CFRP-Compatible Large 3D Printer by Caracol for Parts Manufacturing <Zoom Online Seminar> - An overview of UCHIDA, which has introduced Japan's first CFRP-compatible Caracol robotic arm-type large pellet 3D printer, showcasing circular parts manufacturing technology and practical applications.
In the automotive and aerospace industries, there is an urgent and critical challenge to improve fuel efficiency, leading to active development of materials and component manufacturing technologies aimed at further weight reduction. Uchida Co., Ltd., which boasts high technical capabilities in the molding and processing of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) with excellent characteristics such as lightweight, high strength, high rigidity, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance, has introduced the first CFRP-compatible large pellet 3D printer "Heron AM" from Caracol, aiming for innovation for the future and energetically working on circular component shaping and manufacturing. In this seminar, COO Junpei Ochiai will practically explain, using videos, the motivation for the introduction, CFRP molding and component shaping technologies, reduction of personnel involved in the molding manufacturing process, examples of achieving low costs through re-resourcing of molds after use, comparisons with conventional methods and case studies, efforts to reduce carbon dioxide through material circulation, initiatives for a circular economy, and commissioned shaping services.
