Continuous Fiber 3D Printing The Next Dimension of Innovation
A fundamental shift in composites manufacturing.
CF3D® combines high-performing composite materials with rapid curing thermoset resins to create complex parts on demand. With the ability to print both structural and functional fibers, Continuous Composites presents a new future for additive manufacturing with composites.
CF3D® is comprised of hardware, materials, software, and configurable motion platforms to harness the power of composites without the constraints of traditional manufacturing. Composites manufacturing is now affordable with limitless material combinations, net shape printing, and part optimization across all industries.

As the additive manufacturing landscape continues to expand, CF3D® shifts the standard by making 3D printing a viable, end-part manufacturing solution. CF3D® is fully automated, scalable, efficient, and tailorable to the user’s applications.
Freedom of Design
Prints fibers in all three dimensions with continuous anisotropic material, enabling complex geometries.
Low Cost
Fully automated, affordable raw materials, high material yield, and elimination of extensive labor resulting in lower manufacturing costs.
Scalable
Build volume of machines can be increased or decreased for part application.
Limitless Material Combinations
Tailorable fiber + library of resins to create endless material combinations specific to user’s application.

Paradigm-changing composite technology comes to aerospace engineering
A new piece of equipment was recently installed at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign bringing the latest technology in additive manufacturing to campus. Unlike the better-known plastic or metal additive manufacturing, this machine can print large and lightweight structural composites like those used in aerospace structures. It is the first continuous fiber 3D printer by Continuous Composites to be installed outside the company and in academia.
