Stop Metal Thinking

In conclusion of this guide, we would like to make a very important point. Composites are completely different from conventional materials (metals, plastics etc.). They are significantly anisotropic and inhomogeneous. This means that a metal (plastic) part and a composite part having the same purpose have to possess completely different designs! If you want to substitute a metal part with a composite part you should redesign one.

Note

Never adopt a metal driven design for composite parts!

Stop metal thinking – start Anisoprinting 😉
