Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), also known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), enables the efficient additive manufacturing of components using thermoplastic filaments, such as TAFNEX™, as feedstock. With high precision, design flexibility and a broad range of available printing systems, FFF is well suited for applications ranging from rapid prototyping to the production of functional and industrial parts.

Uncover the Tape Winding technique, where TAFNEX™ UD Tape is wound onto a core to create rotationally symmetric components such as tubes, bearings, or pressure vessels.

Through this cost-efficient manufacturing method, a tailored blank or TAFNEX™ Sheet is transformed into a basic 3D shape.

Fused Granular Fabrication (FGF) enables the efficient additive manufacturing of large-scale components using polymer pellets, such as TAFNEX™, as feedstock. Its high material throughput and ability to produce large geometries make FGF particularly suitable for industrial applications, including Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM).

By subjecting long fiber reinforced molding materials, like TAFNEX™ Design Sheets, to high pressure, they become flowable. This technique enables the production of components with basic functional features, such as ribs.

Discover Tape Placement, also referred to as Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), where TAFNEX™ UD Tape is utilized to produce load-optimized tailored blanks or enhance existing structures with local reinforcements.

Although TAFNEX™ sheets are available for direct purchase, they can also be produced independently by using TAFNEX™ UD Tape and a press.
