In-house production of high quality Hybrid PLA/Graphene/Carbon Fiber filament
Continuously pursuing new and advanced materials for FFF 3D printing with improved mechanical/physical properties ADRINE developed a hybrid high quality thermoplastic filament for AM applications. Starting from raw PLA pellets and after controlled mixing with graphene nanoplatelets and chopped carbon fibers, the extruded material delivered accurate and consistent 3D FDM prints. The initial characterization of the material depicted a uniform dispersion of fillers and a commercial grade stability of the filament dimensions. Up to now, the new material can maintain a concentration of 10wt% in carbon fibers and 3wt% in graphene. More testing and formulation will follow soon in view of exploring the boundaries of this hybrid approach.
