Continuous Carbon Fiber 3D Printer
A carbon fiber 3D printer is a type of additive manufacturing device that uses carbon fiber as the primary printing material. The carbon fiber is combined with a resin and extruded through a print head to build up an object layer by layer. The resulting material is a composite of carbon fiber and resin with improved properties, such as increased tensile strength, compared to conventional 3D printing materials. The process allows for the creation of complex, lightweight, and strong structures for various applications, such as aerospace, automotive, and sport equipment industries.
