At the moment, UltiMaker introduced the addition of PET Carbon Fiber (PET CF), an easy-to-use and versatile composite materials, to its portfolio of high-performance supplies for UltiMaker S sequence 3D printers. UltiMaker PET CF affords superior energy, excessive warmth resistance, and excessive chemical resistance for robust high-performance thermoplastic purposes throughout a variety of industries.
With its distinctive mechanical properties, UltiMaker PET Carbon Fiber (PET CF) empowers engineers to provide stronger and extra correct components for a large number of purposes, corresponding to manufacturing instruments, jigs and fixtures, in addition to end-use components. Engineers can even benefit from the advantages of PET CF for his or her engineering prototypes, which allow simple and intensive testing of technical ideas and features. UltiMaker PET CF additionally affords a dependable resolution for changing damaged or hard-to-source manufacturing components.
By using its robust mechanical and thermal properties, producers can swiftly print substitute elements, eliminating the necessity for expensive manufacturing line shutdowns. The fabric’s wonderful energy and stiffness make it supreme for high-performance purposes, delivering enhanced half efficiency even below demanding circumstances.
Key Options of UltiMaker PET Carbon Fiber (PET CF)
One of many standout options of PET CF is its potential to attain even increased energy, stiffness, and temperature resistance by way of annealing. By annealing printed components, engineers can obtain a temperature resistance of as much as 181°C and improve energy by as much as 30% and stiffness by as much as 10%, leading to components that excel in difficult environments.
“We’re thrilled to introduce the UltiMaker PET CF, UltiMaker’s first composite materials that has been particularly made to work completely with UltiMaker S sequence printers,” mentioned Nadav Goshen, CEO at UltiMaker. “PET CF’s potential to attain increased energy and temperature resistance by way of annealing units it aside from different supplies, whereas its versatility permits engineers to make use of it for a variety of purposes. The fabric represents a major development in our portfolio and reinforces our dedication to delivering cutting-edge options.”
Exhibiting low moisture sensitivity in comparison with different carbon fiber supplies, PET CF requires restricted drying. When saved within the UltiMaker Materials Station, it stays well-conditioned, enabling a dependable printing expertise and persistently high-quality prints. PET CF is appropriate with devoted help supplies, corresponding to UltiMaker PVA and Breakaway, providing customers full design freedom and enabling the creation of complicated composite components with out limitations.
UltiMaker additionally affords PET CF in a number of colours, together with black, grey, and blue, as proven above. This distinctive function permits customers to color-code their carbon fiber prints, catering to particular use circumstances or aesthetic necessities. The fabric is absolutely built-in into the UltiMaker platform by way of NFC-equipped spools, providing a seamless expertise that makes use of NFC materials recognition, a devoted Print Core CC, help materials compatibility, and intent profiles.
