Continuous Composites' CEO on showing the world what Continuous Fiber 3D Printing is capable of
“It’s extremely important for us to show the world what our technology is capable of.” This is the conclusion Tyler Alvarado, the CEO of Continuous Composites, made when carrying a complex carbon fiber 3D printed sample part across the RAPID + TCT trade show floor in 2017. He was met with a tonne of questions about a technology, Continuous Fiber 3D Printing (CF3D), that was still in development, still operating behind the curtain, and perhaps better demonstrated than explained.
