Carbon fiber filled filament sounds like an easy upgrade, but the reality is considerably messier.

Monitoring FFF Printing Before Defects Become Permanent
Material extrusion often has a problem: the 3D printer can appear to be working perfectly while actually building a failed part.
Model Targets More Reliable FFF Filament Bonding
A research team has proposed an uncertainty aware method to improve the weakest link in FFF: bonding between neighboring layers.
Vibration Assisted FFF Makes Stronger PLA Parts
A new paper investigates whether vibration assisted filament extrusion can make PLA prints stronger where it matters most: between layers.
Researchers Optimize Multi-Head FFF Bonding
A new study examines how to make multiple FFF printheads build the same part without creating weak seams — a critical step toward “collective” printing.
Laser Heating Speeds Carbon Fiber 3D Printing
A new study explores laser-heated rapid 3D printing of carbon fiber machine parts to lift speed and strength.
Researchers Develop Predictive Model for Supersonic Metal Particle Bonding
Researchers have found a way to predict the bonding of supersonic metal particles.
Soft Bonding: The Future For Soft 3D Prints?
I’m reading about an interesting new process for bonding soft materials that may have an application for 3D printing.
