T raditional additive man- ufacturing is limited by weak materials, slow processes, and small build volumes from the machines. Due to these con- straints, 3D printed applications are typically only used for rapid prototyping, fixtures, toys and non-machinable parts. The inno- vation found in CF3D solves all these limitations, enabling 3D printing to be a viable manufac- turing process for the future. Combining all the benefits of composite materials and addi- tive manufacturing processes with none of the constraints, CF3D is the future of manufac- turing. FEBRUARY | MARCH 2020 ISSUE NO. 13 53
