I investigated the accuracy and internal structure of carbon prints!
[Mitarepo] What is the dimensional accuracy of carbon 3D printing? Can a grid-like infill be made with carbon material? I actually looked into it!
"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products, based on the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product categories handled by System Create. The theme of Vol. 18 is "We investigated the dimensional accuracy and internal structure of carbon prints!" This time, we checked the dimensional accuracy of the model created with the carbon 3D printer "Composer" and conducted a CT scan. First, we measured the lengths of the edges, hole diameters, boss heights, and other shapes of the test model to confirm the deviations from the design values. Next, we compared the print data with the CT scan data to verify the actual arrangement of the carbon material inside the model, which was set up in a grid pattern. "How accurate are the dimensions of carbon prints?" "What does it mean to 'use carbon material for infill'? Is it really there?" We will explain the points of interest regarding carbon 3D printers along with comments from our technical staff and the models we actually created! *You can download the materials from the button below.
basic information
■What I tried ■Dimensional accuracy equivalent to a typical FDM machine ■The arrangement of the internal carbon composite is also excellent.
