    Wow amazing, with that kind of printer you could make everything on your own motion sim, backet include. But how about the price? Maybe the cost of the carbon thread too much prohibitive? I will be aware of it. It´s very promising

    Not as expensive as I thought, but enough to use it only to make small pieces. Specially with the wearing of the nozzle. If the hardness is like the traditional carbon fiber has, is a good choice for durablity. I like it.

    Interesting, but they just seem to be reinforcing plastic parts with carbon thread.. After making parts in carbon fibre for quite some time now, to make strong/light carbon parts is a bit more complex then that. But will watch with interest to see we're this leads. Really looks like just a promotional video to drum up investors.
