Composer A3

Composer A3

ANISOPRINTING is the technology for manufacturing optimized composite structures through continuous fibre 3D printing with the demanded physical and mechanical properties.

The solution is based on patent-pending Composite Fiber Coextrusion (CFC) technology. Different thermoplastic polymers can be reinforced with continuous fibres, consolidated and cured within a single-stage fully automated process that does not require post-processing or tooling. The two-matrix (thermoset+thermoplastic) approach ensures low porosity, good adhesion of fibre to polymer, superior mechanical properties.

With Composer you can print end-use parts that are stronger, lighter and cheaper than their counterparts from the other materials (metal, plastic, non-optimized composites).

Anisoprint CCF (Composite Carbon Fiber) and CBF (Composite Basalt Fiber) are a composite reinforcing fibers in the form of a tow made of thousands of ultrathin carbon or basalt monofilaments, impregnated with a special polymer composition ensuring high-quality adhesion between the polymers and the fiber. Composite fiber is used to reinforce the plastic during fabrication of the part.

CCF  (Composite Carbon Fiber)

  • 30times stiffer and stronger than normal plastic
  • Strength-to-weight ratio is more than 5times higher than for 2024-T351 Aluminum
  • Stiffness-to-weight ratio is more than 5times higher than for 2024-T351 Aluminum
  • 7times lighter than steel and strong as stainless steel

CBF (Composite Basalt Fiber)

  • 15times stiffer and stronger than normal plastic
  • Strength-to-weight ratio is more than 2times higher than for 2024-T351 Aluminum
  • 5times lighter than steel and strong as stainless steel

AURA
SLICER SOFTWARE FOR COMPOSITE PRINTING

Aura prepares a 3D model, generates reinforcing fiber trajectories in each layer and allows to adjust reinforcement scheme to obtain strong and lightweight parts. It enables to combine micro and macro layers, making it possible to print an infill with thick layers and an external shell with thin layers. This feature results in faster printing without loss of quality.

Benefits of Continuous fiber-reinforced composites
  • Continuous fiber – reinforced composites:
    30 times stronger than pure plastic, 2 times stronger & lighter than aluminium;
  • Optimal composite structures: lattice reinforcement — minimum weight, price and production time for the required strength.
  • arbitrary (custom) trajectories of fiber laying..
  • Open material system: use any plastic as a matrix.
  • open G-code.
  • non-cloud software
  • Two reinforcing materials: CCF (based on carbon) and CBF (based on basalt).
  • Complete control over fiber path generation with the slicing software Aura.

Low-cost part production

A 750m spool will be enough to fabricate a fully composite 55х55х55mm cube or a fully composite A4-sized plate with a thickness of 2.5mm. The volume ratio of carbon or basalt fiber in the final product is about 25%.
