California-based 3D printer manufacturer Raise3D has well and truly lived up to its name by raising the stakes with the release of a brand new desktop 3D printer that is capable of producing carbon fiber-strengthened components.
Dubbed the 'E2CF,' this desktop 3D printer is designed to be able to create extremely durable parts thanks to the inclusion of a double-gear extrusion mechanism, strengthened nozzle and auto-bed levelling for better adhesive performance.
With the release of the 'E2CF,' Raise3D is clearly making a strong play towards filling the demand for a desktop 3D printer that is capable of handling carbon fiber-fortified components, effectively making carbon fiber printing more streamlined and accessible to a wider swathe of users, particularly those who aren't engaged in high-volume and industrial rates of production.
