Anisoprint Composer A4 is a professional continuous filament 3D printer

The Anisoprint Composer A4 3D printer works with both proprietary, patented CFC (Composite Fiber Coextrusion) technology and standard FFF 3D printing technology. Composer A4 enables the production of optimized composite structures characterized by high physical and mechanical properties. End parts are stronger and lighter than parts of similar properties made with metal, thermoplastics, or non-optimized composites. In addition, they can be manufactured at a lower cost.

Features Composer A4

• FFF and CFC extruders
• LCD touch screen

Anisoprint Composer allows you to enter the era of long fiber composites

• Continuous fiber reinforced composites: 30 times stronger than pure plastic, 2 times stronger and lighter than aluminium
• optimal composite structures: Lattice reinforcement - minimal weight, price and production time for the required strength
• A4 format: 297 mm х 210 mm х 140 mm construction volume
• open material system: use any plastic (up to a melting temperature of 270 °C)
• two reinforcement materials: CCF (carbon based) and CBF (basalt based)
• full control over fiber path generation with Aura slicing software

During printing

COMPOSITE FIBER COEXTRUSION

During printing, the thermoplastic is reinforced with composite fibers. The compound extruder has two inputs: one for reinforcement material and the other for the thermoplastic. Any plastic with a processing temperature of up to 270°C can be used as matrix material (e.g. PETG, ABS, PC, PLA, nylon, etc.).

The composite's strength and stiffness are along the grain, which is why the lattices, which are made up of one-dimensional ribs, represent the optimal shape for composites. With composite filling you get maximum strength with minimum use of materials, ie minimum weight, minimum production time and minimum price of the component.

What is anisoprinting?

Anisoprinting is a technology for producing optimal composite structures through 3D continuous fiber printing.

The solution is based on the patent-pending composite fiber coextrusion technology (CFC). Various thermoplastic polymers can be reinforced, consolidated and cured with continuous filaments in a one-step, fully automated process that requires no post-processing or tooling. The two-matrix approach (thermoset + thermoplastic) ensures low porosity, good adhesion of the fiber to the polymer and superior mechanical properties.

With Anisoprint Composer, you can print end-use parts that are stronger, lighter, and less expensive than their other material counterparts (metal, plastic, sub-optimal composites).
