跨国印刷公司生命值公布了一个新的聚合物多射流融合(MJF)system alongside a fresh batch of metal 3D printing applications at theFormnext贸易展览会。
With the Jet Fusion 5420, HP has introduced a machine capable of 3D printing high-quality white parts for customers in the automotive, consumer, healthcare, and industrial markets. At the show, the firm has also provided an update on the Metal Jet S100 system it launched earlier this year, asJohn Deere已经开始使用它来打印其出售的农业机械的金属阀。
“Our focus on innovation and sustainability is at the core of everything we do for our customers,” said Dr. Jochen Müller, Manager of Global Digital Engineering at John Deere. “We are proud to be among the first in the agricultural industry to leverage the benefits of 3D printing for both prototyping and final parts production.”
“Leveraging industrial 3D printing platforms for polymers and metals, we are discovering opportunities to deliver more efficient, reliable, and sustainable equipment.”
Advancing Multi Jet Fusion AM
At Formnext, HP debuted the first of its new 5400 Series MJF machines: theJet Fusion 5420W。Featuring a 380 x 284 x 380 mm build volume and a 3380.84 cm3per hour print speed, the system is designed to allow users to manufacture with industrial-grade reliability, a low cost per print and enhanced part performance predictability.
根据惠普的说法，该技术已经允许Beta用户（例如DI实验室,Prototal Industriesand威格解决“创新的白色应用”。实际上，Prototal的首席执行官JanLöfving表示，它已经看到“对HP的Multi Jet Fusion家族的最新成员对新的白色应用产生了直接的兴趣”，这使成为HP数字制造合作伙伴感到自豪。
Elsewhere, when it comes to HP’s wider MJF portfolio, it was announced at Formnext that it’s now being deployed more extensively than ever before. Since announcing its cumulative 100 million MJF part milestone at Formnext last year, the company says more than 70 million more have been printed over the last 12 months alone.
这些数字无疑增加了60000spoiler closeout seals thatGKN预测3D已通过MJF 3D打印巴斯夫ULTRASINT TPU01。据说这些零件在HP的Formnext展位上展示史密斯I/O MAG烙印3D护目镜, designed to fit based on the individualized features of a person’s face.
惠普的跨行业合作
惠普还围绕Formnext的一系列合作伙伴而宣布了新闻。在材料中，该公司透露它继续与阿克马,巴斯夫,Evonik， 和Lubrizol在研发上，这有助于启动后者的新Estane 3D M88A，这是一种灵活，耐用的TPU，旨在启用复杂的晶格零件的3D打印。
在后处理中，惠普公布了战略联盟amtas well, through which it aims to help customers efficiently integrate unpacking, cleaning, surface finishing, coloring, sorting and quality control into their HP 3D printing workflows. One company that’s said to have benefited from this partnership isOechsler，它已设法简化了一系列应用程序的生产。
“At Oechsler, we choose to work with companies who have a shared vision of working together to deliver optimal outcomes,” said Matthias Weisskopf, General Manager ofOechslerMotion。“HP and AMT building a comprehensive approach from printing to an integrated post processing solution is a critical step in the adoption of additive manufacturing at scale.”
将金属射流S100放入测试
在金属3D打印方面，惠普揭示了如何金属喷气S100 3D打印机it launched atIMT 2022is progressing. At launch, the company explained how the system has been adopted and honed by industrial customers likeDomin Digital Motion,Lumenium， 和Schneider Electric, to improve their part productivity, quality and related costs.
During the show, parts developed by agricultural and construction equipment manufacturer John Deere were put on display. Designed to improve the performance of the fuel systems used in some of its machinery, these Metal Jet-printed valves are said to offer ‘significant productivity gains and environmental benefits’ over their predecessors.
生命值also says that by switching to Metal Jet S100 production, John Deere has been able to to test and fine tune parts such as windshield holders, while reducing their pre-assembly times from 30 days to ten, their delivery times by up to ten weeks, and their overall manufacturing costs by as much as 20-25%.
