3/29/2024 0 Comments Siemens generator partsThe partners leveraged the material and CF3D process to 3D print several generator parts that typically would be made using metal casting, a process that can be expensive and require substantial lead times. The material demonstrated Fiber Volume Fractions (FVF) of over 50% with a void content of less than 1.5%. With a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 227☌, the high temperature thermoset polymer is capable of producing large, complex parts impossible with conventional composite fabrication methods. Working for multiple years alongside the tech giant, as well as, material company Arkema (OTCMKTS: ARKAY), Continuous Composites was able to develop a Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). Continuous Composites demonstrated the possibilities of this technique through the production of generator parts for Siemens Energy (FRA: ENR). The company’s Continuous Fiber 3D Printing (CF3D) technology offers a number of benefits, not the least of which is the ability to 3D print and orient continuous fiber reinforcement materials along optimal pathways. Among the startups aiming to disrupt 3D printing and composites manufacturing is Continuous Composites, based out of Idaho.
