Reinforce 3D
The Continuous Fibre Injection Process (CFIP) is the first technology based on reinforcing the part after the Additive Manufacturing (AM) process instead of during it.
Reinforce3D operates in the additive manufacturing sector, focusing on enhancing the mechanical and lightweighting performance of 3D printed parts through its proprietary Continuous Fibre Injection Process (CFIP). This post-process technology injects continuous fibers, such as carbon fibers, into tubular cavities within the printed parts, followed by curing to solidify the resin as a mechanical interface. This method allows for fiber placement in all directions, even between printing layers, and enables integral joining of different parts with fiber continuity, resulting in ultrahigh joining performance. Reinforce3D serves industries requiring high-performance, lightweight structures, including aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. The business model likely involves licensing its patented CFIP technology to manufacturers or providing reinforcement services directly. Revenue is generated through technology licensing fees or service contracts. The company’s market is characterized by a demand for advanced materials and processes that enhance the capabilities of 3D printed components.
