How it works
A thermoplastic matrix forms the geometry while continuous carbon or glass fiber is placed along planned paths to reinforce selected layers and regions.
CFC TECHNOLOGY
Continuous Fiber Co-extrusion
A manufacturing approach that combines thermoplastic 3D printing with continuous-fiber reinforcement inside selected regions of the part.
Why fiber direction matters
Continuous fiber performs best along its reinforcement direction. Geometry, load paths, holes, interfaces and print orientation must therefore be evaluated as one system.
Material selection
PA-CF, PETG, PC, PEEK and PPS systems can address different temperature, toughness and environmental needs. Availability and suitability are confirmed per project.
Responsible performance claims
There is no universal strength value for every printed part. Performance changes with matrix, fiber volume, fiber path, geometry, print parameters and test direction.
