REPLACE METAL PARTS WITH 3D PRINTED CARBON FIBER:
Performance: Heated chamber that delivers stronger manufacturing-grade parts
Precision: Consistent, repeatable and accurate parts time after time
Flexibility: An open platform for advanced engineering materials
Usability: Simple intuitive user interface
Key Uses: Jigs and fixtures, Manufacturing Tools, and some end-use production components.

STRONG, HEAT-RESISTANT METAL REPLACEMENT PARTS:
Carbon fiber reinforced nylon is optimized for high strength, stiffness, and heat resistance making it ideal for structural applications and metal replacements.

Excellent strength to weight ratio – 110 MPa TS – for lightweighting applications such as robotic end effectors
Engineering-grade stiffness – 7600 MPa Tensile Modulus – for structural applications such as vehicular brackets and inspection gauges
High heat resistance under load – 184°C HDT – for optimal under-hood and tooling applications

SUPERIOR NYLON CARBON FIBER PARTS:
METHOD’s unique industrial feature set produces carbon fiber parts with superior three-dimensional strength and accuracy.

METHOD’s Heated Chamber delivers parts that are strong and and accurate.
Outstanding surface finish that hides layer lines thanks to METHOD’s Ultra-Rigid Metal Frame.
Print the most complex geometries including internal cavities with soluble support, or use breakaway support for faster print times.
METHOD’s sealed filament bays help keep the material dry, resulting in better print quality and reliability, and METHOD’s pre-print spool drying feature allows for the recovery of oversaturated filament.
