shapewave industries BV

Shapewave Industries BV is at the forefront of manufacturing innovation, specializing in the creation of structural inflatables of any shape. Based in the Rotterdam area, Shapewave Industries BV is revolutionizing industries by enabling the construction of precise and robust inflatable structures. Their groundbreaking Shapewave® technology, protected by patents, allows for the design and production of internal structures within inflatable parts. These internal structures consist of thousands of precisely measured tapes bonded between the top and bottom membranes, defining the inflatable's final form.

Shapewave Industries BV's Shapewave® inside constructions are lightweight, stiff, and resilient, capable of withstanding pressures exceeding 1 bar. This unique technology rivals the stiffness and smoothness of drop-stitch inflatables while offering superior shape definition, lower weight, and reduced packed-down volume. The adaptability of Shapewave® inside parts extends to morphing capabilities through double-skin sections acting as pneumatic actuators, ideal for camber wing sails and wing control surfaces. Available in a diverse range of membrane and webbing materials, Shapewave® inside constructions find applications in wings, rotors, sails for energy, lift, and propulsion, as well as hulls and nacelles in maritime settings. Further applications encompass shelters, awnings, and mandrels for composites tooling.

Shapewave Industries BV’s Shapewave technology represents a new construction paradigm, merging the advantages of inflatable parts – affordability, durability, and storability – with precise shape definition and morphing potential. As a rapid manufacturing technology, it ensures short lead times and eliminates the need for jigs and molds. Located in the Rotterdam area, Shapewave Industries BV invites you to explore the possibilities of Shapewave technology for licensing, with a dedicated team of designers and engineers ready to assist in your application's success. We encourage the manager of Shapewave Industries BV to create a customized and exclusive company showcase and product listing on our platform to further enhance Shapewave Industries BV visibility.
