LAURA GRIFFITHS HEAD OF CONTENT Welcome to the 2021 edition of the TCT Buyer’s Guide and congrats on taking that first step in starting or continuing your additive manufacturing journey! With the absence of in-person trade shows over the last year, opportunities to explore multiple AM hardware options in a single place have been limited. The TCT Buyer’s Guide offers a compact and practical handbook for the machines available on the market today. Perhaps like never before, the challenges faced this year have shone a spotlight on the flexibility additive manufacturing can provide to supply chain disruptions in addition to its ability to rapidly develop new products in times of crisis. Maybe you’ve experienced this first-hand and are now keen to explore how those learnings can be adapted and applied to your business going forward. But deciding where to begin can be a challenge in itself; the acronyms can be confusing, the possibilities overwhelming, and business justifications can feel daunting. At TCT, we have identified the three key stages of AM application: evaluation, adoption and optimisation. Perhaps you’re completely new to the technology and looking to invest in your first bit of kit? Maybe your organisation has already bought into AM but now you need to know how to put it to work? Or perhaps you’re already regularly producing end-use parts and looking to maximise your AM potential with additional capabilities? Wherever you are, the TCT Buyer’s Guide can provide you with the materials you need to make an informed buying decision. Laura Griffiths Head of Content, TCT Group

AddUp was created by two industrial groups, Michelin and Fives, after determining that the metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) machines on the market were not able to meet their requirements for high quality, serial production of maraging steel tire mold inserts. The collaboration sought to develop a Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) machine that could build tire mold inserts and industrial parts with quality, accuracy, and repeatability. Today, Michelin produces more than 1 million tire mold inserts annually with metal AM LPBF technology. In 2016, AddUp commercialized their first Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) machine: the FormUp® 350. AddUp acquired Directed Energy Deposition machine manufacturer BeAM Machines and metal AM service provider Poly-Shape in 2018 to establish a “one-stop-shopping“ strategy for metal AM.
02
From R&D and application development to prototyping and serial production, the AddUp group works with clients to provide customized industrial metal AM solutions.
AddUp offers: • FormUp® 350 Laser Powder Bed Fusion Machines • BeAM Machines for Directed Energy Deposition • Metal AM Consulting Services • Complete AM Training • Design for Additive Manufacturing • Part Production (Poly-Shape) • And more ... AddUp’s FormUp® 350 LPBF machine is a flexible and modular industrial Additive Manufacturing system that can be used for mass production of parts and prototypes. The system has a build area of 350 x 350 x 350 mm and utilizes either single or dual fiber lasers with an interchangeable roller and either a flexible or rigid scraper system. This allows the ability to use fine, medium, and large particle size powders to print complex geometries with cavities, internal features, and unsupported overhang structures.
Metal parts produced on the FormUp® 350 have a reduced design cycle time and highresolution surface finish with minimal or no support structures down to 15˚. The fully inert, closed loop system with autonomous powder handling, automatic cleaning, and long-life fume filtration help to ensure the health, safety, and environment for its users.

The Next Generation of 3D Printing, Powered by Low Force Stereolithography (LFS)â&#x201E;˘ Newly developed Low Force Stereolithography (LFS)TM technology delivers groundbreaking improvements in print quality and printer reliability using a flexible resin tank that drastically reduces forces exerted on parts during printing.
30
A custom-designed optics module, the Light Processing Unit (LPU), includes a high-powerdensity laser that passes through a compact system of lenses and mirrors which guarantee a clean laser spot and uniform print quality across the entire build platform for any part geometry. FORM 3
FORM 3L
The Form 3 provides industrial quality at a fraction of the price of industrial solutions. Plug-and-play hardware and software make set up, printing, and maintenance easy. Parts printed on the Form 3 are highly accurate, with surface finish comparable to injection molded parts.
LFS technology allowed Formlabs to scale the print process, enabling prints five times larger than the Form 3.
The Form 3 is equipped for nonstop printing, with sensors that monitor printer conditions and allow you to start a print anywhere, anytime. With user-replaceable components, the Form 3 reduces the need for replacement printer shipments, ensuring maximum uptime.
Within the Form 3L, two LPUs work simultaneously along an optimized print path. Cross-compatible resin cartridges and user-replaceable components ensure the professional quality, ease of use, and reliability Formlabs printers are known for.
Formlabs entered the industry eight years ago with the first powerful, affordable stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer and has since sold the most professional SLA 3D printers in the world. In 2019, Formlabs introduced two new printers, the Form 3 and Form 3L. The Form 3 and Form 3L, a vast materials library, and automated post-processing will continue to help businesses bring products to market faster, take more design risks, and ultimately create better products.

REDEFINING ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
From the production of improved robot end-of-arm grippers, molds and dies to advanced medical, dental and aerospace components, Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a transformative technology. When combined with software solutions that maximize the advantages of AM processes, manufacturers can redesign parts with dramatically lower weights, improved functionality and shorter lead times. For these reasons, metal AM revolutionizes entire industries – and the time to invest is now. However, many manufacturers still believe metal AM technology is out of reach for their plants, as the initial or ongoing material costs and cost per part are thought to be too high. Others are concerned about their limited access to knowledge about AM technology. And while manufacturers recognize that AM represents the future of production, shops still need a partner that understands how to profitably integrate
that futuristic technology into their existing workflow. As the world’s leading provider of machine tools, technical solutions and services for precision manufacturing, GF Machining Solutions has the breadth of experience and complete technology portfolio necessary to successfully integrate Additive Manufacturing technology into your factory.

Peopoly is a Hong Kong-based company that makes hardware and consumables for resin-based 3D printing. Peopoly launched its first printer Moai in 2017 successfully on Kickstarter and built a vibrant user community and reseller network. It followed up with Moai 200, a larger version of Moai. Peopoly launched Phenom in Oct 2019 to excellent receptions from industrial users. The combination of size, speed, and affordable price is attractive for businesses that want higher resolution print and shorter workflow time without the high cost. In March 2020, Peopoly launched two new large-format MSLA printers, Phenom L and Phenom Noir. PHENOM L - THE EXTRA LARGE PHENOM
42
With a build volume of 345.6 × 194.4 x 400 mm. Phenom L is 33% Bigger than Form3 L and over 50% bigger than Phenom. It also prints about 20% faster than Phenom and significantly faster than laser SLA printers like Form3. With
all-new build plate designs, Phenom L is as easy to run as the original Phenom while offering the ability to print even larger models. Phenom L can produce a full-size helmet in one print, which significantly speeds up and simplifies workflow. PHENOM NOIR - THE FASTEST PHENOM YET
Many users love Phenom‘s speed over the FDM printers, and they still want a faster Phenom. Noir uses a monochrome LCD panel that significantly reduces UV light waste leading to a speedier printer. When used in conjunction with Deft resin, users can expect an 80-100% increase in speed over the current Phenom. Noir also has 3-4 times longer LCD panel expected lifespan that Phenom and sports the newly designed cooling system to handle the heat from printing. With a 293.76 × 165.24 x 400 mm build size, Noir is also 12.8% bigger than Phenom.

WWW.RAPIDIA.COM
Rapidia, based in Vancouver, Canada, produces metal 3D printing systems for rapid prototyping and demanding end-use applications. Recognizing the limitations of existing metal AM systems - speed, price, part design constraints, operator safety - founder Dan Gelbart saw an opportunity to build on the significant recent advances in metal 3D printing technology with an entirely new process. The result was the development of Rapidia’s unique and revolutionary waterbased system.
This system has several advantages over competing bound metal offerings. Parts go straight from the printer to the sintering oven, eliminating both the lengthy debinding process, which can normally take upwards of 50 hours, and the debinding machine itself. This allows customers to start printing a part one day and have it ready the next, greatly reducing production time. Loose metal powder hazards usually associated with metal 3D printing are eliminated, as are the solvents normally required for debinding.
48
Rapidia’s process also enables users to bond ‘green’ (unsintered) parts together by simply using a small amount of water to stick them together. This is useful for creating assemblies which would require extensive support or otherwise be impossible to print. When sintered, the bond is indistinguishable from the inherent layers. Parts can be produced with any percentage infill for lightweighting, or
completely solid when maximum strength is required, without a maximum wall thickness. Rapidiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proprietary evaporative support technology gives users the capability to create the most complex parts, while eliminating much of the metal normally wasted on supports. Choose between polymer supports which evaporate during sintering, or hand-removable metal structures when sintering support is required to prevent sagging. From prototyping to final product, Rapidia offers the fastest, simplest, and most capable metal AM system.

Solukon became aware of the challenges facing metal AM users in 2013 and has been developing automated powder removal systems ever since. The company is based in Augsburg, Germany, and is supplying smart and high-quality solutions for the AM segment for more than 15 years. Since the introduction of automated SFM de-powdering systems in 2014, Solukon has become the pioneer and leader in the automated processing of metal AM components.
64
The Solukon automated depowering systems with their Smart Powder Recuperation SPR® technology are approved for safe and reliable processing of powder materials, including toughto-handle and reactive metal powders like titanium. Due to highly efficient and reproducible cleaning results, serial production and certification of manufacturing processes, in industries such as aerospace and medical, are easier to attain.
“Our aim is to give the industry a smart and highly automated tool to close the gap between manufacturing and post processing. Our SPR® technology helps to save labor time, ensures the most stringent demands of health and safety are met, and increases significantly the quality process. At the same time it reclaims the residual powder without contamination and makes it available for further processing and re-use”, says co-founder and CTO Andreas Hartmann
Solukon systems clean metal laser melted parts within a sealed process chamber, using adjustable vibration and automated two-axis part rotation. Through programmable rotation of the build-plate in two axes, unfused metal build material is completely removed from complex parts and support structures. Depending on the build material, the process chamber can be rendered inert with safety monitored inert gas infusion.

WWW.SPEE3D.COM
SPEE3D IS FOCUSED ON MAKING MANUFACTURING EASIER. Manufacturing in metal is traditionally very complex, expensive, and inflexible and this contributes to supply chain issues for metal parts. These supply chain issues have been exacerbated globally by the recent COVID-19 Pandemic. The world, now more than ever, needs elegant, simple, clean, flexible & reliable metal manufacturing solutions. SPEE3D are here to help solve these issues with metal printers that enable the most affordable additive manufacturing process in the world. SPEE3D 3D metal printers make metal parts the fastest way possible, leveraging cold spray technology for the production
of industrial quality metal parts in just minutes, rather than days or weeks, at production costs. SPEE3D’s patented process works by shooting metal powder through a jet engine nozzle at speeds up to Mach 3. The metal powder is deposited layer by layer upon a substrate intelligently controlled by a robotic arm. The sheer kinetic energy of the process causes the powder to bind together, forming a highdensity part without the need for heat to “melt” the metal. As a result, printed parts can safely be handled immediately after the build.
66
SPEE3D technology suits the production of parts otherwise produced using sand or die casting with the added benefits of flexibility and the ability to produce parts on-demand at the point of need.
SPEE3D produce the only expeditionready metal printers, field-tested and proven to be robust enough to be deployed by the Australian Army in 2020. SPEE3D technology is also currently being trialed by other defence forces including the Royal Australian Navy. Headquartered in Melbourne, Australian, SPEE3D is committed to helping manufacturers print their parts, their way, when they need them.
