The disruptive CF3D solution shifts the paradigm on manufacturing with
speed, affordability and automation.
C
F3D combines the power of
high-strength, low-weight composite
materials with rapid curing resins to
create a mold-less and out-of-autoclave
manufacturing solution, shifting the par-
adigm on how composites are utilized
across industries. Due to high barriers
to entry, coupled with costly manufac-
turing constraints, composite materials
are traditionally only found in high-end
applications and premium products.
Composite manufacturing is now afford-
able and automated through Continuous
Composites’ advanced CF3D solution
comprised of hardware, software, mate-
rials and motion platforms.
Additive Manufacturing (AM), com-
monly referred to as 3D printing, de-
scribes manufacturing technologies that
build 3D objects by “adding” layer-up-
on-layer of materials.
