The move is said to reflect increasing customer demand for scalable composite structures and deeper collaboration with partners.
COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho—Continuous Composites reported that it has relocated its operations to a new 17,000-square-foot facility at 3875 N. Schreiber Way, Coeur d’Alene.
The new facility more than doubles the company’s manufacturing footprint, supporting Continuous Composites’ growth in advanced composite manufacturing for aerospace, defense, and high-performance applications. It provides expanded capacity for system integration, engineering, and production-relevant composite manufacturing, the company said in a release.
The company said the move reflects “increasing customer demand for scalable composite structures and deeper collaboration with government, industry, and academic partners.”
“We’re building a manufacturing technology intended to support the warfighter, and that requires scale,” said Steve Starner, CEO of Continuous Composites, in the release. “Our previous footprint limited how many systems we could build and support in parallel. This expansion gives us the space to increase production, allowing us to produce 5 times more components and systems, while also giving customers more direct access to the people and infrastructure behind the technology.”
Continuous Composites is working to advance composite manufacturing with CF3D, its patented Continuous Fiber 3D Printing technology. By integrating fiber steering, advanced materials, and automated manufacturing, CF3D is reported to enable high-performance structures with exceptional design agility for aerospace, defense, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications.
The Coeur d’Alene site is configured to support large-format composite systems, digitally defined fiber architectures, and integrated software–materials workflows. It also enables future expansion across applications engineering, customer programs, and collaborative development efforts as CF3D continues advancing toward production environments, according to the release.
