Continuous Fibre Reinforcement (CFR) can revolutionise engineering workflows by enabling the substitution of machined components with carbon fibre 3D printing. CFR offers advantages over traditional FFF, such as increased stiffness, impact resistance, improved heat resistance, and extended durability. CFR harnesses FFF technology but introduces a secondary nozzle that feeds in
