Scientific instrumentation
Low-material-budget supports, precision structures, detector-mechanics components, and integration hardware.
Capabilities / Composites
Advanced composite structures for one-off and low-volume applications.
Material architecture, geometry, interfaces, and manufacturing method are developed together to produce useful hardware—not just a laminate.
Composite manufacturing
From laminate architecture to functional parts.
CoolTek specializes in technically demanding composite work where low mass, stiffness, thermal behavior, dimensional stability, interfaces, or unusual geometry matter more than production volume.
- Carbon-fiber composite laminates and tailored layups
- Panels, shells, tubes, stiffeners, and sandwich structures
- High-conductivity heat-spreader laminates
- Bonded assemblies, inserts, and precision interfaces
- CNC finishing, trimming, drilling, and integration support
- Prototype tooling and process-development work
Specific material systems, tolerances, process controls, inspection requirements, and lead times are established for each project.
Representative applications
Where lightweight, tailored structures matter.
Thermal management
High-conductivity laminates, heat spreaders, and composite structures whose directional thermal performance matters.
Aerospace & space R&D
Low-mass structures and prototypes developed with environmental, thermal, and dimensional constraints in view.
Research heritage / materials & structures
See the material, interface, and finished hardware.
These research-group examples illustrate the materials and structural experience that helped motivate CoolTek.
Carbon foam + CF skin
Microscopy of a low-mass foam/laminate interface used in detector-cooling development.
Laminate microstructure
Multi-scale microscopy used to understand material architecture and process behavior.
From laminate to hardware
Finished support geometry illustrating precision features, interfaces, and integrated composite design.
Examples shown in this section were developed through the Jung Research Group at Purdue University and illustrate the technical R&D heritage that motivated the formation of CoolTek. They are not presented as CoolTek customer deliverables, and their inclusion does not imply Purdue University endorsement of CoolTek.
