3DCarb

3DCarb Student project at ETH Zürich. We are improving a 3D printing machine for composite materials

3DCarb.ethz.ch Our goal is to develop a better process.

The demand on lighter and more stable structure in aerospace and other sectors has lead to the effect, that two research-fields made a big progress. On the one hand, fiber-reinforced materials or composite materials are used increasingly in lightweight structures. This kind of material has a high stiffness compared to its weight. On the other hand, additive manufacturing, mostly known as 3D printi

ng, revolutionizes the whole manufacturing industry, allowing the creation of more complex customized structures. Within the scope of our focus project, we want to bring these fields together in one system. The previous processing of composite materials is often very costly limited in construction form and possibilities. 3DCarb offers a fully automated alternative, where cheap untreated material goes through every step in a really compact system and comes out completely finished. Our project starts on an already finished system, which was developed by Martin Eichenhofer, our current supervisor, in several years. The quality of the material has to reach the requirements for aerospace applications and the process velocity should increase enough to make it attractive for industrial use.
