Composite presses are a type of ball screw press, which are extremely efficient and can save you money and energy.
At Cambridge Dynamics, we provide an extensive range of composite press solutions, which are trusted by countless businesses across the UK.
They’re beneficial for a comprehensive range of industries and uses, but what exactly is a composite press?
Read on as we break down everything you need to know about composite presses.
What is a composite press?
A composite press is a machine that uses high temperatures and huge amounts of force to press two composite or laminate materials together, forming a new desired shape.
This manipulation technique allows you to mould specialist and unique parts for a various range of industries and applications, like aerospace parts or even pieces of jewellery, meaning it’s a highly effective piece of machinery.
What is a composite material?
Composite materials refer to a product manufactured from two or more materials with different chemical or physical properties. By combining these, you can create a new specialist result, which may be stronger, more versatile, or more resistant.
Examples of composite materials include fibre-reinforced plastics, concrete, or engineered bamboo.
What types of composite presses are there?
Composite presses can come in many different forms, including:
- Hydraulic presses – use hydraulic cylinders to create pressure and generate force
- Forming presses – they’re extremely versatile and often use pressure through a hydraulic system between dies to form new complex metal parts with precision
- Custom presses – use extreme control to create specific and intricate designs that aren’t always possible with standard machinery

What are the benefits of a composite press?
Composite presses are renowned for their energy efficiency as they don’t require huge amounts of electricity to run. This is an advantage as it can massively contribute to reducing your carbon footprint and minimising costs.
Using a composite press also means you can form small or detailed parts when required. This is a huge benefit for industries that prioritise durability and need to produce reliable, consistent, and accurate parts, from medical devices to sporting goods.
