Abstract

Continuous Composites Inc. (CCI) proposes a solution for the AFWERX Manufacturing Challenge (AFX255-DPCSO6) focusing on automation of composite manufacturing, advanced fiber placement, and innovative joining methods for aerospace vehicles and space structures. Utilizing the CF3D Enterprise system, which integrates advanced controls and robotic technology, paired with CF3D Studio software, CCI will develop fiber-steered composite components optimized for unitization and enhanced bonding interfaces. Building on insights from CCI’s America Makes effort and the AFRL PiCARD program, this project aims to demonstrate improved structural integration and bonding performance compared to traditional methods.
