article and prototypes, to full-scale composite part production.
Design Concepts also serves as a trusted private-label manufacturing partner, producing fiberglass and carbon fiber components for OEMs in industries such as marine, wind energy, aerospace, military, transportation, entertainment and simulation. While the company does not focus on flight-critical aerospace structures, it can deliver high-quality, non-structural components and tooling for the sector.
Design Concepts invites attendees to explore how its infusion capabilities, combined with deep technical knowledge and in-house production infrastructure, help reduce time to market and elevate composite part performance.
