3D printed CubeSat frames: space-ready satellites from carbon fiber

3D PRINTED CUBESAT FRAMES: SPACE-READY SATELLITES FROM CARBON FIBER
3D PRINTED CUBESAT FRAMES: SPACE-READY SATELLITES FROM CARBON FIBER

As the space industry rapidly conquers new frontiers, innovative technologies like composite 3D printing support the progress and facilitate new achievements. With anisoprinting, space vehicles become smaller, lighter, stronger, and more reliable in adverse environments.

Over the past few years there has been a continuous increase in the number of CubeSat (Cube Satellites) launches to orbit, most often in groups, like a cluster or chain: satellite systems of this kind are usually called round-robin systems.

Anisoprint launches Clear PETG and CFC PETG for continuous fiber 3D printing

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 material is paired with a proprietary profile in Aura slicer library, which guarantees high standard quality and exactly predictable properties.

Carbon Fiber 3D Printing: chopped and continuous fibers reinforcement

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, and technologies associated with them. We will describe composite materials, the types of carbon fiber reinforcement, the required equipment developed for these materials available on the market, and the applications.
