WEBINAR: Scaling Innovation – How Continuous Fiber 3D Printing is Shaping the Future of Manufacturing
Composite 3D printing is one of the fastest growing AM sectors, offering parts with the strength and characteristics of metal at the weight of plastic. But not all composite AM processes are created equal. That is why in this 3Dnative webinar, we were joined by ADDMAN and Continuous Composites to dive specifically into the key advantages of continuous fiber 3D printing technology and its role in modern manufacturing.
The webinar included a number of important topics an introduction Continuous Fiber 3D Printing (CF3D) technology and its unique capabilities; an in-depth discussion on how this technology enables the production of high-strength, lightweight components for industries like aerospace, automotive, and defense; a closer look at key applications where CF3D offers the most value, including complex geometries, performance-driven parts, and rapid prototyping; and finally insights into how ADDMAN and Continuous Composites are collaborating to scale this technology and bring cutting-edge solutions to the market.
We welcomed Mike Shaffer from ADDMAN and Josh Randles from Continuous Composites to help us to delve more into these issues. ADDMAN Group is a premier contract manufacturer, offering a wide array of additive manufacturing services including metal and polymer 3D printing, alongside injection molding and CNC machining.
