Arris Composites on unlocking mass production of high-performance composites

Arris Composites, one of the pioneers of next-generation composites, announced at the end of May that it had secured $48.5M in series B funding to expand its proprietary composite manufacturing capabilities and open new facilities in the U.S. and Taiwan. Founded in 2017, the startup has been working for some years now on the development of its Additive Molding technology. According to the company, this technology enables the mass production of high-strength and low-weight composite parts using additive manufacturing. By applying an AM technique to the conventional manufacturing method of composites, they are able to produce carbon fiber parts at the same speed as plastic molded products. To learn more about the company’s vision and the applications it enables, we spoke to its CEO and Founder, Ethan Escowitz!
