3D printer CBAM 25

Description of the printer
The CBAM 25 3D printer from Impossible Objects uses patented Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) technology, which combines layering of reinforcing textiles (carbon or glass), inkjet deposition of a preparation medium and subsequent application of polymer powder. The polymer adheres only to precisely defined parts of the fabric, while the excess powder is removed and the lay-up process is repeated. After heat treatment, a compact composite with exceptional mechanical properties is formed.
This method enables the production of functional composite parts with an effective layer thickness of 50-60 µm and high freedom of shape. CBAM 25 achieves production speeds up to 15x faster than traditional additive processes (e.g. FDM or SLS), making it an ideal solution for both batch and custom production.
The resulting components combine the strength and durability of carbon or glass fabrics with the properties of thermoplastic polymers such as Nylon 12 or PEEK. As a result, the parts significantly outperform most conventional engineering plastics in terms of strength, thermal stability and chemical resistance.
The 457 × 449 × 101 mm build chamber allows efficient use of print space and simultaneous production of multiple parts. The CBAM 25 finds applications in the automotive and aerospace industries, in the manufacture of drones, electronics and process fixtures. Its combination of speed, accuracy and durability makes it the ideal choice for small to medium runs of functional components in demanding environments.
