The groundbreaking CBAM25 3D printer, championed for its astounding speed and ability to process high-performance materials, is set to revolutionize the European manufacturing landscape. Following successful installations with North American customers, the makers of this innovative technology are now targeting the European market.
The CBAM25, developed by Impossible Objects, is designed specifically for mass production of demanding plastic parts. Its pièce de résistance is its unparalleled printing speed; each layer is forged in a mere 4 seconds, a feat unmatched even when adhering to demanding materials like carbon fiber or PEEK.
“As expected, the tremendous interest that CBAM 25 enjoyed following its unveiling a few months ago was repeated last week in Frankfurt,” remarks Steve Hoover, CEO of Impossible Objects. “We had strong interest at the show from manufacturers across key verticals, including major automakers.”
What Makes CBAM25 Stand Out?
Impossible Objects claims the CBAM25 is 15 times faster than conventional 3D printing methods such as SLS and HSS. The machine currently offers four material options: PEEK or PA12 blended with carbon fibers, and PEEK and PA12 formulated with glass fibers. The printing accuracy is exceptional, boasting a tolerance of 50 to 60 microns.
Beyond speed, the CBAM25 addresses a key limitation of traditional 3D printing: warping of durable materials. This hinders the scalability of 3D prints for complex, high-performance parts.
“It is not only the speed that attracts attention, but also the fact that the strong materials are printed without warping,” explains Hoover.
This technological breakthrough unlocks new possibilities for industries requiring resilient components in intricate designs, including automotive, aerospace, defense, and electronics.
Redefining Manufacturing Processes
Impossible Objects aims to disrupt the CNC parts market. Their vision: Replacing traditional milling and turning with 3D printed plastic components, significantly reducing production times.
The company is currently undertaking the first installations in the US, following the CBAM25’s debut at Rapid in June. With Formnext behind them, Europe is now the next frontier. The potential applications are vast, promising greater efficiency and design flexibility across industries.
What specific industries in Europe are likely to benefit most from the CBAM25’s ability to produce complex plastic parts quickly?
