ARMOUR
Where Wood Meets Composite Materials.
Moitech®’s patented technology combines the aesthetics of solid wood with the performance of composite materials. Armour was born from the integration of woodworking expertise and advanced composite material technologies. Through a production process developed by Moitech®, solid wood is transformed into a component that retains its natural aesthetic value while gaining the lightweight properties, stiffness and mechanical strength typically associated with carbon fiber and composite materials.
The result is an exclusive product that goes beyond the limitations of traditional solutions.
THE PRODUCTION PROCESS
The entire process is managed in-house to ensure maximum quality and precision at every stage of production.
DESIGN
Definition of the shape, geometry and structure according to the project requirements.
WOOD PROCESSING
The solid wood is machined to create the raw component, including internal hollowing and preparation of the supporting structure.
COMPOSITE LAMINATION
Integration of carbon fiber and composite materials onto the wood.
AUTOCLAVE
High-pressure and high-temperature curing for maximum strength.
FINISHING
Surface finishing while preserving the natural grain of the wood. Quality control.
FINISHED COMPONENT
A unique component: lightweight, strong and refined in appearance. Armour creates components that combine the elegance of wood with the performance of composite materials.
UNIQUE FEATURES
Lighter
Armour reduces the weight of the component compared to traditional solid wood solutions, without compromising strength.
Natural Aesthetics
The solid wood retains its natural appearance, including its grain, shapes and authentic finishes, even after processing.
High Strength
The composite material layer provides the component with the mechanical strength typically associated with carbon fiber.
Custom-Made
Dimensions, wood species and geometries are defined during the design phase to suit each specific application.
Advanced Patented Technology
The Armour production process is patent-protected and is the result of years of in-house research and development by Moitech®.
Made in Italy
Every stage, from design to manufacturing, is carried out in-house at Moitech®’s facilities in Italy.
APPLICATIONS
Armour is the ideal solution for applications requiring the perfect balance between design and performance.
Marine
Furniture components and technical details for boats, where the aesthetics of wood are combined with the lightweight properties of composite materials.
Interior Design
Custom-made interior elements combining the warmth of solid wood with the mechanical performance of composite materials.
Contract
Solutions for high-end contract projects, where design, customization and lightweight construction are key requirements.
Racing
Lightweight technical components for racing applications, where every gram saved contributes to performance.
Design
Objects and furniture accessories with a strong aesthetic value, designed for those looking for a unique and distinctive material.
MORE ABOUT ARMOUR
Armour preserves the authentic appeal of solid wood, enhancing its natural grain, shapes and finishes. Each component retains the identity of the natural material while offering high performance and significant weight reduction.
Every project is developed around the customer’s requirements. Dimensions, wood species, geometries and structural characteristics are defined during the design phase to create unique components that are perfectly integrated into their application.
Each component also follows a highly specialized manufacturing process that includes:
- Project analysis and technical development
- Component design
- Solid wood processing
- Internal hollowing and preparation of the supporting structure
- Lamination with composite materials
- Autoclave curing
- Finishing and quality control
The entire process is managed in-house to ensure maximum quality and precision at every stage of production.
Armour creates components that combine the natural elegance of wood with the performance of composite materials, opening up new design possibilities where aesthetics, lightweight construction and strength must coexist in a single solution.
