CarbonForm’s 3D Fiber Tethering (3D FiT) technology is built for high-performance structural applications—leveraging real materials, not shortcuts. Unlike many additive methods that rely on brittle UV-curable resins or chopped fiber fillers, 3D FiT uses continuous fiber reinforcement and genuine thermoset resin systems to deliver industrial-grade composite parts.

  • Continuous Fiber Reinforcement
    Our process supports a variety of continuous fibers, including:

    • Carbon Fiber for superior strength-to-weight performance

    • Glass Fiber for durability and affordability

    • Natural Fibers (e.g., flax, hemp) for bio-based, renewable options

    This continuous reinforcement ensures true structural load-bearing capability far beyond what chopped or short fibers can achieve.

  • Thermoset Resin Systems
    We utilize commercial-grade thermosets such as epoxies, vinyl esters, and even bio-based resins—designed for mechanical robustness, thermal stability, and long-term performance. These are not brittle UV-cured resins but real crosslinked polymers capable of meeting aerospace and automotive standards.

  • Sustainability Commitment
    Through material efficiency, fiber deposition control, and compatibility with recyclable and renewable feedstocks, 3D FiT opens pathways for sustainable composite manufacturing. We are actively integrating natural fibers and bio-resins to reduce environmental impact while maintaining performance.

Whether the goal is maximum structural efficiency or eco-conscious design, CarbonForm’s material strategy delivers strength, durability, and flexibility—all without compromise.
