About our 3-D printing
KAIROS Additive has developed its own line of advanced Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing systems—the CL1720 and CL3450. These scalable systems support a wide range of thermoplastic materials, including fiber-reinforced thermoplastics with strength comparable to metal. Designed for precision and durability, they produce high-quality parts with micron-level accuracy and are supported by an intuitive platform of features that empower users to manufacture components quickly and efficiently.
In addition to our technology development, KAIROS provides Subject Matter Expertise to NAWCAD, supporting additive manufacturing (AM) capability growth strategies, offering consultation on 3D part design and production, and evaluating printed components for performance and reliability.
KAIROS is actively deploying and supporting NAWCAD Field Technical Units (FTUs), which deliver maintenance and sustainment services for ground mobile SOCOM platforms overseas. Our solutions enable manufacturing at the point of need, significantly reducing the cost and delays associated with traditional inventory management.
Moreover, our systems are being utilized in Hawaii to support local sustainment efforts and foster workforce development—creating jobs and enhancing self-sufficiency across the islands.
