FibreSeek crowdfunds continuous-fiber desktop 3D printer with pledges from US$2,699

FibreSeek was crowdfunding its FibreSeeker 3 desktop 3D printer on Kickstarter as of December 11, 2025, with early-backer pledges starting at US$2,699. The machine is designed to reinforce thermoplastic parts with continuous carbon or glass fibers through a dual-nozzle printing system.

The campaign had exceeded its funding goal and attracted more than 1,000 backers.

Dual nozzles and three printing modes

FibreSeek lists a build volume of 300 × 300 × 245 mm. One nozzle handles conventional thermoplastic printing, while the other performs composite fiber co-extrusion, or CFC, combining continuous fibers with a plastic binding material. This process uses long strands of reinforcement rather than the short, chopped fibers mixed into some conventional filaments.

The company describes three operating modes. High-Speed mode uses only the fused filament fabrication, or FFF, nozzle, with an advertised maximum speed of 500 mm/s. That figure applies to thermoplastic printing, not continuous-fiber reinforcement.

High-Strength mode uses both nozzles to combine thermoplastic with continuous-fiber reinforcement. Hyper-Strength mode uses only the CFC nozzle to produce composites with a higher fiber proportion. Those parts still contain a binding matrix.

Listed hardware specifications include a 0.7-mm CFC nozzle capable of reaching 350 °C (662 °F), a 5-inch color touchscreen, automatic bed leveling and calibration, and a camera for monitoring prints. The printer runs open-source Klipper firmware alongside FibreSeek’s proprietary Aura slicing software, which plans fiber placement within a part.

FibreSeek advertises tensile strength of up to 900 MPa for its continuous-fiber output. The supplied specifications do not establish that performance across different part designs or substantiate a general claim that printed components can replace aluminum parts.

Unresolved shipping timetable

Shipping forecasts at the time were inconsistent: one timetable gave a conditional January 2026 target for worldwide shipments, while another listed shipments beginning in February 2026. The available information did not establish whether one timetable superseded the other, so neither month could be treated as a settled delivery date.

FibreSeek said its team included veterans of the 3D-printing industry and that it had in-house production lines to manufacture the printer. The campaign involved advance pledges, with delivery timing and final specifications subject to the uncertainties of crowdfunding.
