About
Continuous Composites is a pioneering advanced manufacturing company that has developed CF3D®, the world's first continuous fiber 3D printing technology. Headquartered in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, the company was founded in 2015 and has since established itself as a leader in composite manufacturing solutions for aerospace and defense applications. The company's patented CF3D technology enables the real-time deposition and curing of continuous fiber composites, fundamentally transforming what is possible in advanced manufacturing. By combining continuous fibers - primarily carbon fiber - with industrial polymers, CF3D produces parts with directional strength comparable to metal while maintaining significant weight advantages. Continuous Composites serves mission-critical sectors including hypersonics, aerospace, defense, space, commercial, and automotive industries. Through technical development, proven applications, and strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Siemens, Arkema, and Saint-Gobain, Continuous Composites is scaling its technology for production-relevant manufacturing. The company has secured substantial funding, including a $17 million Series A financing led by B. Riley Venture Capital, and multiple government contracts including U.S. Air Force awards exceeding multi-million dollars to advance high-temperature materials for demanding applications.
