The article is about the cost of composites dropping thanks to new manufacturing methods and includes three examples: 1. Arris Composites shapes carbon fibers using a process resembling wire bending. The shaped fibers are put into a resin, and the resulting form is placed into a custom mold. 2. 9T Labs uses an additive manufacturing process similar to 3D printing to lay down narrow strips of carbon fiber into a particular shape. 3. Orbital Composites employs off-the-shelf industrial robots with custom print heads that "3D print" carbon fiber shapes.
