How do they cut the carbon fibre when the head moves between extrude paths?
I'm quite certain the strength of a 3D printed part (for example a curved shell like a nose cone, a wing tip or something like that) with carbon strands embedded in the filament never can compete...
Even if it was (short) strands of fibre in the filament, which I guess would increase the risk of clogging the print head substantially. The fibre would only follow the layer path of the print...
I'm curios about the actual benefit of carbon fibre filament.
As far as I know a lot of the strength of composites which usually use carbon (or glass) fibre weaves comes from the way the different...
