“The superior mechanical performance of CF3D, combined with the significant cost and lead time reduction, led to our selection of Continuous Composites,” said Dr. Joel Alfano, principal technology development engineer at Siemens Energy. “The opportunity to replace a metallic generator component with composite materials leveraging AM is a powerful breakthrough for solving the constraints we face in the Energy industry, and CF3D technology is making it possible.”
Tyler Alvarado, CEO of Continuous Composites, said, “The deployment of CF3D for manufacturing generator components is one example where our technology is disrupting current manufacturing processes and replacing metallic parts with high-performance composite materials. Our collaboration with Siemens Energy demonstrates our ability to develop and customize material solutions with stringent mechanical property requirements.”
