I* impossu Objects' Impossible Objects WHY CBAM 25? Capable of print speeds 15x faster than the nearest competitor, the CBAM 25 is changing the way things are made by bringing the power of 3D printing to volume manufacturing. Faster 3D Printing: The CBAM 25 prints 25 feet per minute and produces parts 15x faster than any other technology on the market. Better Dimensional Accuracy: Long-carbon fibers are combined with 50 micron-size polymer powders, enabling the CBAM 25 to achieve tolerances up to 125 microns. Stronger & More Versatile Materials: CBAM 25 advanced composite material set achieves very high chemical and temperature resistance and mechanical properties superior to most engineering plastics. UL 94V-0 Certified WHAT IS CBAM? CBAM or Composite Based Additive Manufacturing uses high-speed printing methods to produce high-performance composite parts without tooling or messy resins. Long-fiber sheets of carbon fiber or fiberglass are combined with PEEK and other high-performance polymer powders. Once the excess polymer powder is vacuumed from each individual sheet, they are stacked in the shape of the CAD bitmap file. Next, the stack of sheets are heated and compressed to the melting point of the polymer and finally, the unbonded portions of sheet fibers are removed through manual or automated bead blasting processes. What is left is an advanced composite part with an excellent strength-to-weight ratio compared to aluminum. CBAM 25 INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY Productivity cm3/hour* * CBAM 25 numbers account for real-world packaging density and machine uptime. Raw print speed for CBAM 25 is 10,000 @/hour.
