Additive manufacturing provides almost unlimited freedom in design but to date, material properties have not been comparable to the high load-bearing capacities of carbon fibre composites, which play to their strengths when the load acts preferentially along the fibre direction.

Cikoni’s AdditiveCARBON technology allows the realisation of hybrid structures in a combined and fully automated manufacturing approach in which the carbon fibre reinforcement directly follows the load paths and the additive base structure serves as support for compressive loading.
