Lyten has been chosen as the primary filament provider for Modovolo\u2019s innovative BFP 3D printing platform, which aims to transform the production of high-performance parts in sectors like aerospace and automotive. This collaboration leverages Lyten’s advanced 3D Graphene™ enhanced filaments, particularly the PA1205 filament, which boasts superior strength and lightweight properties compared to traditional carbon fiber options.<\/p>\n
The BFP 3D printing system developed by Modovolo is designed to facilitate US-sourced, US-manufactured parts, addressing the rising demand for large, complex components that can be produced right at the point of need. This modular and containerized design empowers manufacturers to set up operations wherever required without the constraints of long supply chains.<\/p>\n
Justin Call, CEO of Modovolo, expressed confidence in Lyten\u2019s filaments after an exhaustive search for high-performance materials. The PA1205 filament not only enables the production of lighter and stronger parts but also offers better finish and speed in comparison to competing materials.<\/p>\n
Lyten’s PA1205 filament offers significant advantages including a 100% improvement in X-Y axis tensile strength, a 40% boost in Z-axis strength, and a 50% increase in impact resistance. These properties make it an ideal choice for applications demanding aerospace-grade quality.<\/p>\n
Dan Cook, CEO of Lyten, emphasized the importance of local sourcing and manufacturing, stating that the partnership with Modovolo aims to demonstrate that high-quality products can be made domestically, fostering resilience in supply chains.<\/p>\n
The developments with Modovolo’s BFP system signifies a shift in how parts can be manufactured and supplied globally, with the capability to quickly establish modular factories anywhere in the world for aviation and industrial-grade components.<\/p>\n
Modovolo has been utilizing Lyten\u2019s filaments in its Lift Quadcopter-X, a versatile drone designed for various applications, from commercial use to defense tasks. The two companies plan to showcase their collaborative work at upcoming aerospace and motorsport events.<\/p>\n
