en.Wedoany.com Reported - Israel's Massivit has launched the RapidWings turnkey composite manufacturing platform, designed to save time and costs for the defense and aerospace industries. Already operational in Israel, it is now expanding globally. Based on the proprietary Cast-In-Motion (CIM) technology, the platform significantly shortens composite tooling lead times, compressing processes that once took three months into just days in some cases. Partners report cost savings of up to 70% compared to traditional metal and machinable sheet tooling.
Against the backdrop of surging global defense budgets, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and manufacturing giants in the defense industry face severe backlogs due to unstable supply chains and outsourcing restrictions. Over the past year, Massivit has received growing demand for manufacturing services from defense buyers in Europe, the United States, Southeast Asia, and India. The company is building a global RapidWings network consisting of local, on-demand sovereign production facilities focused on overcoming manufacturing bottlenecks in the defense sector. This network is composed of regional partnerships under the Joint Manufacturing Alliance (JMA) and certified secondary composite manufacturing facilities. By embedding Cast In Motion digital tooling capabilities into existing facilities, JMA partners can accelerate and scale production without additional capital expenditure.
The first JMA is a partnership between Israel-based Comparts Ltd. and Massivit, now fully operational and continuously providing defense services to leading OEMs. Based on completed projects, the RapidWings platform reduces production tooling cycles from months to days through Cast In Motion automation technology, helping to overcome backlogs. This model allows JMA partners to retain operational control over existing businesses and customer relationships while gaining the capacity to accept more orders. Completed projects also show tooling cost reductions of 40% to 70% compared to traditional tooling methods. Massivit is now accepting applications from qualified composite manufacturers in the United States and Europe to join its RapidWings network.
Massivit CEO Yossi Azarzar stated that by shortening manufacturing times, RapidWings' proprietary technology can save defense and aerospace companies months of time and millions of dollars, marking the company's strategic transformation from an industrial 3D printer supplier to a defense manufacturing platform provider. Retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Chris Athearn noted that the greatest weapon is a factory's ability to produce weapons faster than they are consumed, and Massivit's unique technology can significantly shorten manufacturing times to boost production capacity. Reserve Brigadier General Gabriel Shachor added that security agencies cannot afford to wait months for critical composite structures, and RapidWings reduces cycles from months to days, addressing the demand for mass production of unmanned vehicles. According to industry forecasts, the global unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market is valued at approximately $47.6 billion this year and is expected to grow to around $160 billion by 2034, with an annual growth rate of about 16.4%.
