The second phase of the funding will support the expansion of this work, enabling full-scale component production and flight testing. This phase will allow CCI to refine production processes, conduct additional testing, and further advance CF3D’s capabilities for high-temperature applications.

CF3D (Continuous Fiber 3D) technology enables the automated manufacturing of continuous fibre composites in near-net shapes, offering precise control over fibre orientation and geometry. This capability facilitates the scalable production of complex parts with enhanced design flexibility and the ability to meet the high-performance requirements of high-temperature applications.
