PROTOTYPING LARGE PART 3D SCANNER
Creaform announced the launch of its MAX Series of HandySCAN 3D scanners. Designed to acquire 3D measurements of large and complex surfaces, the handheld scanner line offers a 3D scanning area of approximately 1m x 1m to facilitate the measurement of parts or assemblies up to 15m. It also features multiple scanning modes ranging from fast scanning time to maximum resolution. The metrology-grade scanner also features volumetric accuracy of 0.100mm + 0.015 mm/m, ISO 17025 accreditation and compliance with the VDI/VDE 2634 part 3 standard. Additionally, MAX series includes Creaform’s dynamic referencing algorithms. Key features include Flex Volume, which allows short standoff distance scanning and high speed measurement of large parts from a longer standoff distance. The scanner’s Smart Surface Algorithm features image processing combined with AI to optimize surface measurements while Real-Time Calibration integrates the calibration step directly into the scanning workflow. www.creaform3d.com
3D PRINTER FARM
Mosaic Manufacturing announced it has begun
shipping its self-contained print farm system, the Mosaic Array, which incorporates four of the company’s Element HT 3D FFF printers. The Element HT feature a 14 x 14 x 14-inch build volume that can print up to 8 materials in a single part. Each printer also features a heated build volume and includes a high temp head (up to 500ºC) and a low temp head (up to 300ºC) that can be swapped out without tools. In total, the Array accommodates up to 32 individual material spools.
To manage and switch between different build materials, or a back up of the same material, the system includes the Palette X, an industrial version of the company’s Palette 3 multi-material management system. In total, the company offers 16 Array-compatible build materials, including PLA, PETG and ABS, flexible materials like TPU and industrial materials like PEEK and PEKK, as well as three support materials. In addition, the system also supports third-party build materials, the company says. Once a print is complete, the Array’s robotic gantry system automatically removes the part from the printer. www.mosaicmfg.com
ATEX certification and IECEx/cETLus listing. In addition to its explosion proof approvals, the high voltage servo motor offers speeds up to 7,500 rpm with high torque density, the company says. It also offers resolver feedback and a built-in thermostat. Goldline EBH servo motors are offered in frame sizes 1 - 6. They join other explosion proof motors in the Goldline EB family that meet ATEX/IECEx standards, and more specifically CE 0081 Ex II 2 G Ex d IIB T3 Gb –40ºC ≤ Ta ≤ 40ºC. This classification means the
motors are suitable for use in any above-ground industry where easily ignited gases are likely to be present in the atmosphere for 10 to 1,000 hours/year during normal operation (Zones 1 and 2). www.electromate.com
