[JRT3D] is taking a different approach with PetBot, which cuts PET bottles into tape and then turns it into filament. See the videos after the break. Cutting the tape and extrusion happens in two ...

[brtv-z] shows us how to use that tape as filament for a 3D printer. The first step of the build is to actually create the filament. He uses a purpose-built homemade press to spin several tapes ...

Mikrosam (Prilep, Macedonia) has deliveredy one of its robotic filament winding machine, equipped with an automated tape placement (ATP) head, to private applied research organization Cidetec (San ...

Nevertheless, there are difficulties unique to TFP. In comparison to other techniques like tape weaving or filament winding, the process is still developing for large-scale composite manufacture, and ...

Mikrosam, a pioneer in composite manufacturing technologies, announces the delivery of its advanced robotic filament winding machine with automated tape placement head to Cidetec, Spain. This ...

There are plenty of great reasons to pick up a 3D printer, but it's important to find a filament that works for you. Choosing the wrong filament will lead to clogs, a stringy printing process and ...
