So it only prints 2D layers of composite fibers? (Which is basically a RepRap, except with fiber instead of heated plastic wire.) In the vertical dimension, it will be limited to the strength of the resin. The whole point of fiber composites is being able to orient the fibers to provide maximum strength. Being limited to 2D layers severely limits the applications.

This is good, give it 5-10 more years with the advancement of this tech, and it might drop in half(2500) or to 1000 dollars.

They may sell the printer cheap but the supplies expensive - you know, like the current ink printers business model...

if you don't weave the carbonfiber it is worth nothing ... building things out if carbonfiber is more like basket weaving. the structure brings the strength, not the material on its own.

I seriously doubt that the printed objects will have anywhere the strenght and lightness of the autoclaved oriented CF. Surely, you could print particulars with a CF look, actually made with CF!

Hey guys, that is just the beginning, yeah? In a few years it will be able to 'print' (do they mean 'to lay'?) Various lengths, widths AND orient the fibers in the desired direction. At least I believe so.

If previous posters are correct in doubting the strength of printed objects they should realize that many objects in the auto world are mainly bling and eye candy. It's amazing what some car lovers will shell out for bragging rights alone.

Printed CF autos, boats and airplanes are the future.

Yeah, carbon fiber filament for 3D printing has been around for a while (see e.g. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1375236253/proto-pasta-gourmet-food-for-your-3d-printer), so there's really nothing new here.
Now, put that FDM print head on a 5-axis CNC so you can orient the fibers at will, and you've got something...

I agree with most of these posters - At this stage the layering and "plying" of the fibers is not there to give the legendary strength, but for decorative CF looking pieces it will be popular enough to get a ready market. Covers, dashboards, all things that can overlay the real item will sell well.
