瑞士挤出3D打印初创企业NematX已宣布发布NEX 013D printerat theformnexttrade show.
Designed to enable high throughput production with maximum process control, the NEX 01 is powered by a motion control system and slicing algorithm that lend it micron-resolution 3D printing capabilities. These, in tandem with the machine’s Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) compatibility, are said to make it well suited to meeting industrial applications in the most demanding of production environments.
Nematx的LCP 3D打印
与PEEKS或PEIS等材料相比，LCP由更短，更硬的分子组成，这些分子的组织方式可为它们提供吸引人的强度特性。在这些聚合物周围，Nematx开发了一种列表3D打印技术。使用融合细丝制造（FFF），此过程将LCP沿印刷方向对齐，以提供机械增强的零件。
Nematx利用其技术，拥有能够以高达25 GPA的Young模量为650 MPa的Young模量创建印刷品。这ETH Zurichspin-off’s approach has also seen it recognized as an industry innovator and helped it establish a client base.Nematx赢得了Formnext启动挑战在2020年，它已经开始营销自己的LCP丝系列。
据说这些化学和生物学惰性材料的强度比PEEK强十倍，具有低纤毛性，高辐射耐性，并允许在25 µm准确的零件中生产零件。NEMATX表示，它还使用复杂的在线监测系统将其LCP达到“最高质量标准”，以连续控制生产过程中的细丝直径和卵形。
该公司尚未通过其网站列出其全部材料产品，但有兴趣的人可以联系到请求Nematx的报价directly.
Introducing the NEX 01 3D printer
With the NEX 01, NematX has launched a commercial 3D printer to complement its software and material portfolio. In practice, the system works by controlling LCPs’ molecular alignment during extrusion to enable the creation of parts with improved thermal, biological, mechanical and chemical properties. Compared to traditional 3D printing materials, LCPs can also be deposited with much higher precision and speed, hence the NEX 01 offers significant potential throughput benefits.
To enable users to fully utilize these LCP 3D printing advantages, NematX has fitted the NEX 01 with a motion control system that allows them to closely manage extrusion volume. The machine also comes with a rapid build plate exchange setup that facilitates volume production, in addition to a fully-integrated process monitoring system, which enables adopters to ensure part quality.
一旦推出，该公司预计NEX 01的高级组件和LCP 3D打印功能将解锁“复杂技术产品的连续生产”。该机器现已在市售中可用，第一个单元计划在第二季度2023年进行交付，并且还将部署以支持NEMATX的3D打印R＆D R＆D和自定义零件制造服务。
Nematx首席执行官Raphael Heeb解释说：“我们决定为材料提供量身定制的硬件和软件解决方案，我们没有采取阻力最小的道路。”“但是，由于我们的整体方法，我们有机会通过将零件性能与高生产精度相结合，在聚合物3D打印中设置新标准。”
毫无疑问，LCP具有工业制造潜力，但它们远非3D打印空间中唯一的高性能聚合物。随着其发射Plus PRO 3D printers今年早些时候，机器人further expanded its high-temp PEEK production offering, which continues to find demanding aerospace and defense applications.
采取略有不同的方法连续纤维增强技术，，，，标记还为用户提供了3D打印高强度聚合物的方法。但是，该过程通过一种形式的碳纤维加固来进行，该碳纤维增强型的旨在产生坚固，坚硬且耐用的印刷品，足以替代铝制零件。
