With the additive machine tool, the Wizard 480+ and the APS continuous filament technology, reproducible feather-light and high strength functional components can be 3D printed manufactured!
Tensile strength and density
With a tensile strength of 1.060 MPa, flexular strength of 720 MPa and a density of 1.4 g/cm³, our carbon fiber is 4 times stronger than titanium, In tensile strength to density ratio.
Difference to FFF/FDM

50-55% |
15-30% |
Fiber placement: |
Unidirectional (can be laid according to the force action) |
Omnidirectional (fiber direction along the flow direction) |
Fiber length: |
"Endless" |
approx. 0,1 mm |
Continuous fiber materials:
- CF fibers
- 1.5k with PA matrix
- 3k with PEKK matrix
- On request: CF 1 to 3k
- On request: CF with alternative plastic matrix
- Glass fiber
- Aramid
- Metal wire (e.g.: copper wire)
- Open for materials from alternative suppliers
Unlimited possibilities with the Wizard 480+
The modular design of our innovative tool changing system makes it possible to use up to 4 different print heads within one process.
Continuous fiber processing can be usefully supplemented with the FFF/FDM process.
