RAPID + TCT 2017 PREVIEW


Laser Surface Cleaning CleanTech laser products are used for surface prepara- tion, paint removal, and aerospace depainting, marine rust removal, automotive pre-welding ablation, or high-tech parts cleaning for bonding applications. Marketed under the Laser Photonics brand, the newly released CleanTech system incorporates Flex- ion technology that allows CleanTech to remove rust, paint, anodization, and other surface materials in areas


that are typically diffi cult to reach. The CleanTech Megacenter with Flexion technology offers a motion control stage that operates in both X and Y axes, allowing the trajectory of the beam path to move in various directions to clean nested parts. Flexion technology allows the laser cleaning process to effi ciently affect 100% of all sides of the exposed parts overcoming limitations of statically positioned systems. Fonon Corp.

Large-Scale Metal 3D Printer EBAM 110 is an electron beam additive manufacturing system that is capable of producing large structural tita- nium parts. The EBAM process combines CAD, additive manufacturing processing principles, and an electron beam heat source. The moving electron beam gun deposits metal via wire feedstock, layer by layer, until the part reaches near net shape,


followed by heat treatment and post-production machining. Real-time control is provided with IRISS (Sciaky’s Interlayer Real-time Imaging and Sensing System), which can sense and digitally self-adjust metal deposition with precision and repeatability. EBAM utilizes wire feedstock which can accom- modate a wide variety of metals and refractory alloys such as titanium, tantalum, niobium, tungsten, Inconel, and stainless

steels. Work envelope of the EBAM 110 is 70 × 47 × 63" (1778 × 1194 × 1600 mm). EBAM systems can produce parts ranging from 8" to 19' (203 mm–5.79 m). Sciaky Inc.

Co-Located UAM Hybrid


Fabrisonic LLC patented system co-locates both the addi- tive and subtractive elements of the company’s Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing (UAM) equipment. The patent covers enhancements to the Fabrisonic hybrid metal 3D printer. The patented UAM weld head becomes a tool in the CAT 50 toolchanger of a standard CNC mill. UAM technology is a 3D metal printing process that uses sound waves to merge lay- ers of metal foil in a process that requires no melting. Building in the solid state enables joining dissimilar metals and other thermally sensitive materials such as electronics to manufac- ture complex components that have distinctive features and attributes not possible with traditional techniques.

UV Inkjet Printing UV direct-to-substrate inkjet printing equipment offers full- color decorating capabilities on virtually any substrate: natural or synthetic, rigid or fl exible, fl at or curved. Vibrant, weather resistant prints can be produced on plastic, glass, acrylic, metal, stone, wood, vinyl, canvas and more. The latest UV Printer model, the UVx90, offers an expanded imprint area of 24 × 36" (610 × 914 mm) with a standard 6" (152-mm) height clearance for printing larger areas on products like signage or doormats. The printer includes eight ink channels, with four channels assigned to the CMYK inks, two channels for white ink and one channel each for primer and clear gloss. The built-in UV-LED lamp cures the ink as it’s applied to the product to create durable imprints that are ready for immediate use. A fl exible ink option is also available. LogoJET
