Looking for a better way to make racecar parts, Gregory Mark invents a 3D printer that can print in tough, lightweight carbon fiber, the first of its kind.

[Thomas Sanladerer] wanted to make 3D prints using carbon fiber and was surprised that it was fairly inexpensive and worked well, although he mentions that the process is a bit intense. You can lea… ...

Key to the versatility of the resulting fiber-filled inks is the ability to control the orientation of the fillers. Left: Optical image of 3D printing of a triangular honeycomb composite. Right: ...

The carbon fiber technique bears more investigation, but even so, the results were — so far — not astonishing. However, this is a great application of the scientific method.

Carbon fiber is a wonderful material, strong and lightweight. But building with it is both intimidatingly complex and prohibitively expensive—which is why Mark Forged has developed this new 3D ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers claim to be the first to 3D print aerospace-grade carbon fiber.

The Mark One 3D carbon-fibre printer has been announced at the SolidWorks World conference in San Diego.

3D printing has been a great way to model a new part, but building it has required a different tool. The Mark One aims to change all that: hit print, wait, and then hang it on your car.
