Pushing the Limits of 3D Printing: Carbon Fiber PEKK Under Pressure

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eiiOdWXjCs

Hey there, fellow 3D printing enthusiasts! Today, we’ve got something truly exciting to share with you. We’re diving into the world of 3D printing with carbon fiber PEKK, and we’re putting it to the ultimate test. Join us as we explore this extraordinary material and see how it performs under intense pressure. So, without further ado, let’s get started!

Stress Testing with Carbon Fiber PEKK

We’ve got a mission today, and it’s no small feat. We’re going to push the boundaries of what carbon fiber PEKK can endure. Our goal? To create a part that can withstand intense pressure, something as robust as a scuba tank. While I’m confident in my 3D printing abilities, this challenge is anything but ordinary. To ensure success, we’ve enlisted the help of Rob, a seasoned expert in the field. Rob’s experience will be invaluable as we venture into uncharted territory.

The Pressure is On

As we prepare for this high-stakes print, there’s an air of excitement and tension in the room. The part we’re about to create will face immense pressure, both literally and figuratively. It’s a make-or-break moment, and the anticipation is palpable. We’re about to find out if our meticulous planning and expertise will pay off or if we’ll encounter unexpected hurdles along the way.

Pressure Testing in Progress

The moment of truth has arrived. We’re running the pressure test, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Our part is designed to endure forces reaching several thousand psi, a true testament to the strength of carbon fiber PEKK. As we begin the test, there’s a sense of excitement in the air. The layers are holding, and it’s a sight to behold. The carbon fiber component is shining in its element, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

A Resounding Success

The pressure keeps mounting, and we’re well past 90 bars. But here’s the good news—it’s holding strong. The print has exceeded our expectations, showcasing the remarkable capabilities of carbon fiber PEKK. The layer quality is exceptional, and the Z-axis precision is nothing short of outstanding. We’ve achieved our goal, and it’s a resounding success.

Sample Materials for You

If you’re as intrigued by these materials as we are and want to get a feel for them, you’re in luck. We’ve prepared sample parts that allow you to experience the texture and quality of our filaments. Simply let us know your application and what you’re looking for, and we’ll send you physical samples. It’s a fantastic way to compare our filaments to others and make an informed decision for your projects.
