T
he technologies that come under the 3D printing umbrella are vast; from a $250 desktop machine capable of printing prosthetics to a $1 million machine printing fuel nozzles for jet engines and everything that comes in between. Machines come in all shapes and sizes; some fit nicely on top of your desk, some you’ll require a clean room; some specialise in printing one industrial grade material others print in any material you throw at it.
Creating freedom is an art: the freeformer revolutionises additive manufacturing.Highlyflexiblemanufacturing of functional 3D products from qualifiedstandardgranulateswithout a mould – from one-off parts to small-volume batches. Freely formed by the Red Dot Award winner 2014. A unique perspective, worldwide!

Regular TCT Magazine columnist Todd Grimm said recently that justifying additive manufacturing is a process, not an easy one, but a worthwhile one. You have to do your research when it comes to buying a machine and we, here at TCT, want to help you do that. Whether you want to watch videos on the latest launches, attend presentations by industry luminaries, visit an exhibitor packed tradeshow, read an insightful case study or simply glance at some machine specs, we have a channel for it. This past year has seen more machine launches than any that has gone before and navigating the ocean of machinery and their features can be tricky. This buyers’ guide is your jumping off platform to the world of 3D printing and additive manufacturing. With a pitch about the company accompanied with
some outline specifications you should be able to whittle down to the few that fit your needs. And your needs is what it comes down to; what areas of your business need revolutionising? Is prototyping taking too long? Are tooling costs getting silly? Do your customers want personalisation? Could you wipe out the manufacturing, storage and shipping costs of spare parts? There are endless possibilities for where the tech fits. It is no longer a case of if these technologies take-off or even when. Wheels are up and 3D printing is heading through the clouds. Thousands of companies use 3D printing technology at various stages of the manufacturing process in order to cut costs and time. If you aren’t cutting costs and time to market, you can be sure one of your competitors is. Don’t get left on the runway... Druck on

www.concept-laser.de Concept Laser GmbH from Lichtenfels, Germany is today, unlike almost any other company, one of the real pioneers and key drivers of powder-bedbased laser melting with metals. The technology driver here is the patented LaserCUSING® process, also referred to as 3D metal printing, which over the course of 15 years has evolved the additive manufacturing of 3D components from a rapid technology to the stage of industrial series production. When Frank Herzog founded Concept Laser GmbH back in 2000 in Lichtenfels, a metal laser melting machine was an entirely unknown quantity in the market. How is a 3D geometry created from metal powder using a laser? What does 3D printing mean or a digital process chain for the manufacturing of the future? The answer was industrial machine technology: Concept Laser unveiled the first machine of this type in 2001 at Euromold in Frankfurt. With about 65 patents granted today and approx. 120 patent applications, Frank Herzog and his workforce of about 190 employees
continue to champion and develop the LaserCUSING® process. The company caters for the global market for laser melting machines across all different sectors from sites in Germany, the USA and China and through a network of more than 35 distribution and service partners. Concept Laser’s high quality standards, expertise in processes, applications and materials deliver reliable and costeffective solutions which prove their effectiveness in everyday production and are primarily aimed at reducing part costs. In addition to commercial aspects, the process offers a large number of other benefits compared to conventional methods of production: The parts are lighter, the designer has new freedoms, the topology and geometry are optimised, additional functions can be integrated, and less raw material is required. What this means is parts that were previously manufactured using machining processes are now being redesigned to fully exploit the new potential offered by additive manufacturing.
Concept Laser offers a range of small machines (50 x 50 x 80 mm3) right through to the machine with the world’s largest build envelope (800 x 400 x 500 mm3). Machines from Concept Laser that are equipped with multilaser technology are among the fastest, safest and highest-quality laser melting

www.envisiontec.com Professional Grade 3D Printers EnvisionTEC is a leading global provider of professional-grade 3D printing solutions. Founded in 2002 with its pioneering commercial DLP printing technology, EnvisionTEC now sells more than 40 printers based on six distinct technologies that build objects from digital design files. The company’s premium 3D printers serve a wide variety of medical, professional and industrial markets, and are valued for precision, surface quality, functionality and speed. EnvisionTEC’s intellectual property includes more than 100 pending and granted patents and 70 proprietary materials. DLP® – Digital Light Processing The Perfactory® system builds 3D objects from liquid resin using a projector almost identical to those found in high-quality presentation and commercial theater systems, known as Digital Light Processing or DLP® projectors. Perfactory® system builds solid 3D objects by using a DLP® projector to translate voxel data so it is reproduced in liquid resin, thereby curing the resin to solid. Each data-set is made up of tiny volumetric pixels, with dimensions as small as 10μm x 10μm x 15μm in the X, Y, and Z directions. 3SP® – Scan, Spin and Selectively Photocure A multi-cavity laser diode with an orthogonal mirror spinning at 20,000 rpm reflects the beam through a spinning drum, where the light passes through a series of optical elements thereby focusing the
20
light onto the surface of the photopolymer across the Y direction. The Imaging Light Source (ILS) contains a multi-cavity laser diode, its driver, and all optics. SLCOM – Selective Lamination Composites Object Manufacturing The SLCOM 1 is the first and only industrial thermoplastic reinforced woven composite 3D printer on the market today. With a large build envelope of 30” x 24” x 24”, the SLCOM1 employs a new patent pending process known as Selective Lamination Composite Object Manufacturing. The SLCOM 1 is available with a wide range of custom made thermoplastic reinforced unidirectional or multidirectional woven fibers tailored to the customer performance needs. These composite matrix materials deliver high quality 3D printed parts suitable for use in aerospace, automotive, consumer products, sporting goods, and potential applications in the medical space. 3D-Bioplotter® The 3D-Bioplotter® is suited for bioprinting and bioengineering applications due to its specialized ability to extrude multiple materials in three dimensions using pressure. Materials may range from viscous paste to free-flowing liquid, and are inserted using syringes moving in three dimensions. Parallel strands are plotted in one layer. For the following layer, the direction of the strands is turned over the center of the object, creating a fine mesh with good mechanical properties and mathematically-defined porosity.

Sisma, between imagination and reality Sisma is a worldwide reference in the design and production of extremely high precision machinery and laser systems. Established in 1961, today Sisma can count on a long time experience over more than 130 different models of automatic chain making machines. Innovative by vocation, Sisma combines an independent and cutting edge design and production organisation with a wealth of highly specialised human resources, thus guaranteeing top product quality as well as a prompt response to market changes and requirements. Sisma begun already in 2011 with the development of the LMF (Laser Metal Fusion) project, the additive manufacturing process that uses a high power laser beam to realise threedimensional metal objects through the fusion of thin layers of metallic powder, and presented its first LMF 3D printer mysint already in 2014. Today Sisma is offering mysint in dedicated solutions, as suggested configurations for the dental, industry and jewellery markets, where the company is today mostly active in, offering multiple options to enhance performance with precious metal powders and ensuring safety while handling with reactive materials, among the others. mysint is a useradjustable system where each

www.slm-solutions.com Multi laser melting system on its way to series production. The development of the generative process enabled the creation of the laser melting systems for metals. Initially they were used only for prototype, but the rapid developments of the past 10 years allow the use in the production. Today the layer manufacturing technologies help companies increasing the process of implementing new constructions such as lightweight and bionic design, integrating more and more functionality within a component, using new materials and developing competitive advantages. The limitation in the design gives a way to the freeform surfacing. A new quality arises on the original assembly of parts and components: installation savings by merging assemblies in a building process, which is completely created in a “printing process”. At the same time, weight savings are already achieved in many cases, fewer resources are needed, less waste will be produced, and the excess powder from the building process will be reused. This development invites companies rethinking their production processes.
Currently, the laser melting process used in the transformation of prototypes is evolving into a manufacturing technology that allows to the serial production of large quantities of customized components at reduced costs. Further “industrializing” the technology will allow operating to four lasers at the same time. The technology will be integrated into existing production chains, ensuring that the quality of reproducible parts is 100% guaranteed. Already, additive manufacturing, as an innovative technology, integrates industry 4.0. We aim to achieve automation of all intermediary steps into a closed loop of the entire process - from reading the data to the output of the finished component and the launch of the next automated production process. 3D printing will
This vision will be greatly boosted by the expanding capabilities of 3D printing itself. As a part of the Horizon 2020 framework programme, the project “Repair” with European funding, performs the work-up of worn parts in the work area MRO in aviation. Initial results are very promising.
