Layup Parts

Layup Parts manufactures composite parts using hardware and software automation, compressing processes that traditionally run to months into days. The company describes itself as the fastest composite prototyping service in the world, and claims lead times short enough to deliver parts before competitors can return a quote. Work spans carbon fibre and fiberglass fabrication, tooling manufacturing, and the automation of quoting and checkout, and the company operates with no order minimums.

Its FiberPortal platform streamlines the journey from concept to quote, providing frictionless quoting and online checkout. Technical domains at the company include composites manufacturing, hardware automation, software automation, carbon fiber and fiberglass fabrication, and tooling manufacturing - an engineering stack aimed at removing manual bottlenecks from both production and the commercial workflow around it.

Layup Parts is based in Huntington Beach, California, and serves the aerospace, defense and motorsports industries. Operations are quality-certified to ITAR, AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 standards. The company has raised $9 million, with institutional backing from Founders Fund, Lux Capital and Haystack, and its team comprises experienced founders, product leaders and engineers. It states a commitment to on-time delivery every time.
