Impossible Objects has announced the release of its new CBAM 25 machine, which it claims is fifteen times faster than existing 3D printers. The CBAM 25 will be unveiled at the RAPID +TCT tradeshow in Chicago next month and is set to revolutionize the 3D printing industry, bringing it into the realm of mass production. With commercial availability in early 2024, the CBAM 25 promises to break the 3D printing speed barrier, using advanced materials to produce parts with superior mechanical properties and tolerances.
Robert Swartz, Founder and Chairman of the Board at Impossible Objects, calls the CBAM 25 a game changer, stating that it’s the world’s fastest printer and is entering a new era of 3D printing with nearly unlimited material options at the speed of true mass production. The CBAM 25 enables engineers to design stronger, lighter, and more durable parts, with high-performance composite materials such as Carbon Fiber PEEK achieving very high chemical and temperature resistance and mechanical properties superior to most engineering plastics.
Steve Hoover, CEO of Impossible Objects, emphasizes the significance of production speed with the CBAM 25, stating that it completes the transition of 3D printing from prototyping to mass production. The CBAM 25 is capable of producing parts at a rate fifteen times faster than existing 3D printers, making it a huge step forward not only for Impossible Objects but also for the 3D printing industry as a whole. This new technology is expected to significantly impact untapped 3D markets such as electronic tooling and a broad range of industries, including aerospace, defence, and transportation.
