Description

METHOD X CARBON FIBER EDITION

Carbon-Fiber-Propeller-print

PRINT STRONG AND HEAT-RESISTANT METAL REPLACEMENT PARTS

Optimized for high strength, stiffness, and heat resistance, Nylon Carbon Fiber is ideal for structural applications and metal replacements.

Filament-hero-Nylon-Carbon-Fiber-Creatz3d

ACHIEVE SUPERIOR NYLON CARBON FIBER PARTS

Produces parts with superior three-dimensional strength, accuracy, and pristine surface finish with the METHOD’s unique industrial-leading feature set.

WHY METHOD?

110°C Circulating Heated Chamber Delivers Stronger Manufacturing-Grade Parts

Open Platform for 3rd Party Advanced Engineering Materials

Guaranteed Part Accuracy ± 0.2mm and Stratasys SR-30 Soluble Support

Save precious Engineering Time with an Automated Workflow and CAD Integration

Carbon fiber reinforced nylon 6/66 blend for high strength to weight ratio and heat resistance. For max performance in controlled environments.

– 184°C HDT @0.455 MPa
– 110 MPa Tensile Strength
– 7600 MPa Tensile Modulus

Optimal performance requires extra steps
and a controlled environment.

The filament should be dried before printing.

Higher print temp may result in stringing.

Carbon fiber reinforced nylon 12 provides the easiest carbon fiber composite 3D printing experience thanks to superior moisture resistance. For consistent performance in any environment.

– 154°C HDT @0.455 MPa
– 66 MPa Tensile Strength
– 6000 MPa Tensile Modulus

No additional steps required before or after print process

Nylon (6/66) Carbon Fiber has the highest peak performance in all categories, it is significantly affected by moisture which will reduce both strength and modulus.

Nylon 12 Carbon Fiber is less affected by moisture and will retain more of its performance in the presence of moisture.

APPLICATIONS

Nylon Carbon Fiber offers an ideal lightweight alternative to metal for structural applications such as vehicular brackets and inspection gauges, manufacturing tools such as robotic end effectors, and under-hood applications, across the manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace industries.  Using the latest in 3D printing technology, the MakerBot METHOD X allows you to mould this high-strength and heat-resistant material for a wide range of industrial applications.

Nylon Carbon Fiber Edition also supports materials available for the METHOD platform and MakerBot Labs.

FAQ


What is the difference between METHOD X and METHOD X Carbon Fiber Edition?
METHOD X Carbon Fiber Edition comes pre-configured with a composite extruder for you to 3D print Nylon Carbon Fiber and other composite materials.

What if I have an existing METHOD or METHOD X 3D Printer? Can I still print with Nylon Carbon Fiber?
You will need to get a Composite Extruder upgrade to print Nylon Carbon Fiber. Reach out to us to find out about Creatz3D’s customised solutions for all your 3D printing needs in Singapore. 

Can I print with other MakerBot Materials on METHOD X Carbon Fiber Edition?
You can print with all model materials supported by METHOD platform and are not limited to carbon fiber. Find out more about the METHOD X or get in touch for enquiries about the latest 3D printing technology in Singapore.

Features

METHOD X CARBON FIBER EDITION
Features

110° CIRCULATING HEATED CHAMBER

Control the temperature and quality of every layer – not just the first. While heated build plates are effective at reducing warping, Method takes this further with full active heat immersion during the entire duration of the print.

Achieve uncompromised layer adhesion and part strength.


DUAL PERFORMANCE EXTRUDERS

The Dual Performance Extruder system is built from the ground up to accelerate print times and provide dimensional accuracy across every part.

1) Smart sensors for material management and print protection

Leveraging industrial DNA, each Performance Extruder contains a suite of sensors that monitor when the material is running low and allows for active jam detection during the entire print duration.

It’s like autonomous protection for your print—and your printer.

2) Greater torque with a 19:1 dual-drive gear ratio

From great strength comes great performance. The 19:1 dual-drive gear ratio keeps material loaded and ready for reliable material extrusion at every layer.

3) Lengthened thermal core with less than 60-second heat up time

A lengthened thermal core and a fast start-up time ensure that materials are ready to go when your ideas are.


DRY-SEALED MATERIAL BAYS

Form a near-perfect seal with the Dry-Sealed Material Bays found in METHOD X to keep your material free of damaging humidity.

A suite of built-in sensors provides that your material is stored in its optimal environment – a feature only found in industrial 3D printers.


ULTRA-RIGID METAL FRAME CONSTRUCTION

A structurally-optimized metal frame runs the full length of the body to offset flexing. Less flexing means more consistent prints with better part accuracy and fewer failures.

DISSOLVABLE SUPPORT SYSTEM

Superior surface finish and unrestricted geometric freedom are paramount to delivering high quality printed parts. MakerBot Water-Soluble PVA ensures fast and effortless support removal without compromising part design or dimensional accuracy.

Key benefits include unrestricted geometric freedom (large overhangs, cavities, etc.) as well as superior print quality and surface finish.
