At Add-X, we are developing manufacturing technology that redefines what’s possible in composite materials.
Raw Materials
Raw materials that you know. The combination of processing continuous fibers and thermoset resins with basics of additive manufacturing providing composite products with unparalleled multi-directional reinforcement.
Continuous fibers
Glass fibers are affordable and offer excellent insulation, making them perfect for construction and automotive applications.
Carbon fibers boast a remarkable strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness, making them the top choice for aerospace and high-performance sports equipment.
Kevlar fibers are renowned for their exceptional tensile strength and impact resistance, commonly used in bulletproof vests and protective gear, providing manufacturers with tailored solutions for their specific needs.
Thermoset resins
Resins used in composite manufacturing are crucial for enhancing the performance and longevity of advanced materials across various industries, including aerospace, marine, and automotive.
They provide cost-effective solutions with excellent bonding properties, rapid curing, and resistance to environmental and chemical challenges. This versatility allows manufacturers to select the most suitable resin for producing high-quality, reliable composite products tailored to specific needs.
Innovations
& Advantages
Composite materials, reinforced with continuous fibers, boast exceptional strength – often surpassing that of steel. E.g. traditional pulltrusion technology aligns fibers in a single direction.
Now imagine if you could put the fiber in any direction you need.
Fiber composites are renowned for their lightweight properties due to the low density of resins and fibers. Topological optimization push the boundaries more further.
Our goal is to achieve unparalleled weight reduction while maintaining structural integrity.
Composites excel in resistance, combining resins and fibers to create materials that withstand corrosion, weather conditions, chemicals, and magnetism.
This resilience ensures long-term performance and reliability in diverse environments.
We are developing our technology to revolutionize design possibilities by allowing fibers to be oriented in any direction within three-dimensional space.
This flexibility enables the creation of highly complex and customized objects that traditional methods cannot achieve.
Similar to additive manufacturing, our technology eliminates the need for molds. Instead, it utilizes digital models as templates for production.
This approach not only reduces costs associated with mold storage but also streamlines the manufacturing process.
Our automated production process ensures precision, repeatability, and cost efficiency.
By minimizing the need for manual labor and optimizing material usage, we drive down operational costs while maintaining high standards of quality.
Handling resins—often toxic—requires stringent safety measures. Our automated system processes resins with no direct human contact, using UV-curable resins that are safely contained within the technology.
The UV curing process ensures that emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are nearly eliminated.
Our approach to production integrates automation, mold-free manufacturing, and precise material deposition, resulting in significant cost savings.
By optimizing every aspect of the process, we deliver exceptional value while reducing waste and overhead.
