Continuous fiber optic cable

What is fiber optic?

Fiberglass is inexpensive and 11 times stiffer than ABS, making it the perfect fiber for getting started with 3D printing.

When should you print with fiber optics?

Use fiberglass to print parts at the lowest cost that are ten times stronger than typical 3D printed objects.

  • Tools
  • Devices
  • End-use parts

3D printed fixtures for a laser welding machine

Primetall GmbH faced the challenge of requiring different fixtures for a laser welding system due to the investment in a new facility. Previously, these fixtures were conventionally manufactured from aluminum.

Flexural strength

When bent at three points, our 3D printed continuous fiberglass is 11x stiffer than ABS and 26x stiffer than nylon.

FAQ

What is continuous fiber optic cable?
Glass fibers are extremely thin strands of glass bundled together to form a single fiber. Glass fibers are traditionally used in composite materials for boat, automobile, and aircraft construction.

How strong is continuous fiber optic cable?
Fiberglass has a flexural strength of 200 MPa (29.0 ksi) and a tensile strength of 590 MPa (85.5 ksi). For more information on the properties of 3D printed continuous fiberglass, see the datasheet.

How much does continuous fiber optic cable cost?
A 50 cc spool costs €83.00 including VAT and a 150 cc spool costs €230.00 including VAT.
