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%.
