New way for composites

We believe that future is built with composite materials - so we created a technology that can reveal their true potential. With speed and agility of additive technology, allowing to create parts with absolutely zero compromises in geometry and mechanical properties.

Planar base

Nonplanar fiber reinforcement

Nonplanar top smooth polymer layers

Rethink materials

Introducing Continuous Fiber Nonplanary Fabrication (CFNF) - an additive way to create complex parts with super properties, no need of custom molds and weeks of waiting. By using 5-axis continuous fiber reinforcing, we are implementing any-directional in-part anisotropy control for most strength in less mass.

Overcome limitations

Almost zero geometrical limitations compared to fabric or AFP technologies - we made matrix/fiber coextrusion on 5-axis machine to fix material in almost any geometry and direction. Complex nonplanar parts are what we created technology for.

Our process results in most effective fiber layout - all the continuous fiber directions can be pre-engineered on slicing stage.

Full multiaxial layering control

Get prints ready in nonplanar slicer - set optimal printing directions and simulate the result.

Made for high demands

Our goal is to make composites better in existing applications and bring them to places where technological limitations stopped from using them.

Create functional parts for your important projects in one, reliable, full-automated process.

Fast composites workflow

Classic composite manufacturing workflow is expensive in time, money and labor work and requires custom molds for each part. With CFNF we are cutting part production cycle from weeks to hours.
