The Briefing Room — Episode 5
Precision isn’t a feature. It’s the difference between overbuilding and engineering with intent. Steve Abbott breaks down how CF3D gives engineers exact control over continuous fiber placement—aligning strength to load paths and eliminating the “just in case” material that legacy composites rely on.
Smarter structures. Less waste. Higher performance where the mission demands it.

What We Can’t Talk About Is Coming to Huntsville.
This brand short captures the world CF3D was built for — missions that don’t trend, programs we can’t name, and performance that lives behind the curtain.
At the CF3D Tech Tour, we pull that curtain back.
Join us for a hands-on look at the platform shaping next-generation aerospace and defense programs: hardware, software, materials, and the fiber-steered structures designed for extreme environments.
CF3D Tech Tour — March 11
Auburn University Research & Innovation Campus, Huntsville

The Briefing Room — Episode 2
CF3D isn’t just a system—it’s a convergence of product and process innovation.
Steve Abbott explains how placing wet-out fiber and snap-curing the geometry in real time creates a manufacturing approach built on precision and intent.

The Briefing Room | CF3D Insights from the Team
We’re opening a window into the engineering logic behind CF3D—the work we can talk about.
Short. Technical. Mission-focused.
Episode 1 drops today.
NEWS: @Auburn University just leveled up its advanced manufacturing game. Their Huntsville Research & Innovation Campus now operates a CF3D Enterprise cell—bringing automated continuous-fiber composite manufacturing into one of the fastest-moving hypersonic ecosystems in the country. Full release: https://t.co/z5GjRmrvvZ
New hardware. Deeper engineering. This year’s CF3D Tech Tour in Huntsville is a Distro D briefing—because the details finally warrant it. @Auburn’s new CF3D Enterprise system will be running. March 11. DD2345 required. Register: https://t.co/IfSXficmv6
We’ve been quiet here, but not in the shop. A quick look at what we’ve been up to: advancing continuous fiber architectures with the repeatability and control our programs demand. #CF3D#DefenseManufacturing
We were honored to visit Capitol Hill to meet with @SenatorRisch, Senator @MikeCrapo, @CongMikeSimpson , and Rep. @RussFulcher We were also fortunate enough to further our collaboration with our neighbors to the west by meeting with Washington State Rep. @cathymcmorris office.
We are excited to announce our participation in the TechConnect World Innovation Conference & Expo, in Washington, D.C. later this month.
Sophia Avery, Kyle Stromberg, Scott Lisk, Patrick McHail, and James Yaru, will all be in attendance.
If you’re attending let's connect!
We had so much fun attending the Winton Elementary Career Fair as part of our Continuous Community initiative. We were absolutely thrilled to showcase our groundbreaking CF3D® technology, setting ablaze the dreams and aspirations of young, aspiring engineers.
The networking opportunities at RAPID + TCT were incredible. Our VP of Sales & Marketing, Sophia Avery, had the privilege of meeting with the America Makes team. As new members of this organization, we're excited to create meaningful connections within the America Makes network.
We couldn't be prouder of our Director of Application Engineering, Nathan Stranberg! Nathan delivered an impressive technical presentation on "Design and Additive Manufacturing of a Continuous Fiber Iso Grid Structure" at RAPID + TCT.
We are thrilled to announce our participation in the upcoming RAPID + TCT Conference in Chicago next week!
If you're attending RAPID + TCT, we'd love to meet up with you. Leave us a comment and let us know!
We are excited to be included on this list of disruptors! It’s great to receive recognition as we continue to push the boundaries of additive manufacturing with CF3D®.
