Brief Description
Description : | FabMachines 3D printers use Fabheads patented Adaptive Tow Placement technology to integrate continuous carbon fibre into the 3D printing process. With this technology, 3D-printed parts can be reinforced with carbon fibre, making them 20 times stronger than a typical 3D-printed part, almost as strong as aluminium, and as lightweight as plastics. This technology can be used to manufacture complete drone frames, robotic components, and automotive components that require high strength but low weight. |
