Multi-Axis Continuous Fiber Extrusion Tool
THE CHALLENGE
Traditional composite processing methods such as wet layup and pultrusion struggle to create small, detailed shapes with properly aligned carbon fibers. While 3D printing with short carbon fibers improves strength slightly, the chopped fibers limit their full potential. Continuous carbon fiber 3D printing works well for simple, flat printing...

Unlocking True 3D Printing Potential
xt-align:justify">THE CHALLENGE
3D printing has transformed industries by enabling the use of Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques. Unfortunately, most 3D printing is done by sequentially printing two dimensional layers; this means that classic 3D printers are unable to fabricate parts with complex load paths. The weaknesses introduced at layer interfaces...

Robotic Aerial Vehicle Fabricator
THE CHALLENGE
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), or drones, are critical for a wide range of applications from data acquisition to delivery. Due to prioritization of high production volumes, current drone manufacturing methods utilize injection molded parts, require human operator inspection, and are postured to only produce one-size-fits-all drone designs....
