The award-winning CBAM 25 industrial-grade 3D printer is now available for European customers following its successful global debut this summer.
Impossible Objects, Inc., a leader in industrial-grade 3D printing technologies, has announced the commercial availability of its flagship high-speed, high-volume 3D printer, the CBAM 25, for European customers. This comes after its global launch at the RAPID+TCT trade show in June.
The CBAM 25 has already generated significant interest in North America, where its ability to print 60-micron layers in just four seconds has drawn multiple customers. The first unit is set to be installed in the U.S. by the end of 2024.
By expanding the availability of Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) technology, Impossible Objects is making 3D printing viable for mass production rather than just prototyping.
The announcement also coincides with the company’s successful participation at AM tradeshow Formnext in Frankfurt last week, where the CBAM 25 drew considerable interest from manufacturers across key industries.
In a press release, Steve Hoover, CEO of Impossible Objects stated:
“Following the overwhelming interest we saw during the CBAM 25 launch earlier this year, it’s no surprise we replicated that enthusiasm at Formnext last week. We’ve garnered significant attention, especially from leading automotive manufacturers, who were impressed by the printer’s unmatched speed, precision, and ability to produce robust, flat parts without warping or shrinkage.”
Redefining Industrial Additive Manufacturing
The CBAM 25 sets new benchmarks in speed and efficiency. It prints up to 15 times faster than HP’s Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and significantly outperforms traditional SLS and FDM technologies. The company says it is the fastest 3D printer available today.
The CBAM 25’s advanced technology enables it to produce composite parts from carbon fiber, fiberglass, nylon, and PEEK. These parts are significantly stronger than those produced using traditional 3D printing methods, with tight tolerances of up to 100 microns. This is therefore an ideal solution for industries requiring precision and durability. The printer also delivers low costs for high-volume production, unlocking opportunities in previously untapped markets.
Transforming the Industry with CBAM Technology
For Robert Swartz, founder and chairman of Impossible Objects,
“We’ve invented a fundamentally new way to 3D print—radically different from traditional methods—that’s transforming how objects are made. Our goal is to produce better parts than competing CNC machines, at lower costs and higher speeds, enabling us to meet the demands of production-scale manufacturing.”
Impossible Objects’ CBAM technology has already proven successful in various industries, including aerospace, defense, transportation, electronics, and more. The company counts prestigious names like Siemens, Honeywell, Boeing, and the U.S. military among its clients.
The CBAM 25 recently earned the SMTA International 2024 Global Technology Award in the 3D Printing category.
With its European debut, Impossible Objects is poised to drive the next wave of innovation in additive manufacturing.
