Rethinking How Composite Parts Are Designed and Built
JEC Composites sat down with Brennon Wilsey, Sales Engineer at Continuous Composites, to discuss how CF3D® is redefining composite manufacturing—from fibre steering to software automation and full-stack system integration.
The interview explores how CF3D bridges the gap between traditional composite layup and digital, on-demand production—combining robotic motion, custom resin systems, and anisotropy-aware software into a unified ecosystem. Brennon explains how Continuous Composites is developing advanced analysis and optimization tools for anisotropic materials, enabling engineers to design, simulate, and print structurally optimized parts that perform as predicted—before the first tow is laid.
“We develop the software that enables precise fibre steering, the resins that meet performance demands, and the machine that brings it all together. Every system we build is shaped around the customer’s specific application—not the other way around.”

The article delves into the company’s full-stack approach—CF3D Studio for anisotropic-aware design, PolyMat™ and CeraMat™ for advanced resin performance, and the CF3D Enterprise robotic cell for automated, continuous fibre placement and UV snap-curing. It also highlights the company’s roadmap toward anisotropic FEA, design automation, and production-scale validation for aerospace and defense.
