Have you ever needed a lightweight fixture or functional prototype that could match the strength of metal? Combining carbon-fibre-reinforced filaments with advanced printing technology makes it possible.
High-performance material support
DBZ’s printers support a range of high-performance materials – including PLA-CF, ABS-CF, PETG-CF, ASA-CF, PP-CF and Nylon-CF – allowing manufacturers to produce strong, lightweight parts. The Aion 500 MK2 integrates Advanced Fusion Plastic Modelling (AFPM), a patented firmware–hardware combination that adapts flow and temperature for better component strength. Stratasys notes that large-format FDM printing can use engineering thermoplastics and carbon composites to produce durable end-use parts. However, few SMEs know how to exploit these materials.
Benefits of carbon-fibre composites
- Higher strength-to-weight ratio
- Improved dimensional stability
- Reduced warping
Coupled with AFPM, DBZ’s servo mosquito extruder delivers consistent extrusion, ensuring that each layer is optimally fused for structural integrity. This technology is particularly useful for jigs, fixtures and end-use parts that must withstand high loads or harsh environments. By printing with carbon composites in-house, companies can avoid outsourcing costly carbon-fibre machining and shorten development cycles. DBZ’s open-material approach and advanced slicing software make adoption straightforward.
