Convergent Manufacturing Technologies, Inc (Vancouver, BC) and its US based partner Convergent Manufacturing Technologies US Inc (Seattle, WA) are industry leaders in digital manufacturing solutions for composites. From pre-manufacturing composites process simulation and materials characterization to process monitoring, Convergent’s products and services help make composites manufacturing more efficient and lower risk at every stage. Convergent’s flagship composite process simulation software, COMPRO, came out of research done in the Composites Group at The University of British Columbia over 20 years ago. Since then, Convergent has added RAVEN, LIMS, and KERMODE to develop a software suite that makes robust composite simulation accessible for a wide variety of end users. Along with our strong connections to industry, Convergent has established close ties to universities and research centers worldwide with the aim to bring the latest advancements in academia to engineering practice. |
