Autonomy for the composites factory.
Curelum runs the layup → inspect → cure → NDT → assemble loop autonomously — lifting strength and yield while cutting porosity scrap, NDT rework and cure energy. Every ply, perfectly placed.

The problem
The most demanding process on Earth, still run on craft
Every next-gen wing, fairing, eVTOL airframe, hydrogen tank and wind blade depends on laminates lighter than aluminium and stronger than steel — but only if built perfectly. A steering wrinkle, a tow gap, a speck of FOD, or a cure that ramps too fast leaves porosity or residual stress that can silently halve a flight-critical part's strength. Those defects are then hunted by slow ultrasonic and thermographic NDT, often condemning a part that already carries tens of thousands of dollars of carbon fiber and autoclave energy.
- Porosity, wrinkles, FOD and dry spots condemning high-value parts
- Open-loop AFP placement and one-size cure cycles
- Slow, manual NDT and endless rework loops
- A scarce, retiring, security-cleared craft workforce
The solution
One closed loop, from perception to machine control
Seven agents and a laminate-and-cure digital twin close the loop from sensing to bounded machine-and-line control — grounded, auditable, and human-supervised.
01
Perceive
In-process vision, laser profilometry, ultrasonic and thermographic sensing across layup, cure and NDT.
02
Predict
The digital twin and defect models predict porosity, consolidation, wrinkles and part strength before they occur.
03
Place
Autonomous AFP / ATL / robotic layup steers every tow to the qualified envelope.
04
Cure
Adaptive autoclave / OOA control holds ramp, pressure, vacuum and exotherm to target Tg.
05
Inspect
Pre-cure prediction fused with post-cure ultrasonic and thermographic NDT certifies integrity.
06
Certify
Grounded, immutable audit trails make every part traceable and airworthiness-ready.
07
Optimize
Yield, scrap, cure energy and throughput are optimized across the whole factory.
The platform
Six products. One autonomy layer.
Each product owns a step of the loop and compounds the same layup-cure-and-strength data.
Layup & Fiber Placement
Plyoq
Autonomous fiber placement — every tow steered, every ply perfect.
Closed-loop AFP / ATL / robotic layup control: steering, tow tension, gaps, overlaps, orientation, and compaction, sensed and corrected in-process.

Defect Sensing & NDT
Voidra
See every void — porosity, wrinkles, and FOD, sensed and certified.
Predicts porosity, wrinkles, FOD, misalignment and dry spots pre-cure, then fuses ultrasonic C-scan and thermographic evidence post-cure to certify integrity.

Cure & Consolidation
Curevo
Cure with certainty — full consolidation, target Tg, zero porosity.
Adaptive autoclave / OOA cure control — ramp, temperature, pressure, vacuum, exotherm — against physics-informed cure-kinetics and consolidation models.

How it works
Perceive → decide → act → certify
Perceive
High-rate sensor fusion across vision, profilometry, ultrasonic and thermography builds a live picture of every ply and cure.
Decide
Agents reason against physics-informed models and the digital-twin envelope, predicting defects and strength before they happen.
Act
Bounded control loops steer layup, hold the cure, run NDT and drive robots — with human-in-the-loop on flight-critical calls.
Certify
Every action is logged to an immutable, assurance-grade audit trail — airworthiness-ready by construction.
Outcomes
Measured on value, not vanity
Curelum is priced and proven on hard metrics: scrap, porosity, NDT rework, strength consistency, cure energy and throughput. Land on one workflow with a defined success metric, prove ROI, then expand.

Technology
GPU-essential, factory-edge, physical AI
Curelum depends on high-rate sensor fusion, large-scale model training, digital-twin simulation and low-latency inference at the factory edge. It runs on Jetson, Holoscan, TensorRT and Triton on the edge; DGX/HGX, Omniverse, Cosmos and cuOpt in the core.

FAQ
The questions buyers open with
Is it safe to let AI control flight-critical production?
Curelum runs shadow → assist → bounded autonomy inside qualified control envelopes, with human-in-the-loop on airworthiness-critical decisions and an immutable audit trail for every action.
Do we have to replace our machines?
No. Curelum is a perception and control layer on top of your AFP, autoclave, NDT and MES systems, integrating through their controllers and OPC-UA / OT interfaces.
How do we start?
Land on one high-ROI cell in shadow mode to baseline scrap and porosity, prove accuracy and ROI in assist mode, then graduate to bounded autonomy and expand.
How do you handle ITAR and export control?
Curelum deploys in ITAR-ready, isolated configurations; cross-site learning is privacy- and IP-preserving. See the security page for detail.
