On this episode, Florence Moreau of TeXtreme joins me to discuss their new TeXtreme 360°. It belongs to a new class of composite materials called tape-based Discontinuous Fiber Composites (DFCs), combining in-plane isotropy, high strength and stiffness, and enhanced manufacturability.

This new class of composite materials is an alternative to traditional metal alloys and continuous fiber composites, unlocking new possibilities across a wide range of applications.

Textreme has established itself as the market leader in spread tow thin-ply carbon reinforcements. Introduced to the market in 2005,  it was quickly recognized in high-performance sports applications where customers valued its low weight and high performance.
