 Imagine being able to 3D print machine parts, tools and fixtures that are as strong as metal from your desktop. Yes, a revolutionary technology has been unveiled which can overcome the strength limitations of traditional 3D printed materials.
The Mark One 3D printer is the world's first 3D printer designed to print carbon fibre.

Carbon fibre (CF) has long been a material of choice for automotive and aerospace applications due to its light weight and extreme strength.
Now, this technology puts carbon parts within reach of all sorts of other industries as well, and allows intricate shapes to be formed that would be very tough to create using traditional CF manufacturing techniques.
The Middle East's first carbon fibre 3D printer was unveiled at the third Arabiamold, a trade fair for moldmaking and tooling, design and application development at the Expo Centre Sharjah.
"While 3D printing has grown tremendously over the years, the actual output has been limited to plastic parts with no strength properties. MarkForged's technology allowed to 3D print actual working prototypes with higher strength and improved functionality using Kevlar, carbon fibre, nylon and fibreglass among others," said Ashish Panjabi, COO, Jacky's Business Solutions.
Unlike normal 3D printed objects that are flimsy and unfinished, products made by the Mark One 3D printer are solid and light - the carbon fibre is interspersed with nylon to keep the weight down.
