Anisoprint | Composer A3 & A4

Composer A3 & A4 - Benefits

More Control: Change the direction and volume fraction of the fibers to ensure optimum design.

Ease of Manufacture: Fabricate the parts that do not require curing, post-treatment, or machining.

Automation: No special tooling is required; the process is fully automated.

Reliability: The innovation is based on an extrusion-type process, a safe and affordable 3D-printing technology.

Versatility: Create optimum designs using a variety of thermoplastic polymer matrices: PA, PETG, PP, PC, PLA, etc.

Cost-Effectiveness: Consumes 10 times less power than SLS; The cost of 1 cm3 of materials is 5 times lower as compared to metal powders; The material utilization rate is up to 100%.

Composite Carbon Fiber CCF

Anisoprint CCF is a dual-matrix material, comprising a thermoset-impregnated CCF reinforcing fiber and a thermoplastic binder matrix.

The thermoset matrix ensures good quality impregnation of a reinforcing fiber tow and good adhesion to different types of thermoplastic materials. Different thermoplastic binder materials can be used to achieve desired physical properties, thermal, chemical, environmental resistance, or other properties. The material is formed in a process of coextrusion of the CCF reinforcing fiber and thermoplastic filament for in-situ consolidation.

Composite fiber is used to reinforce the plastic during the fabrication of the part, which makes the part lighter and harder than aluminum. The volume ratio of carbon fiber in the final product is up to 25%. The Anisoprint CCF 1.5K is supplied in 750 m fiber spools which is sufficient to fabricate a fully composite 56х56х56mm cube or a fully composite A3-sized plate with a thickness of 2.9mm.

Slicer Software Aura

The special slicer software Anisoprint Aura is included free for the preparation of printing tasks. It allows for the slicing of the 3D model in a given format (STL, STEP, IGES), optimizing and tuning the reinforcement paths and fiber volume fractions in the different zones of the model.

Aura offers the capability of defining different temperatures for plastic and composite nozzles, setting micro-layers with better thickness tolerances, and defining unreinforced printing paths, and break-away or dissolvable support structures to be printed with plastic nozzle.
