MacFarlane Matthews is uniquely positioned to support the production of; hollow, structural composite parts a specialty few can match. 

 

We support a variety of internal molding techniques, including:

  • Air Bladder Molding

  • EPS Over Latex Cores

  • Wax Cores

  • 3D Printed Melt-Out Cores

  • Silicone Cores

Prototype to Production Support

Whether you're building a single development unit or preparing for a limited production run, we provide hands-on support to help you move efficiently through every stage of the build process.

 

Our approach aligns material selection, tooling strategy, and supplier coordination to meet your specific timeline, performance, and cost targets.

Global Manufacturing Network

With firsthand experience in factories across North America, Europe, and Asia, we understand how to source and scale composite production globally.

 

Our extended network of trusted small and medium sized manufacturers allows us to match your project with the right partner based on capability, cost, timeline, and quality requirements.

 

We help you navigate the trade-offs and build a supply chain that supports both agility and scalability.
