ADDMAN Group and Continuous Composites have partnered to integrate Continuous Composites’ CF3D technology into ADDMAN’s suite of additive manufacturing capabilities. This integration enables ADDMAN to offer both Carbon-Carbon composite and refractory alloy printing services, making it the only service bureau to offer this capability. The CF3D machine uses a continuous dry fiber impregnated with a rapid-curing thermosetting resin to print large-scale composite parts. The technology allows for precise, high-temperature printing of complex designs with structural and functional fibers tailored for demanding applications. The partnership serves to address customer feedback, which has emphasized the need for both Carbon-Carbon composites and refractory metals like Niobium C103 to support advanced applications. The integration of CF3D technology also allows ADDMAN to provide optimized solutions for performance and weight, delivering mission-critical components that meet the stringent requirements of hypersonic systems. The companies will host a webinar on December 3 to showcase this technology and its potential to shape the future of manufacturing in aerospace and defense.
ADDMAN Group and Continuous Composites join forces to accelerate the development of 3D printing technologies for hypersonic vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
