Today, 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) announced it will showcase several new
product innovations at Formnext 2023 including materials and
printing technologies engineered to help customers meet a variety
of application needs. The company is introducing Accura® AMX High
Temp 300C, SLS 300, a new professional service for C-103, and the
DMP Flex 350 Triple — engineered to enable the efficient production
of high-quality end-use parts in a breadth of industries including
automotive, semiconductor, consumer goods, space, energy, and
medical devices.
High-temperature SLA Material Accelerates Time to
Part-in-handWith the introduction of Accura AMX High Temp
300C, 3D Systems is delivering an industry-leading unfilled
material with an unmatched heat deflection temperature (HDT) of
300°C, which is nearly double the HDT of currently available
unfilled materials. The new chemistry of this material does not
require a thermal post-cure thus enabling a more streamlined
workflow and reduced time to part-in-hand. These properties make
Accura AMX High Temp 300C ideal for high-temperature component
testing and general use parts for applications including HVAC,
consumer appliances, motor enclosures, and stators.
This material is already receiving positive feedback in the
market. “Accura AMX High Temp 300C pushes the offering of SLA into
the next level of performance for high temperature resistance,”
said Justin Pringle, managing director, Prototype Projects. “The
material surpasses any other SLA material with its unique HDT above
300C without the need for any thermal postcuring. The synergy
between this material and its Figure 4 equivalent allows Prototype
Projects to offer larger format parts to fulfill new and innovative
applications to our customers.”
Accura AMX High Temp 300C is planned for general availability in
the fourth quarter of 2023.
SLS 300 Expands Selective Laser Sintering Portfolio with
Affordable, Turnkey, Closed-loop System At Formnext, 3D
Systems is formally introducing the SLS 300 (formerly the Wematter
Gravity). The closed-loop system is designed to operate in a
smaller-footprint environment outside of a manufacturing floor,
such as offices, material research labs, or workshops, making SLS
available to a broader range of customers with a high-reliability,
affordable solution for the production of end-use parts. With the
SLS 300, it’s possible to accelerate product development and
in-house volume production with increased flexibility, lower risk,
and reduced manufacturing and development costs.
The SLS 300 is an easy-to-install ecosystem that only requires a
standard power source and an ethernet connection to be operational
in less than an hour. The system is compatible with a robust
material portfolio to address a breadth of applications. The
patented packaging ensures users do not come into direct contact
with any powder when filling the machine. The cylinders, made of
sustainable paper and wood-based packaging, directly connect to the
printer and fill it via a dedicated inlet on the front to keep the
process dust-free.
In its booth at Formnext, 3D Systems will introduce the new SLS
300 Powder Recycling Station (PRS). This fully automated unit works
in tandem with the SLS 300 to recycle unused material currently in
the system and mix it with fresh material. This allows the user to
fully use all material to maximize their investment while lowering
production costs and reducing demand for human intervention. The
PRS includes HEPA filters and was designed with acoustic dampening
enabling it to be used comfortably in a variety of
environments.
The SLS 300 is available for immediate ordering. The Powder
Recycling Station is planned to be available in the first half of
2024.
New Metal Material Delivers Parts with Exceptional
Mechanical Properties for Challenging Environments C-103
is a Niobium-alloy classified as a refractory material that is
resistant to decomposition by heat, pressure, or chemical attack
and thus retains its strength and form at high temperatures. C-103
has a high service temperature between 1200°C and 1400°C and is
capable of withstanding high stresses at these elevated
temperatures. Because of its low ductile-to-brittle transition
temperature, C-103 has excellent resistance to high-frequency
vibrations. These properties make C-103 ideal for rocket,
hypersonic, and jet propulsion applications including spacecraft,
satellites, and launch vehicles in the Space, Aerospace, and
Defense industries.
3D Systems’ DMP vacuum technology is uniquely suited for
processing C-103 by ensuring a very low-oxygen environment which
helps preserve the material’s properties since the material
properties are very sensitive to O2 exposure. With the introduction
of this material, 3D Systems expands on the recent successful
performance verification of NASA's new GRX-810 super alloy and
continues paving the way for advanced aerospace applications.
Application development services on C-103 and GRX-810 are
currently available through the company’s Professional Services
delivered by the Application Innovation Group (AIG). GRX-810 is
currently only available inside the United States.
DMP Flex 350 Triple Provides Efficient, Adaptable
Solution for Metal Part ProductionAt Formnext 2023, 3D
Systems will debut the latest configuration for its DMP Flex 350
platform, the DMP Flex 350 Triple. This compact, three-laser system
includes the company’s best-in-class vacuum chamber design and
extends the signature Removable Print Module (RPM) concept by
supporting two distinct RPM modules with different build volumes.
The company is making a wide range of materials available for use
with this printer at launch. Highlights of this new system
include:
- Larger build capacity, same footprint: The DMP
Flex 350 Triple features the availability of a new RPM with a
larger build of 350mm x 350mm x 350mm and can also accommodate the
standard RPM with a build volume of 275mm x 275mm x 420mm. This
renders the DMP Flex 350 Triple the most compact system that
supports a 350mm x 350mm x 350mm build area. This makes it an ideal
solution for cost-effectively processing a variety of parts
including instance impellers and cooling plates. The RPMs can also
be swapped for increased application flexibility.
- Seamless 3-laser load-balanced print
capability: The DMP Flex 350 Triple laser offers optimal
multi-laser load balancing and seamless surface quality scan
strategies. This results in no seams or changes in roughness in
zones where multiple lasers work together.
- Eight materials for a breadth of applications:
The DMP Flex 350 Triple is capable of processing a wide range of
aluminum alloys, including traditional cast alloys (i.e., AlSi10Mg,
AlSi7Mg0.6), high-strength aluminum alloys (i.e., A6061-RAM2), and
high-conductivity aluminum (i.e., CP1). This is an ideal selection
for thermal management as well as lightweight structural
applications. Additionally, nickel-based alloys such as Ni718,
Ni625, and HX are available for high-temperature
corrosion-resistant applications. Finally, 316L stainless steel is
available which is commonly used in the (petro) chemical, food, and
pharmaceutical industries.
The DMP Flex 350 Triple is currently available for ordering. The
new RPM with the 350mm x 350mm x 350mm build box is planned for
general availability in July 2024.
Future Innovation Showcase & Real-World Use
CasesAt Formnext 2023, 3D Systems will preview the PSLA
270, a new projector-based polymer 3D printing platform. This 3D
printer is engineered to deliver larger end-use parts more rapidly
than with similar platforms, bringing tremendous advantages for a
breadth of industrial and healthcare applications. Formnext
attendees are encouraged to visit 3D Systems’ booth to learn more
and provide early feedback on this game-changing solution.
“Our innovation roadmap continues to focus on advancements that
enable our customers to address a broader range of applications,”
said Marty Johnson, vice president, product & technical fellow,
3D Systems. “The latest additions we’re introducing at Formnext are
expanding the capabilities of our plastic and metal solution
portfolios to enable manufacturers to produce high-quality parts
more efficiently. It has been a privilege to see our AIG
specialists work closely with our aerospace and defense customers
on the most challenging applications in difficult materials for
extreme environments. I’m also energized by the potential of the
new projector-based platform we intend to launch in the coming
year. I believe the capabilities of this technology integrated with
our high-performance Figure 4 materials portfolio and 3D Sprint
will increase the role additive manufacturing plays in the
production of large parts and help industry-leading manufacturers
transform their workflows for competitive advantage.”
3D Systems’ solutions will also be showcased as part of the
conference program featuring joint presentations with
customers.
