Non-cutting metal replacement – continuous fibre-reinforced 3D printing filaments

A newly developed impregnation technology enables cost-effective and flexible production of continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastic 3D printing filaments. When combined with additive material extrusion processes, this makes it possible to implement lightweight yet highly resilient components made of thermoplastic fibre composites cost-effectively, even for new businesses and manufacturers of small production runs. Production of continuous fibre-reinforced…

3D-printed CFRP components – new impregnation technology reduces costs

A newly developed impregnation technology is set to reduce manufacturing costs for continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastic 3D printing filaments by up to 80 percent. Impregnation capabilities integrated into the extruder nozzle open up cost-effective economic application options for industry, especially in connection with additive manufacturing processes. A new impregnation technology The impregnation technology is based on…
