CFIP: carbon fiber for 3D printing<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

CFIP, a\u00a0new post-process that multiplies the mechanical properties of the parts<\/h2>\n<\/div>

The Continuous Fiber Injection Process (CFIP)<\/strong> is a new post-processing technology developed and patented by Eurecat, which enables to reinforce parts with continuous fibers, multiplying in this way the mechanical properties while reducing the weight. It is based on injecting the continuous fibers simultaneously with liquid resin inside tubular cavities in the part.<\/strong> Once cured the part, the solidified resin works as a mechanical interface between the fibers and the rest of the part.<\/p>\n

The fibers trajectories are determined by the trajectories of the tubular cavities, which can be freely designed and manufactured in all directions following complex trajectories thanks to 3D printing. It allows to reinforce parts made with any type of material, including plastics (rigid or flexible), metals or ceramics.<\/strong> In this way, the technology makes possible to manufacture, for example, a titanium part reinforced with continuous carbon fibers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Ultra-high joining performance<\/h3>\n<\/div>

It also enables to integrally join different parts by providing fiber continuity between them,<\/strong> achieving in this way ultra-high joining performance. This allows the manufacturing of multi-material and multi-process structures<\/strong>, selecting the most efficient material and process according to the requirements in each zone of the structure.<\/p>\n

These are some of the most notable advantages<\/strong> of CFIP technology:<\/p>\n
