ADDX large-format continuous-fiber 3D printing

ADDX‑SCF‑600 is an industrial-grade 3D printing system for structurally continuous fiber-reinforced composites, specifically designed to address the challenges of conventional manufacturing in producing high-strength, lightweight components with complex geometries. Built on a proprietary continuous-fiber co-extrusion technology, the machine integrates high-performance reinforcing materials—such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, and aramid fiber—with thermoplastic matrices (e.g., PA, PC, PEEK) into monolithic composite structures, aiming to achieve lightweight manufacturing by replacing steel with plastics and alloys with composites.

AFP-X Four-Thread Bundle Automated Fiber Placement System

The AFP‑X system is designed for high‑volume production, featuring increased material capacity and advanced sensors to enable continuous, precise operation. It optimizes throughput for complex aerospace‑grade components and large structures. The system is applicable across a range of industries, including the manufacture of high‑pressure pipelines, pressure vessels, and battery housings for energy storage; ship hulls and propellers in the marine sector; chassis and body panels for urban transportation; and wings, fuselages, and engines in the aerospace industry.

AFP-XS monofilament bundle system

As Addcomposites’ flagship product, the AFP‑XS seamlessly integrates automated fiber placement (AFP) with filament winding, enabling a single machine to perform both processes and significantly enhancing equipment utilization and process versatility. The system is equipped with the company’s proprietary AddPath software, which provides integrated functionality for path planning, simulation, and real-time monitoring, allowing R&D teams to swiftly translate design concepts into production‑ready layup operations. Currently, the AFP‑XS has been adopted by composite‑material research institutions and small‑to‑medium manufacturing enterprises, serving as a critical tool for composite material development and low‑volume custom production. It supports diverse applications across aerospace, defense, marine, and materials‑research sectors, lowering the barriers to adopting advanced composite‑manufacturing technologies for both industrial players and academic research organizations.
