A very tough, resilient, and lightweight 3D printing composite filament called FilaOne Gray can hold more than 1,000 times its own weight. The secret? Carbon nanotube reinforcement. Don't believe it?
3D printing has garnered much attention in the past three decades with its wide range of applications. The ongoing development in this area needs more modern feedstock materials with enhanced ...
If you're looking to make a 3D print that will stand the test of time, you'll want to consider making it using the strongest ...
While plastics are very useful on their own, they can be much stronger when reinforced and mixed with a range of fibers. Not surprisingly, this includes the thermoplastic polymers which are commonly ...
Pressurized well tank manufacturer Amtrol recently installed an automated filament winding line with in-process monitoring to produce its debut product line of composite-lined tanks. Pictured here, a ...
[Stefan] from CNC Kitchen explored an unusual approach to a multi-material print by making custom PLA filament with a TPU core to make it super-tough. TPU is a flexible filament whereas PLA is hard ...
B&T Composites was founded to produce filament-wound glass and carbon fiber composite industrial components such as pipes. The company is also expanding into new technologies like photonic sensors, ...
