Carbon fiber parts have gained tremendous popularity in industries where performance and weight are interconnected. Automotive, aerospace, robotics, and sporting equipment all benefit enormously from the strength-to-volume ratio offered by carbon fiber parts.
Based on the complexity of the component, conventional methodologies for producing carbon fiber parts can be expensive. A new and advanced approach to producing carbon fiber components removes the expensive and time-consuming process of conventional tooling while also helping to ensure better quality parts. This approach takes advantage of stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing and advanced SLA materials to deliver precisely consolidated components with controlled surface finishes on both the interior and exterior of the part.
