The Anisoprint company has developed a proprietary technology of printing with continuous fiber reinforced filaments which makes use of anisotropic properties of composite materials. The technology is based on the FFF process and got the name CFC (Composite Fiber Co-extrusion). Anisoprint CFC 3D printers feature a dual extrusion system where one extruder is used for printing with standard plastics, and the other, composite extruder has been specifically designed to print with fiber-reinforced composites. The reinforcing fiber and the compatible plastic filament, used as matrix, are fed into the composite extruder which is heated up to the temperature of plastic processing. Passing through the extruder, the fiber gets covered with molten polymer and the reinforced filament is extruded to build a part.
The Anisoprint Composite Carbon Fiber is a tow of 0.35 mm in diameter which consists of thousands of ultrathin carbon monofilaments. The fiber is pre-impregnated with a polymer composition for perfect adhesion with the plastic matrix. You can choose among most common plastics, such as PLA, ABS, PC, PA, or PETG, with printing temperatures of up to 250 °C to use as a matrix; the manufacturer recommends using PLA or PETG.
The use of continuous carbon fiber for reinforced contours and internal lattice structures allows for fabrication of strong, durable yet lightweight parts with even better mechanical properties than, for example, similar aluminum models. Building lattice structures provides time and material savings without compromising on quality. The technology proves helpful in such fields as automotive, aerospace, and healthcare industries, spare parts and consumer goods production, just to name a few.
The Anisoprint CCF 1.5K reinforcing filament is sold in 750 m long spools which is enough for printing a solid cube of 55 x 55 x 55 mm with the carbon fiber volume ratio of about 25%.
