Industrial 3D printer manufacturer voxeljet (FRA:VX8A), headquartered in Germany, has announced the release of a new plastic 3D printing process forits VX200 system.
该技术，名为Polypor C2(PPC²), is an improvement on the company’s existing PolyPor B (PPB) process, primarily used to make investment castings for metal components. The main benefits of theprinthead of the VX200 system that is used in the PPC²被描述为“在高且一致的印刷质量水平”中提供零件的“增加寿命”。
While the mPPC²零件的AIN益处是高细节准确性/提高分辨率和更清晰的边缘。
Ground level introduction
By using voxeljet binder jetting technology, parts 3D printed using PPC² require no additional support structure and can be efficiently packed in manifold within the build chamber.
VoxelJet首席执行官Ingo Ederer博士解释说：“我们的新PPC²最初将在我们的VX200系统上提供。这是用于投资铸造铸造厂的3D打印的负担得起的，可为商业铸件（例如涡轮叶轮和涡轮刀片）提供有效的零件生产。”
精制表面饰面
Starting in voxeljet’s compact VX200 system, PPC² will be working in a build volume of274 x 174 x 127 mm(L x W x H). voxeljet also recently released a高速烧结（HSS）过程，which has a build volume of 300 x 200 x 150 mm.
ppc²uses Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) material which is economically better than polycarbonate (PC) in terms of tensile and flexural strength, transparency, polishability, and UV tolerance.
There is a noticeable improvement in the surface quality of samples made using PPB and PPC². This is due to a finer PMMA particulate quality (37 μm/0,037 mm) in the PPC² system and a new minimum layer thickness of 100 μm.
托拜厄斯格伦(产品经理,voxeljet)补充说“by using our new and improved binder, we expect our industrial print heads to have an increased lifetime at a high and consistent printing quality level. Moreover, the unbound PMMA powder can be reused and recycled for forthcoming printing jobs, which ensures efficient material usage.”
PPC²流程将于10月15日至18日在肯塔基州卡温顿的ICI 2017上正式介绍。查看我们的页面更多3D打印活动near you.
