【Manufacturing World Tokyo】Prusa to Exhibit with Japanese High-Performance Material 'KARAKSA-F'

Nagoya Kogeisha, Ltd. (Headquarters: Nakagawa-ku, Nagoya City; President and Representative Director: Tomoki Okada; hereinafter 'Nagoya Kogeisha') will jointly exhibit with Prusa Research (Czech Republic) at the '38th Manufacturing World Tokyo,' to be held from July 1 (Wed) to 3 (Fri), 2026.

At this exhibition, the booth will showcase the latest 3D printer 'PRUSA COREONE,' highly acclaimed worldwide, alongside 'KARAKSA-F,' a high-performance filament developed by Asahi Kasei Corporation, to introduce a 3D printing environment optimized for high-performance materials.

Japanese High-Performance Material 'KARAKSA-F'

A high-performance filament developed using Asahi Kasei Corporation's cellulose nanofiber (CNF) technology.

Featuring high strength, high heat resistance, and low warping, KARAKSA-F is increasingly adopted for practical applications such as jigs, maintenance parts, drones, and robotics components.

● High Strength via Layer Adhesion

The unique properties of cellulose nanofibers enable instant high fluidity during printing, allowing for unprecedented strength in printed parts.

Prusa's Latest Equipment Optimized for High-Performance Materials

This exhibition will combine KARAKSA-F with Prusa's latest equipment to demonstrate a 3D printing environment that enables more practical utilization of high-performance materials.

Prusa's Latest Models 'CORE One + / CORE One L'

Equipped with a sealed chamber that maintains stable internal temperatures, enabling printing with materials requiring high-temperature environments.

Delivers a stable printing environment suitable for high-performance materials, supporting a wide range of applications from prototyping to functional end-use parts.

Print size: 300×300×330 mm, enabling large-scale printing Upgradable to a maximum of 8 heads, supporting multi-material printing

'Prusa USS Drybox' for Stable Printing

A filament drying system that stores and supplies moisture-sensitive materials in a dry state.

Enables printing while keeping filaments dry, ensuring stable print quality even with highly hygroscopic engineering plastics.

Latest 3D Printing Technology for Direct Silicone Printing: 'Silicone Printing Toolhead'

Demonstration of silicone head printing

This new technology enables direct printing of flexible parts previously difficult with conventional resin printing, potentially revolutionizing prototyping and manufacturing processes for gaskets, seals, and similar components. The booth will introduce this new option of silicone-based printing alongside resin, using live demonstrations and sample prints.
