Impossible Objects’ CBAM 25 technology for scaled production of lightweight composite drone and defense-aircraft structures | Drones

Last Update: 09/26/2026 at 9:00 AM EST

Coverage from Pulse2, CompositesWorld, and others

Impossible Objects’ CBAM 25 uses carbon-fiber and other composite materials to produce lightweight, strong aircraft components without costly conventional tooling.

The industrial system prints up to 25 layers per minute and is being deployed across aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing, including planned production at U.S. Army Rock Island Arsenal. Its scaling is supported by a $40 million Series B investment and government-funded work on long-range drones, aircraft structures, and integrated wiring. The technology’s significance lies in connecting additive manufacturing with higher-volume production of specialized airframes and components.
