RAPID + TCT 2017 PREVIEW


objects. Available options to create an integrated measure- ment system include rotary tables, tripods, a variety of com- puters and in-depth, on-site technical training. Units feature high light intensity and fast cameras. Comet models with 1M, 2M, 5M, 8M and 16M pixel arrays are immediately available.

3D Printer Filaments ABS, PLA, fl exible TPU 85A, semi-fl exible TPU 90A, PETG, PLA/PHA, HIPS, and PVA fi laments will be showcased. Samples of each will be available, along with example prints and spool size options. Spools as small as 220 g, up to more than 25 kg are available as well as Pantone-matched color options along with custom colors on demand. Continuous sampling and laser-gaged measure- ments produce fi laments with consistent ovality and diameter. Since 3D printing materials are sensitive to


light and moisture exposure, all of MakeShaper’s offerings feature UV inhibitors to ensure consistent color and are man- ufactured in a monitored environment, and then packaged in a vacuum-sealed moisture barrier bag with desiccant. MakeShaper

Small Industrial Grade 3D Printer


Raco FDM+ is a small industrial grade 3D printer based on fused deposition modeling technology. The machine uses the 32-bit Cor- tex M3 kernel ARM CPU to im- prove the computing performance. Raco FDM+ features full leadscrew and guiderail structure and achieves high precision in printing. It produces super fi ne detail, completely removing the impression of a rough model printed by traditional FDM. It is suitable for customized models which are used in industrial design, artistic creation and educational environment. Raco3D

Adds PolyJet Technology to Portfolio Proto Labs has added PolyJet technology to its industrial 3D printing service, providing engineers with the ability to manufacture elastomeric and overmolded prototypes without investing in tooling. Product developers can create 3D-printed parts comprised of both elastomeric and rigid materials as well as multiple colors. Material selection includes multiple shore A hardnesses and rigid ma- terials. PolyJet parts exhibit smooth surface fi nishes and can support complex geometries with fl exible features. PolyJet builds parts layer-by-layer. The machine jets out droplets of liquid photopolymers onto the build platform where they are immediately UV cured. Once the build is complete, support structures are removed, and the parts are ready without the need for more fi nishing. Proto Labs Inc. Ph: 763-479-7560 Web site: www.protolabs.com


Metallurgy of Powder Metals for AM


Composition and descrip- tion of metal powders spe- cifi cally developed for addi- tive manufacturing, metals include Inconel 625 and 718, Hastelloy, Invar 36, Kovar, and stainless steels, including 304, 316, 410,


420, 430, 17-4PH. Applications and descriptions include suitability for harsh environments, resistance to corrosion, precision tools, and molds as well as structural components. CNPC Powder North America Ph: 902-316-0218 Web site: www.cnpcpowder.com


Simulation for Additive Manufacturing Enhanced versions of exaSIM and Flex software tools en- able metal laser sintering users to predict what will happen before building their part, enabling customers to select the best build parameters, part orientation, and support strategy. exaSIM software tool enables part designers and machine operators to explore the effects of part geometry, orienta- tion and support strategy on residual stress and distortion.
