World's First Carbon Fiber 3D Printer

Gregory Mark was looking for a better way to make race car parts, so what did he do? He built a 3D printer that prints out lightweight carbon fiber.

The main advantage of the MarkForged printer is that the parts it prints out are 20 times stiffer and five time stronger than ABS plastic parts and has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than CNC-machined aluminum.
