strations and manufacturing. The partnership will make it possible to deploy customised and optimised thermal solutions, particularly for plastics processors and on an industrial level, through the use of conformal cooling, made possible by high-performance 3D metal printing. These technologies lead to impressive increases in productivity that benefit all operators across the manufacturing chain, from mould maker to end user, say the companies.
AddUp and IPC have supplied all the material and human resources required and the new company will be headquartered in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region of France, near the locations of AddUp and IPC. AddUp is a leader in metal additive manufacturing, while IPC (Plastics and Composites Manufacturing Technical Centre) offers knowledge of the plastics sector, as well as expertise in optimised thermal solutions and the design of printed moulds to enable plastics processors to improve cycle times and productivity. Arburg has expanded the range of applications
for the Freeformer 300-3X – its largest model to date – with many in product development. The company says that the Freeformer 300-3X with
The new Freeformer 300-3X features three discharge units and a divided build chamber door. It is designed for industrial additive manufacturing and is suitable for automated use in production lines
three discharge units opens up a host of complete- ly new applications. It is capable of additively manufacturing complex and resilient functional components in hard/soft combinations, made from two qualified plastics plus support material. At the Rapid + TCT 2019 exhibition, Arburg produced moveable gripper fingers made of ABS, TPE and support material – in a single step and without requiring additional assembly effort. The designation 300 stands for the available platform surface area in square centimetres. This is
