不可能的对象宣布了其飞行员3D打印机，这是匹兹堡举行的Rapid + TCT 2017会议上的Model One。这家位于芝加哥的公司一直在完善基于复合材料的添加剂制造方法（CBAM）for several years和will now release its first 3D printer machine with this technology.
根据不可能的对象，该技术的三个主要好处是更强的零件，获得高质量的材料和生产速度。不可能物品的董事长兼创始人罗伯特·斯瓦茨（Robert Swartz）解释说：
到目前为止，还没有办法在这些公司需要的规模上打印具有机械和材料属性的功能零件。模型第一只是CBAM可以做的事情的开始。我们所知道的CBAM技术有可能改变制造业。
3D打印行业是在Rapid + TCT会议上从匹兹堡直播今年有300多家参展商展示了最新的3D打印技术。

CBAM技术的工作原理
Impossible Object regards its unique CBAM technology as“ 20多年来，第一个真正的新3D打印过程。”
该过程使用”传统的热喷墨头”将设计打印在复合材料的纸张上，例如碳纤维，玻璃纤维的凯夫拉尔。此后，床单充满了聚合物粉，“例如尼龙或窥视，导致粉末粘贴在纸上放在喷墨上的地方。”
Once excess powder is removed with a vacuum, the sheets are stacked, compressed and heated in a furnace. This binds the polymer powder together and melts the sheets to form one solid object. Uncoated fibers are then removed with chemicals or mechanically and the user is left with “一个异常耐用，轻巧的物体，以前无法如此迅速，廉价地制造出来。”
更强的零件
根据不可能的对象，使用CBAM工艺生产的3D打印零件可能会更强大10倍。此外，CBAM生产的零件本质上也很轻。
材料范围
不可能的对象表明，与设备兼容的广泛材料是CBAM的另一个好处。该公司指出，“使公司能够从高性能材料（例如窥视和碳纤维）建立真正的功能零件。”
In addition, due to the use of composites, Impossible Objects believe printed parts will be flexible in their application. Functionality is one of the main selling points of the machine as Impossible Objects state,
该模型使用最广泛的材料选择，以规模为3D打印功能零件。
速度
不可能的对象state that the CBAM technology “有可能使公司在生产速度上建立重要的零件比当前方法快100倍。”The company believes also that due to the functionality of the parts produced, the machine could be used to produce both a prototype and the final product.
主席兼创始人罗伯特·斯瓦茨（Robert Swartz）正如他所说的那样回应了这一点
We’ve seen tremendous interest from a range of companies who want the advantages of 3D printing for their high-volume manufacturing and for materials they cannot get elsewhere,
可用性
The Model One machine will roll out to select Fortune 500 companies before it is available to the general public in early 2018. One of the pilot program partners is Jabil. The international manufacturing company was also北美的第一家获得HP Jet Fusion 4200的公司.
Jabil AM生态系统发展与战略高级总监Greg Ojeda说：“we believe Impossible Objects’ CBAM could become an enabling technology for high-volume manufacturing.”在添加之前，
We’ve identified applications where Impossible Objects could deliver a competitive advantage and significant cost savings over conventional manufacturing processes. We are excited to take part in Impossible Objects’ pilot program and look forward to working with the Impossible Objects’ team.
3D印刷行业最近还听到了Jabil的数字制造总监，Rush LaSelle,on his thoughts on 3D Printing: The Next Five Years.
