Nikola Tesla in his 60s adjusting a radio device in his lab in New York City. Like most significant inventions, radio had not just one âfather,â but many. British mathematician James Clerk Maxwell first proved the existence of radio waves mathematically in 1864.
Cutting with Rotary Tools. Rotary tools are the most widely used method for cutting composite laminates. Whether you are cutting carbon fiber sheet or a fiberglass hull, there is usually a rotary tool just right for the job. Rotary cutting tools vary from small handheld rotary tools, like a Dremel or pneumatic rotary, to routers and even angle grinders.
Increased rigidity from the carbon fiber means increased structural support but decreased flexibility, making our Carbon Fiber PLA an ideal material for frames, supports, shells, propellers, tools... really anything not expected (or desired) to bend. It is particularly loved by drone builders and and RC hobbyists. Because of the chopped carbon, Proto-pasta Carbon Fiber PLA may have trouble getting through smaller nozzles. We have had good success using a .5mm nozzle and direct-drive spring loaded pinch-roll style extrusion head.
