Reinforce3D is a new start-up aimed to further develop and commercialize the Continuous Fibre Injection Process (CFIP) technology.

 

CFIP is a new post-process technology which drastically improves the mechanical and lightweighting performance of 3D printed parts by reinforcing them with continuous fibres such as carbon fibres.

 

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. It consists on injecting the continuous fibres simultaneously with liquid resin inside tubular cavities in the part. After this, the part is cured so that the resin, once solidified, finally acts as a mechanical interface between the fibers and the rest of the part.
