X-Winder, LLC

the x-winder is the world’s first, small scale, affordable, desktop filament winder. the x-winder filament winder is proven manufacturing technology that creates carbon fiber parts at 90% less cost than equivalent commercially available parts, like tubes, beams, supports and other ultra-strong, lightweight applications. filament winding has been around for decades in the aerospace business, but only on a huge scale, with machines so big they take up the entire shop floor. now, the x-winder brings this same proven manufacturing technology to the desktop and a smaller scale for makers and hobbyists who can now share in the immense cost savings and superior parts manufacturing capability. think of the x-winder like a 3d printer - it deposits layer after layer of carbon fiber, fiberglass or other high tensile filament on a rotating mandrel to additively manufacture very strong, lightweight parts. but, unlike plastic 3d printer parts, x-winder parts can be used in demanding high performance
