Detailed Description
# FibreSeeker 3
Overview
The FibreSeeker 3 is an enclosed desktop composite 3D printer that combines fused filament fabrication (FFF) with Composite Fibre Co-extrusion (CFC). Its two process paths support conventional thermoplastic printing and continuous-fibre reinforcement within the same part, allowing reinforcement to be placed where the print strategy requires it.
The printer provides a 300 × 300 × 245 mm build volume, fully automatic bed levelling, an actively heated chamber, a flexible high-temperature build plate, a built-in fibre cutter and sensors for both polymer and fibre material paths. FibreSeek's Rocket Slicer supports FFF and CFC print preparation, local file export and composite toolpath preview.

- PACF
- PETGF
- ABS
- ASA
- PPACF

Recommended use: Hygroscopic materials such as PETG, polycarbonate and PACF should be dried before printing and kept in sealed, dry storage during use.
Important: FibreSeek recommends official filaments for printing stability and quality. Third-party materials may require separately validated parameters and should not be assumed to work with every CFC material combination.

Callout Section
Recommended use: Select the FibreSeeker 3 for projects that require desktop FFF printing with strategically placed continuous carbon- or glass-fibre reinforcement. Validate the material combination, fibre path and final part performance for the intended load case before production use.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
What 3D printing technologies does the FibreSeeker 3 use?
The FibreSeeker 3 combines Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) with Composite Fibre Co-extrusion (CFC). This allows the printer to produce thermoplastic parts and place continuous-fibre reinforcement within selected areas of the same component.
What is the build volume of the FibreSeeker 3?
The FibreSeeker 3 has a documented build volume of 300 × 300 × 245 mm, providing capacity for medium-sized composite parts, functional prototypes, tooling, jigs and fixtures.
Which continuous fibres does the FibreSeeker 3 support?
The FibreSeeker 3 supports FibreSeek X-CCF continuous carbon fibre and X-CGF continuous glass fibre. Continuous-fibre printing should use approved fibre and matrix combinations or processing settings validated by FibreSeek.
What is the minimum layer thickness of the FibreSeeker 3?
The FibreSeeker 3 has a documented minimum layer thickness of 50 microns, equivalent to 0.05 mm. The appropriate layer setting will depend on the material, part geometry and selected printing process.
Does the FibreSeeker 3 have an actively heated chamber?
Yes. The FibreSeeker 3 has an actively heated build chamber with a documented maximum temperature of 65°C, along with a heated build plate rated up to 120°C.
What are the maximum nozzle temperatures of the FibreSeeker 3?
The FibreSeeker 3 supports nozzle temperatures up to 350°C for both printing paths. It uses a 0.4 mm nozzle for FFF printing and a 0.7 mm nozzle for Composite Fibre Co-extrusion.
