class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t9T Labs (Zurich, Switzerland) and Setforge (L\u2019Horme, France) will replace metals with high-performance carbon fiber composites for automotive, aerospace and industrial applications. Additive Fusion Technology\u2122 enables serial production of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) parts with high fiber volume (60%) and low void content (&lt;1%) at lower cost using the 9T Labs Red Series\u2122 equipment.\r\n\r\nWith over 100 years of experience, Setforge, a subsidiary of Farinia Group, is one of the most important global suppliers of high-quality metal components, at high production volumes, mainly in the automotive and aerospace industries. With its partners, Institut de Soudure and the research institute Arts et M\u00e9tiers, 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 historical production.\r\n\r\n\u201cLightweight and sustainability are becoming more and more important,\u201d notes Head of EPITHER program, Damien Felix. &#8220;As an innovative company, we need to explore new technologies for the future of digital series production. With 9T Labs&#8217; cost-competitive approach, we can reduce part weight and production costs.&#8221;\r\n\r\nSetforge will use the Red Series\u2122 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\u2122 software, and application engineering. \u201cUsing 9T Labs\u2019 composite engineering support, we will find and develop the right applications,\u201d says Felix. \u201c9T Labs\u2019 software makes the process of designing composite parts much more accessible to companies that have not been working with composites.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe Fibrify\u2122 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.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Red Series subscription provides us with flexibility in process simulation and digital prototyping as well as the potential to extend our patented process to high series production of carbon composites\u201d says Felix. \u201c\r\n\r\n&#8220;We needed an additional technology to achieve our goals. We have found the right level of mastery in both additive manufacturing and post consolidation with Red Series and the great support of the 9T Labs Team. This important step will allow us to substitute metals and scale the production of structural composites to thousands of pieces at a cost competitive structure.&#8221;\r\n\r\n\u201cSetforge is a great example of an innovative parts manufacturing company creating new market opportunities by substituting metals with structural composites.\u201d explains 9T Labs Co-founder and Chief Business Development Officer, Giovanni Cavolina. &#8220;We are extremely proud to support Setforge in this mission. The combination of 9T Labs&#8217; knowledge in composites and Setforge&#8217;s expertise in production will enable serial production using Additive Manufacturing of CFRP.&#8221;\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-034202d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"034202d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>9T Labs was founded in 2018 by a team of pioneers, passionate about bringing the next generation of high performance manufacturing.
