Carbon Fiber 3D Printing is a growing division of the Additive Manufacturing world. As this material is growing in popularity, it has become apparent that Carbon Fiber 3D Printing has enhanced qualities and increased versatility that make it preferred in some manufacturing contexts.  What is Carbon Fiber and What are its Advantages?   Carbon Fiber 3D Printing uses a composite material consisting of polymer mixed with chopped carbon fiber. The combination of these two materials

Often overlooked, there is a checkbox at the bottom of your Model Settings menu called Variable Width Fill. Load a model into your F123 Series, Fortus 380mc, Fortus 450mc, or Fortus 900mc printer and open the model settings tab in GrabCAD Print. If you hover your cursor over the information logo next to the Variable

The name of the game in new product development is time. Time to prototype iterations, time to market and time of development go hand-in-hand in bringing a new product to the masses. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, for every 7 product ideas, only 1.5 launch. Of those that do launch, only one will yield

Like so many other groundbreaking ideas, there is a balancing act between understanding what the current technology is actually capable of doing and what is simply impossible with current market limitations. A challenge for the 3D printing industry is separating the myth from reality. Some misconceptions go beyond the current capabilities of additive manufacturing (AM)
