9T Labs, a Switzerland company to automates and digitizes composite manufacturing at scale, and Setforge, one of the most important global suppliers of high-quality metal components from France, will replace metals with high-performance carbon fiber composites for automotive, aerospace and industrial applications.

Additive Fusion Technology enables serial production of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) parts with high fiber volume (60%) and low void content (<1%) at lower cost using the 9T Labs Red Series equipment.

Setforge with its partners, Institut de Soudure and the research institute Arts et Métiers, Setforge is working on the development of a new process, called EPITHER, that aims to produce structural composite parts in high series to diversify its historic production.

9T Labs and Setforge will replace metals with high-performance carbon fiber composites for several applications.

“As an innovative company, we need to explore new technologies for the future of digital series production. With 9T Labs’ cost-competitive approach, we can reduce part weight and production costs,” notes Head of EPITHER program, Damien Felix.

Setforge will use the Red Series to set up a high-volume production solution for light and strong composite parts. Its Red Series subscription is an all-in-one solution that includes hardware, Fibrify software, and application engineering.

The Fibrify software suite uses integrated FEA tools to help quickly define tailored fiber designs optimized per load case, avoiding less-efficient black metal designs. It also allows parts to be structurally validated before being printed, reducing iterations and streamlining development.

“The Red Series subscription provides us with flexibility in process simulation and digital prototyping as well as the pontential to extend our patented process to high series production of carbon composites” says Felix.“

“Setforge is a great example of an innovative parts manufacturing company creating new market opportunities by substituting metals with structural composites.” explains 9T Labs Co-founder and Chief Business Development Officer, Giovanni Cavolina.
