Researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL, Livermore, CA, US) believe they have made a significant advance in the development of micro-extrusion 3D printing techniques for carbon ...

Braskem (São Paulo, Brazil), an Americas polyolefins and biopolymers producer, announced on May 19 that it has expanded its partnership with Vartega Inc. (Golden, Colo., U.S.) a recycler of advanced ...

Industrial 3D printing start-up Markforged announced earlier this month that it raised $30 million in a Series C funding round, which included "significant investments" from new investors ...

Join me as I design and build a lightweight, high-performance micro catamaran using 3D printing and carbon fiber. In this ...

We’ve seen FDM printers lay down layers by extruding plastic in a line. We’ve seen printers use sintering and lithography to melt or cure one layer at a time before more print medium moves into place ...

With a growing demand for strong and lighter parts at an affordable cost, manufacturers look to carbon fiber. Unfortunately, the process takes time, manual labor, and might experience variations from ...

Since the inception of 3D printing 30 years ago, buyers have had a choice of printers for either industrial functional parts with inferior surface finish or printers for detailed, yet fragile models.

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites have many useful properties, but their big drawback is they are typically complex and expensive to manufacture. In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) printing of ...

I made some mistakes learning how to use the $300 Elegoo Centauri Carbon 3D printer, but it didn't take me long to make my first part.

Last week, we had a look at a carbon-infused PETG filament. This week, I’d like to show you two composites based on a more common thermoplastic in 3D printing: ABS. Among a whole lot of other ...

Researchers, for the the first time, have 3D printed aerospace-grade carbon fiber composites, opening the door to greater control and optimization of the lightweight, yet stronger than steel material.
