As early as the 1960s, some leading companies such as Rolls Royce and Coutaulds began to use carbon fiber to make ultra-light and super-strong parts. After decades of development, the application of carbon fiber materials has been greatly popularized. Today, the global demand for carbon fiber composites is close to $20 billion, and in the future, this superior material has greater application prospects.
Recently, the field of 3D printing has also begun to recognize the advantages of carbon fiber, and has tried various methods of using carbon fiber materials for 3D printing. Perhaps the most successful to date is MarkForged's Mark One 3D printer , which actually embeds carbon fiber into the print object, and the printed component properties are very similar to traditionally manufactured carbon fiber components. In addition, several carbon fiber composite wires that can be used on ordinary desktop 3D printers have appeared on the market in the past two years.
Now, Basia Daman, a student at the School of Form in Poznan, Poland, used 3D printing to create a machine with a 3D printing and woven carbon fiber capability. In fact, this is Daman did not design a complete equipment. Strictly speaking, she just modified a KUKA robot and installed 3D printed tool heads and components to make it a carbon fiber. Robot.
“I focus on creating a fully functional technology that allows you to build any carbon fiber object around a support structure,†explains Daman. “In this process, the surface of the carbon fiber is coated with resin, and all of it is mounted on KUKA. Parts are first modeled with Rhino and then printed in 3D."
Daman has now used this carbon fiber braid/printer to simulate a traditional Polish craft called snutki. It extrudes carbon fiber coated with resin and moves the tool head to create a pattern with a unique Polish stitch. Of course, this is just an example of the capabilities of this machine.
In order to modify the KUKA robot, every part of Daman's design takes 3-5 hours to print 3D. She then removes the support material and bolts it to the robot. In this way, the robot was turned into a carbon fiber extrusion device.
“This device can be a versatile functional platform with many technical possibilities for further exploration in the future,†explains Daman.
