Two new 3D printing materials are being introduced by Fortis3D for a variety of industrial uses. With the introduction of PA-GF20 and PK-GF20, Fortis3D has offered a thorough examination of the material properties of each filament so that engineers can comprehend the advantages and appropriate uses.
The Fortis3D team of scientists and engineers, with a background in polymer engineering, has developed stronger and lower glass fibre content reinforced polyamide (PA), also known as nylon, and polyketone (PK) 3D printing filaments.
The chopped glass fiber-reinforced PA-GF20 and PK-GF20 materials from Fortis3D are designed for 3D printing of high-performance functional parts. Both have greater mechanical strength as well as resistance to chemicals, extreme heat, impacts, and wear, which makes them resilient in harsh conditions. Applications for the materials include fixtures and jigs as well as industrial end-use parts.

YT has established a track record of providing good value for the money. They chose to push the envelope with their "stratospheric" Capra Uncaged 12 build, though, in their most recent offering.
YT's Ultra Modulus carbon fibre frame is utilised, which has a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to their High Modulus carbon material. This model is limited to 29" wheels; there is no option for mixed wheels. The geometry remains the same as other Capra models, the brand's long-standing enduro platform.
With a focus on optimising climbing performance, the parts list is selected to splash the cash. Adding to the weight-saving theme are Crankbrothers Synthesis Enduro 7 Carbon wheels and a Renthal Carbon handlebar.
Major players in the polyvinyl alcohol fiber market attempting to increase market demand by investing in research and development operations include Hunan Xiangwei Co., Ltd., UNITIKA LTD., MiniFIBERS, Inc., Bowling Chemical Co., Sinopec Sichuan Vinylon Works, NYCON, Inner Mongolia Shuangxin Environment-Friendly Material Co., Ltd., KURARAY CO., LTD., Ningxia Dadi Circular Development Corp. Ltd, and Anhui Wanwei Group.
