Impossible Objects, an industrial-level 3D printer and materials producer, has announced that its flagship high-speed, high-volume CBAM 25 3D printer is now available to European clients, after making its global premiere in June.
Following its launch at this year’s RAPID+TCT tradeshow, the impressive capabilities of the CBAM 25 – which can print a sixty-micron thick part layer every four seconds – have already prompted several US customers to invest in the award-winning solution, with the first unit set to be installed by the end of 2024.
CBAM 25 3D printer – Industrial Additive Manufacturing
The announcement of the Composite Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) solution’s expanded availability highlights Impossible Objects’ quick development towards the worldwide market and marks a critical milestone in the transition of 3D printing from prototyping to mass production. The news also coincides with the company’s successful exhibition at Formnext in Frankfurt, where the 3D printer sparked much interest.
“As expected, the enormous interest that the CBAM 25 enjoyed following its unveiling a few months ago was mirrored last week in Frankfurt,” says Steve Hoover, CEO, Impossible Objects. “We had some very strong interest at the show with manufacturers in key vertical sectors, including one or two major automakers, who were impressed not only with the machine’s speed but also its ability to produce strong precise parts without warping and shrinkage and with unrivaled flatness.”
The CBAM 25 is the fastest 3D parts printer, with printing speeds 15 times quicker than HP’s MJF and much faster than both SLS and FDM technologies. For comparison, this is the same speed gap between the quickest human runner and a Formula One race car. The CBAM 25 is opening up significant new markets for additive manufacturing by producing composite products made of carbon fibre, fibreglass, nylon, and PEEK that are several times stronger than conventional 3D printing. It also has tight tolerances to 100 microns and low volume production costs.
“With the revolutionary CBAM process and the speed of the CBAM 25, our superior materials, and lower cost, we are fulfilling the 3D printing promise. “We are revolutionising 3D printing and are delivering what others have promised but not achieved. We have invented a whole new way of 3D printing radically different than legacy methods and that is changing the way things are made.”
– Robert Swartz, Founder and Chairman of Impossible Objects
“Our goal is to make better parts that rival CNC machining at lower cost and faster throughput so that we can meet production needs. Our success in markets including aerospace, defense, electronics, transportation, and otherwise have demonstrated the Incredible superiority of our approach,” concludes Swartz.
Impossible Objects’ customers include Siemens, Honeywell, Electrafly, Boeing, Ricoh, the US Air Force, RIT, UAMMI, the US Navy, NIAR, the US Army, and many others.
