OMNI3D and Kwambio introduced a new dedicated 3D printing material

Recently, the Polish 3D printer manufacturer OMNI3D introduced a new material called CF-PA-12, due to its carbon fiber content and high durability and strength for the company, the most famous for its part is its huge 3D Printer 'Factory 2.0'.

According to 3D Tiger, CF-PA-12 is a polyamide 12-based composite material with high hardness and toughness. The strength of carbon fiber is 2.5 times that of ABS, which is a particularly strong material. Due to the low material shrinkage and resistance Highly heat-resistant, carbon fiber-based tools can be used at temperatures up to 160 ° C, about twice as much as ABS. The material also has high chemical resistance.

"The CF-PA-12 retains the structural rigidity of carbon fibers regardless of the humidity of the environment. It is lightweight and has an elegant semi-matte finish," said Krzysztof Kardach, chief 3D printing technology specialist at OMNI3D. "Carbon fiber is used in both automotive and non- The production of man-machine components, featuring high durability and low weight, will work in harsh environments and in some cases will replace previously metal-made components and it excels in component engineering , For the production of final components and functional prototypes, and testing of structural elements or equipment, instrumentation.

The CF-PA-12 will not be the last OMNI3D cable to be released in the near future, and the company is planning to roll out additional material for professional applications in the coming months Factory 2.0 has automatic print settings that specify all compatible material parameters.
In addition, Kwambio introduced a new material that began to enter 3D printer manufacturing as a 3D model platform and recently introduced a ceramic 3D printer at CES 2018. The company just launched a new opaque Glass-based 3D printing material - GS ONE. The material has a rough sandy texture in 12 colors and will soon be available in other colors. Kwambio said that for complex items that can not be produced using ordinary ceramic processes, This is ideal if you do not use glass, you can provide a high degree of detail.

With a zero shrinkage, GS ONE is ideal for objects of exact size, unlike Kwambio's standard ceramic materials, which are not food-safe and therefore recommended by the company for use in home decorating article.

Kwambio said: 'Objects that are 3D-printed with this material have a turnaround time of five days or less because they do not require fire and glaze, and instead objects must be painted. The paint is actually protecting objects and making them More durable.

Hand-polished objects can be used for slip casting to make molds. Objects printed with GS ONE are not waterproof by default, but Kwambio can add special waterproof coatings as needed. Although materials may be damaged by water, Ordinary ceramic materials are more durable and Kwambio charges $ 20 per 3D printed object or $ 0.17 per square centimeter (object surface area) for this service.
