Briefing

  • Model One 3D Printer – Startup Impossible Objects created 3D printer able to make composite parts 100 times faster than normal manufacturing process and 10 times stronger than current 3D printers make
  • How It Works – Uses traditional thermal inkjet head that prints designs on sheets of composites, then engulfing each sheet with polymer powder, such as polyether ether ketone (PEEK), making powder to stick with inkjet fluid printed on each sheet, stacking them afterwards for compression and heating
  • Create High Quality Parts – Allows companies to build functional parts using high performance material like PEEK and carbon fiber, as well as strong, lightweight and customized parts with heat and chemical resistant properties and other enhanced attributes
