ExOne，工业活页夹喷气式AM技术的全球领导者已经推出了新的#MakeMetalgreen社交媒体活动，引起了人们对其金属粘合剂Jet 3D打印机的可持续性的关注。该活动还旨在教育制造商关于使用金属粘合剂喷射比添加剂或其他方式的替代制造技术的好处。
可持续粘合剂与Exone
Binder jetting is a 3D printing method that involves depositing a liquid binder onto a bed of feedstock powder in layers until the desired 3D shape is fabricated. In recent months, ExOne has qualified an impressive portfolio of more than20 metals, ceramics, and composite materials用于在其机器上使用。
根据这家总部位于美国的公司，Binder Jetting能够在高吞吐量上使用“几乎没有浪费”的3D打印轻巧的金属零件，这与传统制造方法有很大的不同。可以轻松制造多部分组件，而不会丢失汽车，卡车和飞机的功能和燃油效率的组件，而不会轻松制造。选择利用Exone的粘合剂喷气式飞机消耗的能量要少得多，并且可以大大缩短制造商的供应链。
约翰Hartner, CEO of ExOne, stated: “Now is the time for manufacturers to rethink how they manufacture metal parts, and take a new look at how binder jet 3D printing can make metal parts and products more sustainably. One important aspect of sustainability is shortening supply chains. Our technology can consolidate several parts into one, eliminating extra manufacturing steps, and also reduce the need for parts to be shipped around the world for final assembly.
Hartner adds: “The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of de-risking supply chains and moving toward a decentralized supply chain, especially for critical parts. ExOne can work with manufacturers to ensure critical metal parts are prepared for 3D printing in an emergency and to help manufacturers redesign their parts for metal 3D printing in the first place.”
穿绿色斗篷
与#MakeMetalgreen运动一致，Exone安装了两台最新的金属打印机，即x1 25pro和X1 160Pro，带有绿色LED照明，以补充木炭金属框架和不锈钢皮带。所有未来的Exone系统都将效仿设计，以鼓励可持续的金属零件生产。
光滑的新设计也在Exone的虚拟现实工厂经验which will be publicly unveiled at the国际制造技术展9月14日至19日在芝加哥。可以在麦考密克广场（McCormick Place）西大楼3级的IMTS Booth 433103上找到Exone。现在已为有兴趣采用粘合剂喷射的精选公司提供了VR耳机可视化真人大小的模型. The machine redesigns, along with the VR experience, were developed in conjunction withBally Design, an industrial design specialist operating out of Pittsburgh.
ExOne’s arsenal of metal 3D printers
就目前而言，ExOne提供了总共四枚金属3D打印机。这创新+is an entry-level system used for research, design, and small part production whereas them-flex是一种与多种粗粒金属，陶瓷和复合粉末兼容的大型系统。X1 25PRO是一种大型3D打印机，能够使用全范围的Exone合格材料产生高密度零件，而X1 160PRO是用于高密度，高容量金属零件生产的超大型3D打印机。
ExOne’s patented Triple ACT system is also featured in the Innovent+, the X1 25Pro, and the X1 160Pro. The exclusive technology enables the dispensing, spreading, and compacting of ultra-fine MIM powders to allow for repeatable high-density part production across all areas of the build chamber.
