The ATL Kit Process
At ATL Composites, your project becomes our project. Our Sales, Engineering, and CNC Kitting teams work directly with you from concept through production to roll out, ensuring every kit is engineered for accuracy, efficiency, and long-term performance.
With ISO 9001:2015-certified processes, in-house resin formulation, advanced kitting technology, and decades of composite expertise, we deliver kits that streamline construction and elevate build quality.
Before cutting begins, we work with you to define the critical success factors for your build.
- Clarify the performance requirements, design priorities, and project objectives.
- Establish core selection — thicknesses, densities and structural properties — from your engineering brief.
- Provide 3D models or detailed 2D drawings with notes, core transitions, bevel placement, and angles.
- If required, ATL can assist with structural design considerations and optimisation.
- Where drawings aren’t available, our team can help capture geometry, reference lines, and mould offsets to begin the kit design.
This early alignment ensures the kit system is integrated correctly across the structure, reducing revisions and accelerating production.
Together, we review every factor that influences kit accuracy and build efficiency
- Preferred manufacturing process (vacuum bagging, infusion, secondary bonding, etc.).
- Geometry, panel layout, bevels, rebates, and core coverage strategy.
- DuFLEX® panel type, surface finish, and reinforcement configuration.
- Tolerances, datum points, and nesting preferences.
- Lay-up sequencing and recommended starting points for assembly.
- Packaging, labelling, and delivery instructions.
- Supply frequency and kit batching for production workflow.
Early collaboration dramatically reduces downstream changes — saving time, material, and labour.
Following the collaboration meeting, ATL develops and presents the full kit design proposal.
- Detailed panel layouts and routing strategy.
- Comparison of resin usage, weight, and production efficiency when selecting between kit types.
- Clear quotation outlining panel formats, CNC operations, finishing details, and material selections.
Once approved, ATL proceeds to prototype production incorporating all confirmed specifications — including bevels, grades, thicknesses, and core-to-skin transitions.
Your prototype DuFLEX® kit is manufactured in our Gold Coast facility.
Depending on complexity, an ATL representative can attend the fit-up to observe interface points, tolerances, and assembly flow. Any optimisation discovered during this stage is incorporated into the final design to ensure seamless production for subsequent kits.
After all refinements are complete, we lock in the final design and move into full production.
- CNC-routed DuFLEX® panels manufactured to approved specifications.
- Quality-checked, packaged, and labelled for installation efficiency. Ongoing design adjustments incorporated through continuous communication with the ATL Sales and Kit Team.
At ATL Composites, our commitment doesn’t end with delivery — it continues throughout your build.
Our professional team is dedicated to the continual advancement of composite technology and to supporting our customers in achieving optimal performance from their materials and processes.
From project inception to final assembly, ATL offers ongoing technical assistance to help you leverage the full structural advantages of the ATL Kits. Our experienced engineers and technicians are available by phone or email for guidance on product selection, handling, and application. For more complex builds, on-site construction and process support can also be arranged to ensure consistent, high-quality results and long-term durability.
Whether you’re building your first composite structure or refining established production workflows, ATL’s technical expertise and collaborative approach ensure your success across every stage of the build lifecycle.
