Bcomp PowerRibs is inspired by leaf veins, giving maximum stiffness at minimal weight by creating a 3D structure on one side of the thin walled shell element. This cloth allows for less base material to be used, decreasing weight, cost and consumables needed in production. The flax fibre quality, yarn thickness and twist are all highly engineered for optimal mechanical properties. PowerRibs can triple the flexural bending stiffness, decreasing both material use and weight while improving vibration damping.
