3D Carbon Fiber Printer



We have seen various 3D Color Printers and those that can print an entire house. We have also seen those that can be used to print book covers. Until now we haven’t seen a printer that can print parts for cars or motor cycle. Well 3D Printer market caught up and good news for auto and motorcycle enthusiasts is that for $5,000 they will be able to get your hands on a 3D printer that is able to print carbon fiber. 3D Printer named Marked One by Mark Forged claims to be first 3D printer that is capable of printing Carbon Fiber with aforementioned price. This printer isn’t relatively expensive if especially if you plan on printing carbon fiber parts for auto mobiles and bikes.
Carbon fiber is known for performance part due to light weight. Carbon fiber products are well utilized by race cars and motorcycles. According to the specs, the Mark One will be able to print a maximum size of 305 x 160 x 160mm. It is also capable of printing other types of materials, such as fiberglass, nylon, and polylactic acid, although it should be noted that only one material can be printed at a time due to the printer’s design. 

CEO of Mark forged claims that the printer will be available soon for sale, but no specified date is given.
