Shanghai, China, March 27, 2023: Anisoprint, a leading provider of composite 3D printing solutions, announced the opening of a new office in Shanghai, China. The new office is located in the AMTC, Additive Manufacturing Technology Centre, which is a state-of-the-art facility that provides access to cutting-edge 3D printing technologies and equipment.

Prepregs, or preliminarily impregnated fibers, are typically reinforcing fabrics pre-impregnated with a resin system (thermoset or thermoplastic). These flexible sheets are laid up in a mold for getting the right shape and require no additional materials, they are commonly used for the manufacturing of advanced composite structures.

Exhibiting at the show has been one of our highlights in 2022: not only because we enjoyed the opportunity to meet our partners, suppliers, clients and other industry professionals, but also because Formnext brings together the whole AM industry and is a great way to stay up-to-date with industry trends.   In this blog post, […]

About a year ago, at Formnext 2021, we officially introduced our industrial 3D printing PROM IS 500 to the market. After inviting beta users and focusing on customer research and understanding the market, its size and potential, it’s about time to share an update. At Formnext 2022, we sat down with PROM IS 500 Product […]

Starting in September 2022, 3D printing solution provider Anisoprint deployed their Research and Development Team at Jacobs University Bremen. The main focus of the partnership is fostering research and development of composites manufacturing with Continuous Fiber Coextrusion (CFC) technology and establishing a research environment for 3D printing technologies on the university campus in Bremen, Germany.

There has been a lot of enthusiasm about composites in aerospace and some disappointment too. In jet programs, composites were used for several decades, but they design, treat, and post-process composites the same way as metals. The reason is that by nature, the design for composites is extremely complicated. There is not so much theory […]

Currently, fiber-reinforced polymer composites are mostly made by hand, with only three automated technologies that allow for less human labor: pultrusion, filament winding, and automated fiber placement (AFP) with tape layering (ATL). At Anisoprint, we deal with 3D printing of continuous fiber reinforced composites, and will show you the closest to it — AFP with […]

3D printing is referred to as such because it allows to produce 3 dimensional objects; however, the printing process itself is actually more like 2.5D. What does it mean? The conventional additive manufacturing process consists in laying material on top of each other on a horizontal plane, meaning that the printing head and the nozzle […]

Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg / Bremen, Germany – July 27, 2022: The Luxembourg based hardware start-up Anisoprint and Jacobs University Bremen have teamed up through a signed agreement to foster research, education and technology transfer on continuous fiber 3D printing on the university’s campus in Bremen.  

Composite 3D printing is a relatively new trend in additive manufacturing: it is an innovative technology that allows to 3d print parts with enhanced parameters of strength, stiffness, and durability due to fiber component added to plastics. Here is how fiber can be combined with plastics: filling with chopped fiber or reinforcing with continuous strands. […]

Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg – July 4th, 2022: Anisoprint, a manufacturer of continuous fiber 3D printing systems, and Systemcreate announce an exclusive distribution partnership that will accelerate the adoption of 3D printed continuous fiber-reinforced composites in the Japanese market.

Adopting innovative technologies for your business can be both challenging and exciting. The tremendous benefits sound promising and tempt us to get started without setting clear expectations. This article is a guideline for organizations who want to integrate additive manufacturing into their established production processes. Not every 3D printing technology is equally suitable for every […]

Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg – May 09, 2022: Anisoprint, a continuous fiber 3D printing solution provider, signs a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nanoracks Space Outpost Europe, the leader in the commercial utilization of space, to strengthen its position as a space technology developer and become a part of the low Earth orbit and lunar economy.

Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg – May 04, 2022: Continuous fiber 3D printing pioneer Anisoprint is expanding its global footprint and announcing a collaboration with Top 3D Group as distributor in the North American market. The California-based supplier will now sell Anisoprints proprietary technology and exhibit the Composer 3D printing systems for the first time at the upcoming […]

It’s a common problem: Even if you’re away from your printer you still want to track the status of your print job and understand what’s going on. And the more printers you have, the more difficult it becomes to monitor each of them. Ideally, you want to log-in to a system to ensure an optimum […]

Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg – March 28, 2022: Anisoprint, a composite fiber 3D printing technology pioneer, was selected to participate in the Startup Support Program (SSP) managed by European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC) in partnership with Technoport, the Luxembourg Space Agency (LSA), the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) and the European Space Agency (ESA). […]

Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg – March 15, 2022: Anisoprint, a continuous fiber 3D printing systems and software OEM, is introducing Clear PETG and CFC PETG, a second pair of filaments for desktop Anisoprinting. Developed for use with Composer A4 and A3, PETG is one of the most universal and effective materials for composite fiber co-extrusion (CFC). The […]

With all the diversity of additive technologies and composites manufacturing, AM with composite materials includes even more peculiarities that are neither fully studied or familiar to everyone, nor taught at a university. 3D Printing with composite materials might be challenging, but it offers incredible benefits: Parts can easily be made 2-3 times lighter compared to […]

Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg – February 02, 2022: To accelerate the adoption of 3D printing with continuous fiber-reinforced composites globally, Ansoprint is now exclusively distributing its 3D printing systems and patented technology via Sedaxis. An exclusive reseller agreement for the Indian market has been signed between Sedaxis and the Luxembourg-based continuous fiber 3D printing specialist.

In additive manufacturing, there are two main ways to use carbon fiber for 3D printing: printing with continuous fiber and chopped fiber. The resulting parts are very different in properties. The added fiber serves as a booster for plastics enhancing their parameters by certain values. Both types of reinforcement have their own characteristics, application areas, […]
