Bright Lite Structures (BLS) is a design and manufacturing company that has developed a patented composite carbon fiber technology. The BLS solution weighs significantly less than conventional carbon fiber (or aluminium and steel), is capable of make very large 4 meter by 4 meter components, or even larger. It is capable of very complex shapes that may not be otherwise possible with conventional carbon fiber or aluminium. BLS carbon fiber meets demanding aerospace and rail requirements. The BLS solution is lower cost than conventional carbon fiber and even aluminium in a number of applications. It is less capital intensive than comparable conventional carbon fibre, aluminium or steel. The BLS solution has a very short manufacturing cycle, even for very large components. There is no pre-forming required in the process. It is also fast to commercial production and scales easily. BLS offers a complete solution from design through prototyping to commercial production.
