Composite Airframe Prototyping
From idea to test – Ready Composite Structures.
Every great UAV starts with an idea — and a prototype. But turning that idea into a flight-ready composite part often means trade-offs in speed, cost, or precision. Not with Scabro.We combine aerospace-grade accuracy with pragmatic tooling strategies. That’s how we build prototypes that don’t just fly — they scale. Whether you need one test article or ten design loops before production: we help you move fast, smart, and production-aware.Already sold your prototype? Even better. We’ll help you scale up without starting over.
Built for Precision and Agility
At Scabro, quality means more than accuracy — it means repeatability, adaptability, and readiness for what's next. We deliver prototypes that meet aerospace standards while keeping timelines short and decisions flexible.Many of our clients are still refining their programs. Some want to test a part, then redesign. Others scale unexpectedly. We’re built to handle this uncertainty — and guide you through it. From the start, we help you make smart choices about tooling and process direction, even if the future is still a moving target.
Engineering That Works
Our team blends applied composite science with decades of aerospace production experience. We’re not just builders — we’re design partners. We spot what might complicate moulding, suggest smarter split lines, and help make your parts easier — and often cheaper — to produce now and at scale.In prototyping, engineering isn’t just about delivery. It’s about foresight.
Tooling That Drives Design
Tooling isn’t a cost burden — it’s a strategic tool. With access to a wide range of composite tooling materials and long-term relationships with leading suppliers (some dating back to 2007), we help you decide wisely: soft tools, hybrid tools, or modular tools that evolve with your program.The right material and method — combined with the right conversation early — prevent delays and redesigns down the road.
Beyond Composites: Full System Prototypes
Scabro doesn’t just deliver carbon shells. We build ready-to-test structures, including:
- UAV wings
- Semi-assembled airframes
- Skin panels for high-speed drones
- Jet engine nacelles
All trimmed, bonded, contoured, and painted — and if needed, delivered with wiring, antennas, or sensors integrated.
And again, it starts with tooling: our background helps us propose moulding strategies that reduce rework, support changes, and prepare you for future volume.
Whether it’s the first prototype or a flight-ready demonstrator — we build it like it matters.
Because it does.
