Carbon-Fiber 3D Printer Targets Mass Production of Drones and Aircraft Parts
Key Takeaways
- Illinois-based Impossible Objects secured $40 million to expand a high-speed carbon-fiber 3D printing platform.
- The technology is aimed at mass production of drones and aircraft parts rather than prototyping.
- Carbon-fiber additive manufacturing has historically struggled with fiber placement, build speed, and repeatable properties.
- Drone manufacturing is a near-term market because it favors rapid iteration and modest volumes.
