Pro CNC
Pro CNC is expanding by commercializing various composites technologies by utilizing our extensive internal composites knowledge base and engineering capabilities, while leveraging our current assembly services, machining expertise, and world-class quality certifications including ISO-9000 and AS9100. A recently facility expansion has enabled Pro CNC to vertically integrate its capabilities to serve various composites markets while creating cradleto-grave solutions spanning from R&D and prototyping to engineering, part design, analysis, and ultimately to composites tooling, finished production composites parts, machined composites, and composite-intensive assemblies. Processing capabilities and internal expertise includes bladder molding, press-clave curing, autoclave curing, out-ofautoclave processing, resin transfer molding, preforming, thermoplastic composites, thermoset composites, resin infusion, compression molding, energy-converting composites, ballistic armor, automotive composites, aerospace composites, sporting goods design and production, and materials and processing R&D. Pro CNC looks forward to serving your complete design and manufacturing needs for machined and now composites components and assemblies with our innovative, proprietary, and custom-engineered solutions

the exclusive supply of non-crimp carbonfiber fabrics to the BMW Group for the BMW i3 (Megacity Vehicle, battery-electric vehicle) and BMW i8 (plug-in hybrid sports car), the first series vehicles using a significant amount of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics. A state-of-the-art carbon fiber plant has started its production in Moses Lake on 60 acres of land in September 2011. During the initial phase, US$ 100 million will be invested and 80 local jobs will be created. Hence one decisive criterion for the site selection was the possibility to use “green energy”. All the electric energy required for the carbon fiber production is provided solely by hydro-electric power.
