INNOVATION | 3D PRINTING


“The Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle truly embodies


the meaning of hassle-free 3D printing,” says Paul Heiden, Senior Vice President of Product Manage- ment. “Our goal is to make 3D printing easy, reliable and accessible in order to accelerate the world’s transition to digital distribution and local manufacturing.” Ultimaker continues to highlight its Material Alliance Program, initiated in April 2018, with many leading material companies developing materials suitable for additive manufacturing using Ultimaker 3D Printers. These companies include Lehvoss Group, Arkema, Clariant, Igus, BASF 3D Printing Solutions and Huntsman. JuggerBot 3D has launched the Tradesman Series P3-44 printers. The company says that electro-mechanical architecture from Rockwell Automation ensures reliability and repeatable movement. Using interchangeable pellet extruders, printing can be up to 200 times faster than other machines and throughput can be optimised with JuggerBot’s Model 14L or Model 14S for more precise printing. A new Posi-Melt screw feature provides thermoplastic processing for a wide range of thermoplastic pellets, and with up to 50% resin fill rate with a standard Posi-Melt screw over varying speeds and temperatures. The Posi-Stop nozzle eliminates fungible drooling and stringing, reduc- ing the inherent and recurring need to spend time wiping the extruder nozzle. All JuggerBot 3D printers are built with an


integrated workstation that includes professional slicing software developed specifically for the Fused Granular Fabrication process, making tool path generation easier and increasing the ma- chine’s effectiveness. Pre-installed remote monitor- ing software is connected to internal cameras, enabling printing status to be viewed and control of the machines in real-time. Adaptive bed technol- ogy allows the implementation of lean production Methods with removable print beds machined


from cast aluminium. Designed for use inside subtractive equipment, a freshly printed part and mount can be removed into a machining centre for secondary processing. Vacuum capabilities make it easy to change bed surfaces and clamp large parts that are prone to pulling away from the bed. Unwanted moisture can be removed from pellets before entering the extruder with mobile drying units that can easily be swapped out during a material changeover. Using a program developed by JuggerBot 3D and proximity sensing technology, operators can utilise automation to simplify the bed-levelling process and repeatedly set nozzle position with ease. AddiFab, a developer and provider of both 3D printers and materials, has received an investment from Diamond Edge Ventures, the US venture capital arm of Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation. AddiFab is developing Freeform Injection Moulding (FIM) – a platform that brings the entire range of materials from the injection moulding industry into the world of additive manufacturing. The company says that with Freeform Injection Moulding, additive manufactur- ers will no longer need to compromise on the selection of materials or on product complexity. Backed by real life data, AddiFab has shown that FIM is equally well suited for the processing of rubbers and thermoplastics. A wide range of high-performance polymers from Mitsubishi Chemical have already been qualified for FIM. Markforged has developed the Turbo Print for


the X7 3D printer. The company says that the new feature doubles the print speed of the industrial printers without sacrificing finish, giving customers the ability to replace parts faster, take on more jobs, and see a rapid return on investment. Turbo Print is compatible with all second-generation X7 3D printers, which enhance the quality and reliability of the carbon fibre 3D printing. Mark- forged says that its 3D printers create strong, durable, functional products for all kinds of applica- tions in automotive, oil and gas, aerospace, and harsh environments.

Medical applications The Arburg Plastic Freeforming process continues to be developed for highly challenging applica- tions, particularly in medical technology. The open system provides a cost-effective way of processing biocompatible, resorbable and sterilisable FDA- approved original plastic granulates – resulting in products such as custom-made orthoses and implants.
