Recently, a laboratory of ETH has developed a carbon fiber reinforced plastic 3D printer.　 　　The lab has found a new way to make carbon components: Develop a 3D printer to produce carbon fiber composite components. This method discards the cumbersome molds in traditional manufacturing. Use the special software on the computer to design the parts you want to manufacture and then print them directly with a 3D printer. The materials are mixed by heating and in a certain ratio.” We combine the advantages of 3D printing technology with the valuable properties of carbon fiber composites. “The researchers said.
　　Currently, the research team is debugging the prototype of the 3D printer and plans to test it early next year.
