Accelerating 3D Technologies

WELCOME

to the 2015/2016 TCT Machine Manufacturers’ Buyers’ Guide

ne of the questions we get asked most at TCT is: “What 3D printer should I buy?” Personally, I’ve been asked this by a ten-year-old at Big Bang Fair who wanted to print her Minecraft manifestations and a Qatari businessman at AMUG who wanted to manufacture parts for passenger ferries. The sheer scope of technologies in the additive manufacturing industry means that this question is, invariably, impossible to answer. In the June 2015 issue of TCT Magazine esteemed industry consultant, Todd Grimm, penned his thoughts on the misinformation that is spread so easily by answering questions like the one posed above. Todd mused that there is too much information for one person alone to know in order to offer the best possible insight. This is where the annual TCT Machine Manufactuers’ Buyers’ Guide comes into play. Though we all know this industry is decades old the G-force we’re experiencing at this moment in time from the hyperdrive acceleration in awareness and investment is mindboggling. On almost a daily basis we see companies launching a new device that claims to be the best, the fastest, the most accurate machine on the market. It is impossible to keep up.

This very guide you’re holding in your hands now is designed to strip away those claims and give you some cold, hard facts about the features you have told us are most important to consider when buying a machine. Whether you’ve got under a thousand dollars for a machine to print plastic creations in a classroom or you’re looking at investing hundreds of thousands into a machine to slot right into your production line, the TCT Buyers Guide will help you make the decision. The guide perfectly complements the online directory on www.tctmagazine. com that provides a geographical representation of service providers, machine producers, materials suppliers and industry consultants. I’m going to carry at least twenty copies of this guide with me at all times so whenever somebody asks me “Which 3D Printer should I buy?” I can thrust this into their palms without the fear of spreading misinformation.

www.blueprinter.dk The Danish 3D printing pioneers launch the next generation of the Blueprinter. The new 3D printer has smoother lines and an increased build volume. The M3 is also user-friendly and makes no more noise than your standard 2D printer. Blueprinter has launched a brand new printer platform called Blueprinter M3. The M3 is building on the existing success - the M-series - and is optimized for the daily use in the office-space. The enhanced features makes the 3D printer fit in the office almost like a regular desktop-printer. The Blueprinter M3 features an improved sleeker surface and display, whilst staying true to the original

M-series design, both on the outside and inside of the printer. The M3 has become more user-friendly and the user experience has been optimized and improved, e.g. new mechanisms for powder shovels have been installed and the M3 features new powder drawers too. The M3 makes sure that every single component works seamlessly, improving the user experience. The noise has also been reduced by 60% and it uses less power. The M3 is now capable of printing more accurate and detailed parts. The M3 has an increased build volume of 200mm x 157mm x 150mm, which means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to create multiple parts in just one printing session.

Blueprinter launched a new ground up designed printer platform the M3 on June 1st 2015. Package price is €25,450.00 so sub £20,000.00 in the UK. M3: Improvements and new features • • • • • • • • • •

• All exposed surfaces painted • Improved service access for maintenance The Blueprinter story began in 2008 when Frederik Tjellesen and Anders Hartmann, two mechanical engineers that previously had been using 3D printed parts in their work, got inspired to develop an easy to use 3D printer affordable even for very small businesses. Very few companies can justify, or even afford, paying €150,000 for printing 3D prototypes. Frederik and Anders set out to make this technology widely accessible to manufacturers, architects, engineers and educational institutions everywhere.

www.concept-laser.de Concept Laser GmbH is an independent company with headquarters in Lichtenfels, Germany. Since its founding in 2000, it has been a leading innovator in the field of laser melting with the patented LaserCUSING® technology across many industries. The term LaserCUSING®, a combination of the C from CONCEPT Laser and the word FUSING, describes the technology, in which the fusing process generates components layer-by-layer using 3D CAD data. The method allows the production of complex component geometries without tools to create parts that are difficult or even impossible to achieve through conventional manufacturing.

LaserCUSING® offers new perspectives in terms of cost and speed for efficient product development in industries such as: • • • • • •

Aerospace Medical and dental technology Automotive and racing Tool and mold construction Jewelry Mechanical engineering

The systems reduce development time and costs substantially while offering much greater flexibility in product development. The high quality standards, level of experience and successful track record of Concept Laser guarantee reliable and cost-effective solutions with proven performance in daily production, with a particular focus on unit cost reductions.

EnvisionTEC works with a strong customer and partner base in diverse sectors such as jewelry, hearing aid, dental, consumer, auto manufacturing and design companies. 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 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. 3SP® technology allows: • Mass-customization of high-accuracy products • High speed printing at 10mm per hour for a full envelope at a 50µm resolution • Increased productivity in replacing lowcost manually manufactured models • Ability to produce highly accurate parts at a more competitive price point due to speed that still achieves high surface quality and material functionality 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.

www.kudo3d.com Kudo3D’s Titan 1 3D printer, with its proprietary passive self-peeling (“PSP”) technology, is the most versatile high-resolution professionalgrade stereolithography printer in the market. PSP is Kudo3D’s patent-pending, bottom-up, SLA technology that minimizes the separation force between the cured layers and the resin container. PSP allows prints to require fewer supports, minimizing cleanup and scarring. It also enables features as fine as a strand of hair and larger objects, up to 10 inches tall, to be printed by the same machine while maintaining staggering resolution and impressive speeds. The Titan 1 grows extremely high resolutions prints, which is ideal for printing jewelry, miniatures, and research models. It also possesses the largest effective build volume of any desktop SLA printers, making the Titan 1 perfect for art, architectural, engineering, and prototyping applications. Kudo3D’s clients include Intel, Motorola, TRW Automotive, Yale, Duke, and Quality Gold. Utilizing industrial and consumer grade components, the Titan 1 is easily maintained due to its modular design. There is no scenario that the entire printer needs to be sent for maintenance—a common issue for laserbased SLA 3D printers.

The Titan 1 is designed to provide users with the widest range of printing possibilities. Users can optimize speed, resolution, and size to fit their needs. The most versatile and affordable professional-grade 3D printer on the market, the Titan 1, costs only $2,999.

“Before using the Titan 1, I used another laserbased SLA desktop printer for rough prototypes. I would also spend $800 a month on high-end 3D prints from several different vendors printing on $35,000 machines. Having the Titan 1 has not only replaced that other SLA desktop printer, but also replaced that additional printing service. That $800 a month now comes to me and I have enough business that I purchased a second Titan 1.” Joshua Qualtieri: Zombiesmith, a Miniatures Manufacturer

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the past couple years we have been using two other desktop DLP SLA 3D printers and before we purchased the Titan 1, print size was limited because of a smaller build envelope. We are replacing our smaller build printers with a second Titan 1 for our projects that require 50 microns XY and sub 50 microns print resolution - all within a larger build envelope. Printing with the Titan 1 has resulted in an overall reduction in our printing costs. With increased print speed, a lower print failure rate, and the need to use fewer supports, we realize a reduction in material use, file setup and post pressing time. Set supports, slice, and press go!â&#x20AC;? Craig Turley: StudoQubed, LLC, a 3D Printing Service Provider
