In addition to traditional injection/compression molding, 3D printing is emerging as a dependable technique for manufacturing composite components. While epoxy resin-based composites continue to be prevalent, alternative resins like polyphenylene sulfide, polyurethane, and polyolefin are also being explored.

Similar to other industries, the concept of circularity is a key focus in the field of composites. Particularly, the emphasis is on recycling these composite structures at the end of their lifespan and repurposing them in the production of new composite parts.
