Multi-Material Additive/Subtractive Manufacturing

The project led by Structural Composites, Inc. aims to transcend the limitations of current additive manufacturing systems by developing a multi-material additive and subtractive manufacturing system. This innovation seeks to integrate thermoplastics, composites, and metals Ś materials typically used in existing additive subtractive processes Ś with advanced materials like CoCureÖ thermoset and high-strength concrete. The resulting system would enable the production of diverse solutions, significantly broadening the potential applications in fields such as aerospace, defense, and infrastructure. The integration of these materials into a unified system would represent a substantial leap forward in manufacturing capabilities, offering unparalleled versatility and performance.
