Marine applications with the Mark One21 September 2015 | Sabina Gonzalez-George Press Release 2nd September 2015
The revolutionary Mark One Composite 3D Printer comes to Falmouth 3D Printing Week in September.
CREAT3D, the UK’s leading independent desktop 3D printer specialist will be showcasing the latest development in 3D printing equipment over 2 days during the Falmouth/Penryn 3D Printing Demonstration Week on Thursday 25th and Friday 26th September, in Falmouth, Cornwall.
The Mark One Composite 3D Printer by MarkForged, ideal for Marine applications, produces Nylon based parts that can be reinforced with Carbon Fibre, Fibreglass or Kevlar, creating very high strength, functional 3D printed parts, for working prototypes or jig & fixtures. The printer can also be used to embed other components such as sensors and electronics into the object during the print process.
So, why is the Mark One so revolutionary? In short, the Mark One 3D printer is unique. It presents completely different capabilities from other desktop 3D printers currently on the market...
CREAT3D is the selected partner to bring the Mark One 3D Printer to Businesses in the UK, providing customers with technical support alongside expert in-depth training to allow customers to understand how and where this 3D printer technology can enhance existing business processes.
Examples of the Mark One Capabilities The material combinations available with the Mark One 3D Printer provides a number of applications for jigs and fixtures, end-use parts, components (with embedded technologies and parts) through to prototypes for product design & innovation.
A chain link printed on the Mark One with reinforced Carbon Fibre by the Olin College of Engineering supported approximately 10 tonnes before failing.
The red urethane skateboard wheel was created by pouring liquid urethane into a Mark One 3D printed two-piece mould (a nylon mould reinforced with Fibreglass).
Tooling produced using Nylon with reinforced Fibreglass, with exact fittings embedded in the wrench during the 3D printing process.
The CREAT3D team of experts will be available on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th September at the Falmouth 3D Printing Demonstration Week from 10am to 5pm. The event is taking place at the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society.
