Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What is HyperCarbonLab?
HyperCarbonLab is a startup dedicated to bringing advanced 3D printing technology to consumers and businesses. Our printers infuse continuous carbon fiber into prints, creating parts with superior strength, rigidity, and impact resistance compared to traditional 3D printing materials.
Who can benefit from HyperCarbonLab?
Anyone looking to create durable, high-performance 3D printed parts can benefit. This includes hobbyists, engineers, product designers, and businesses in industries such as robotics, automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing.
Do I need prior 3D printing experience?
Basic 3D printing knowledge is recommended. Our filament and hotends are designed to be easy to use, but familiarity with installing and using 3D printer components will help you get started smoothly.
How long does it take to start printing?
After unboxing and setting up our extruder, you can start your first print within an hour. Our step-by-step setup guide and support team make the process quick and easy.
Products
How much does a HyperCarbonLab extruder cost?
The HyperCarbonLab extruder will be available for purchase once development is complete. Pricing details will be announced at that time. Stay tuned for updates and pre-order opportunities.
Do you offer a trial or demo?
Yes, we provide demo sessions for individuals and businesses. You can see the printer in action, test materials, and understand the workflow before making a purchase.
Can I upgrade my setup later?
Yes. You can enhance your 3D printing setup by swapping to different HyperCarbonLab hotends or trying new types of filament as your projects evolve.
Are there discounts for bulk orders?
Yes, we offer discounts for multiple units, educational institutions, and business clients. Reach out to our sales team for a customized quote at sales@HyperCarbonLab.com .
Features
What are continuous fiber reinforced polymers?
They are composite materials made by embedding continuous fibers like carbon, glass, or Kevlar into a polymer matrix, combining the strength of fibers with the versatility of plastics. We are currently development a PET-CF CFRP
Why use CFRPs in 3D printing?
CFRPs provide a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent stiffness, and improved durability, allowing printed parts to handle loads and stresses that normal plastics cannot.
What industries benefit from CFRPs?
Aerospace, automotive, robotics, and sporting goods are some industries that leverage CFRPs for lightweight, strong, and long-lasting components.
Are CFRPs difficult to work with?
They require some basic technical knowledge and specialized equipment for proper printing and handling, but once set up, they allow for precise and high-performance parts.
