Continuous Composites and Arkema are partnering, through the chemical giant’s Sartomer business line, to combine Continuous Composites’ patented continuous fiber 3D (CF3D) printing technology with Arkema’s cutting edge photocurable resin solutions, thus providing many interesting new options for continuous fiber composite AM.

 .

CF3D technology redefines traditional manufacturing introducing a solution that brings composites to new industries . The process is unique on the market today in that it combines composite materials with a snap-curing 3D printing process to create a moldless, out-of-autoclave manufacturing technology. The result is a scalable technology that significantly reduces the cost of manufacturing with composite materials. Thus igniting the growth and adoption of manufacturing with composite materials, CF3D can help to decrease lead times, reduce manual labor, remove the need for expensive capital equipment, and enable complex geometries to be printed.

With endless commercial applications, CF3D elevates composite manufacturing into the next dimension of innovation. […]
