Industrial Additive Carbon Fiber Applications

Connected to my previous Blog, today we are looking at few Additive Carbon-Fiber applications from the Industry.

Carbon Composite Tooling

Dash-CAE an English auto parts manufacturing company, making use of Fortus450mc and Fortus900mc machines to manufacture Tooling, Jigs and Fixtures for Rapid Prototyping and Composite services.

Ducting for Supersonic Cars

Graphite AM another British engineering service bureau and consultancy firm has confirmed that it is an official 3D printing partner of the Bloodhound LSR supersonic car project. Applying its SLS expertise, the company is supporting the team’s ambitious goal of breaking the land speed record by supplying lightweight and high strength parts for the vehicle.

Carbon Composite Connector Rods

An Athens Greece based Machine Shop Extreme Tuners has created 3D printed carbon composite connector rods for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution car.
These Rods according to the company:

• Weighs 10 times less than steel rods
• Weighs 6.5 times less than Aluminum rods
• Can withstand 3000 HP and approximately 15000 RPM
