Impossible-Objects shows its CBAM system for 3D printed composites 3D Printer Hardware
After a long incubation, Impossible-Objects finally showed the first system based on its new composite additive manufacturing technology (CBAM). The 3D printer uses a process different from any other current AM technologies and makes functional, fiber-reinforced parts at production speeds scaling to minutes or seconds. CBAM works with the widest range of materials, such as fiber fabrics including carbon, glass and Kevlar, and polymers including polyamides and PEEK. Its goal is to replace conventional manufacturing techniques while offering greater geometric complexity.
