Reinforcing 3D Printed Parts with Continuous Fiber Injection Process | Formnext 2023

Startup Reinforce3D is commercializing a technique for strengthening 3D printed parts after the printing process. The company’s Continuous Fiber Injection Process (CFIP) feeds carbon fiber through channels in 3D printed (or conventionally manufactured) parts along with composites-grade resin that acts as both lubricant and and adhesive once cured. The process can strengthen polymer parts, reduce the weight of metal components, and be used to join together multiple pieces in an assembly.

love it! this is great. was a little confused, I never dreamed U filled the ''hollow frame''. & no need to add ''infil'' wow! crazy cool ! definitely ''the next step'' in fabrication!!

I like this idea. I hope to see more of it in the future.

I'd think building the resin/fiber feed lines as "support" material would be the best way to automate infusion. Then every part could have a standard connector and it'd all be code in a slicer/plugin.
