Xietong Gaoke upgrades continuous-fiber composite AM with prepreg filament, adaptive impregnation, and in-situ curing

Originally reported by shm.com.cn

Xietong Gaoke, the Shenzhen industrial additive manufacturer also known as Shenzhen Collaborative Innovation High-Tech, is upgrading its continuous-fiber composite 3D printing systems. Co-founder Luo Meng said the work targets aerospace equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles, and embodied intelligent robots after attacking fiber peel-out, weak interlayer bonding, and hard-to-scale production. The team built an integrated process suite of prepreg filament preparation, adaptive impregnation, and in-situ curing, and reports mechanical performance above conventional materials for the same structures. Sensor controls now match high- and low-temperature feedstock so machines run unattended without mid-batch material swaps.

Continuous-fiber composite printing is where industrial AM moves from geometry-led lightening to materials-led strength-to-weight gains for UAV airframes, robot bases, and aerospace secondary structure. Xietong Gaoke's upgrade is a factory-readiness push: automated fiber handling and curing attack the throughput barriers that keep continuous-fiber extrusion in pilot cells. For aerospace and low-altitude buyers, the test is unattended uptime and repeatable mechanical data in production lots.
