It is possible to print carbon fiber parts, which allows engineers and designers to create shapes with organic forms that are less stressful for assemblers. This is especially beneficial for jigs, fixtures and other tools used in assembly. The designers can maximize their product's longevity and productivity if they reduce the strain on operators. This is particularly important in the manufacture of high-performance components like automotive engines and airplane wings.
3D printing, as a manufacturing method, is now well established. But there are still many challenges. There are limitations to the types of material that can print and how fast it can be done. As well, quality and dependability of the parts are issues that still need to be addressed.
All of these fields are making progress. 3D printing allows for the mass-production of parts that previously could only be produced through injection molding or cast.
Many of the biggest brands in the industry are already using this new technology to create innovative products and services. These include consumer products firms like adidas and Ford Motor Company; aerospace giants including Boeing and Lockheed Martin; and advanced manufacturers such Siemens Energy and Linde.
The need for more eco-friendly products, processes and materials is driving the growth of these technologies. In particular, consumers are seeking out greener materials for building such as those made of plant-based materials or biodegradables. As well, companies are looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact of their business by using alternative vehicles fuels and incorporating carbon-capture into their plants.
Direct Air Capture is one of the most significant developments in this field. This technology allows atmospheric CO2 to be separated and converted into valuable products such as building materials, agricultural products or fuels. It can be used as a means of energy storage or sequestration.
The development of advanced composites is another major advance in this field. These materials have been engineered to offer a wide range of properties, including strength, rigidity, and durability. These materials are used in many applications, from lightweight aircraft components to wind turbine blade structural support.
These materials also can be printed more quickly than metals. This enables the development and production of new and innovative design that was previously impossible. These innovations help to drive the rapid market growth for green composites.
As the global market continues to grow at Moore's Law's rate, the demand for efficient and environmentally friendly manufacturing increases. Carbon's Digital Light Synthesis DLS 3D Printing process is driving adoption of advanced additive fabrication technologies. This revolutionary approach produces parts in a continuous manner without any layers, at up to a 100-fold faster rate than stereolithographic techniques. DLS's ability to create durable, end-use components with customizable mechanical properties and surface finish, as well as a stable, stable part, allows manufacturers to design and engineer end-use products, then make them and deliver them in a single workflow.
