Metal or Strong Composites?
Both high-strength composite 3D printng and metal 3D printng are valuable fabricaton methods. Used separately, they address a broad spectrum of manufacturing use cases. Together, they enhance each other and provide clever solutons.
In this ebook, we will discuss several ways in which you can leverage these complementary technologies from the 3D printer developer Markforged to quickly improve your manufacturing processes.
Two types of 3D printing Specification
Markforged composite printers uniquely embed contnuous reinforcing fbers — carbon, fberglass, or Kevlar — to print parts up to 23 tmes tougher than ABS.
Composites materials are mainly used in parts that require:
- Strength to weight
- Shock Absorbency
- Toughness
- Non marring
Markforged metal printers fabricate metal parts in stainless steel and other metal materials. Metal materials are mainly used in parts that require:
- Isotrophic Strength
- Surface hardness
- Wear resistance
- Heat
Each printng technology leverages the advantages of additve manufacturing to create parts suited for different aspects of the manufacturing process.By understanding their strengths, you can maximize the utlity of high-strength 3D printng in your operaton..
