| Netherlands CEAD recently introduced a large composite 3D printer - CFAM. It is suitable for industrial applications such as shipbuilding and infrastructure.  CEAD is a new company founded by Maarten Logtenberg and Lucas Janssen, two of the co-founders of Leapfrog, a Netherlands-based 3D printer and 3D printing materials company, with the goal of industrial 3D printing. Up to now, the company has developed a new company that includes Filter the production system automation machinery, and CFAM is their latest masterpiece. CFAM and the Mark series of the United States Mark series uses the same continuous fiber printing technology, but the larger specification. The following is its basic parameters: Molding dimensions: 4 meters x 2 meters x 1.5 meters Compatible materials: ABS, PLA, PC, PP, PET, PEEK, glass fiber, carbon fiber, etc. · Printing speed: 15 kg / h (in fact, the company also developed a stronger 25 kg / h extruder, but it was not installed on CFAM for now) · The print cartridge can be heated to prevent the print from warping The good news is that the first CFAM will be ready by mid-2018, and maritime company Poly Products will be the first customer to report that it will use the 3D printer to make large-scale prototypes or end products. The introduction of a 5-axis CNC grinder of the same size for handling printed products is currently being automated by CEAD to allow the product to quickly switch between the two devices. Royal Roos, a maritime engineering and consulting firm, is the second subscriber to CFAM, which plans to use it to reduce the weight of composite parts used on ships and to develop engineering services using a large number of 3D printing components. It is worth mentioning that, CEAD plans to produce more than three CFAMs for the other two first customers by 2018 and will move to a larger factory for this purpose, indicating that the company is expected to quickly become one Europe's strongest composite 3D printing companies.
