BUYERS’ GUIDE 2018

AM AND 3D PRINTING MACHINES



WELCOME... ...to the TCT AM and 3D Printing Machine Buyers’ Guide for 2018. I’m writing this hot on the heels of the largest TCT Show we’ve ever put on, there were hundreds of machines on display for the thousands of visitors, and the overall feeling was one of momentum. While most exhibitors talked about the quality of conversations, this level of expertise can be quite intimidating for some. On day three of TCT Show, a gentleman approached me in the organiser’s office and said: “I’ve walked around the show, and I want to buy a 3D printer, but I don’t know where to start.” Considering that the cheapest printer on the show floor costs less than an XBox and the most expensive is considerably more than the average UK house, it’s easy to see how one could become bewildered. The 3D technologies industry is moving at the pace of a Bullet Train, and those in the driving seat need to ensure they make all the stops allowing everyone to get on board. This guide should act like a train timetable; you know where you want to be, now you need to know how to get there. The enclosed information, like material choices, build speeds and dimensions, is just the start of your journey. TCT is all about accelerating 3D technologies, and the buyers’ guide will ensure you’re not left on the platform waiting for the replacement bus service. Druck on DANIEL O’CONNOR, GROUP EDITOR

EnvisionTEC is a leading global provider of professional-grade 3D printing solutions. Founded in 2002 with a simple goal: to make a better 3D printer, EnvisionTEC is now celebrating 15 years of realizing that goal. 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 variety of medical, professional and industrial markets, and are valued for precision, surface quality, functionality and speed. EnvisionTEC’s intellectual property includes more than

24

100 pending and granted patents and 70 proprietary materials. Today, EnvisionTEC is a leading provider of 3D printers and materials. Every day, more manufacturers discover why EnvisionTEC 3D printers and materials are better as the company continues expanding into largerformat 3D printers, including robotic sandcasting 3D printers for foundries. Digital Light Processing (DLP): The Perfactory® system builds 3D objects using a

high-quality DLP projector. A vat of liquid photopolymer or resin is cured by this digital light source using voxel data with dimensions as small as 10µm x 10µm x 15µm in the X, Y, and Z directions. Newly added in 2017, the Perfactory family of 3D printers is now available with an LED light source, resulting in substantial operating cost savings and sharper details due to the improved range of brightness from the LEDs. Scan, Spin & Selectively Photocure (3SP): A laser uses a rapidly spinning mirror to selectively cure liquid resin into parts. This industrial solution is ideal for large parts and mass customization with accuracy and an unparalleled smooth surface finish that minimizes post-processing.


Continuous Digital Light Manufacturing (cDLM): An improvement to the DLP process that relies on continuous motion of the build plate to provide exceptionally fast builds, cDLM is quickly being adopted in the jewelry and dental fields.

Selective Lamination Composite Object Manufacturing (SLCOM): The SLCOM 1 processes a wide range of woven fibers pre-impregnanted with thermoplastics using an ultrasonic cutting blade to create large composite parts.

Bioprinting: Processing of biomaterial using air or mechanical pressure to a syringe, which can fabricate scaffolds using a wide variety of materials. The 3D-Bioplotter®, now in it’s fourth generation and available in three models, has been at the heart of research and development all over the globe.

Robotic Additive Manufacturing (RAM): Through an exclusive strategic partnership with Viridis3D, EnvisionTEC is leading the way with robotic 3D printing, initially using binder jetting technology for sand casting in the foundry industry. The RAM series now includes four models with a build capacity up to 5 square meters.

GF MACHINING SOLUTIONS: YOUR COMPLETE SOLUTIONS PROVIDER TARGETING INTEGRATION GF Machining Solutions is the world’s leading provider of machine tools and technical solutions to the tool and mold making industry as well as manufacturers of precision components.

32

We offer a complete range of dedicated solutions for electrical discharge machining (EDM) Laser texturing and Additive Manufacturing, firstclass Milling and Spindles as well as innovative Tooling, Automation and software systems. GF Machining Solutions’ goal is to fully integrate the powder bed process into the processes involved in mold and die manufacturing as well as the production of individual and series components for industrial applications. Indeed, AM will always function in combination with conventional technologies and other postprocesses. Our company is significantly motivated by the desire to close the gap for all application segments. The necessary approach seems simple at first glance; however, in industrial practice, it results in a huge potential increase in productivity for the entire process chain.


Only the AgieCharmilles AM S 290 Tooling (based on EOS technology) is equipped with a fully integrated System 3R reference system at the factory. Integrating the reference system is merely the first step toward seamlessly integrating AM into the industrial production process.

Advantages of AM are now well understood and its industrialization is a major step toward the future. But the great majority of companies still need technical support and training to fully understand how they can integrate AM in their manufacturing processes and establish the best machining strategy.

GF Machining Solutions continues to develop other new products (e.g., 3R MiniPal and 3R MasterPal) that strongly support easier integration of AM technology, especially in terms of zero point, positioning and clamping during post-processing.

Today, GF Machining Solutions meets customers’ needs with both an AM solution and support. Our great strengths are our unique multi-technology portfolio and our expertise in industrialized processes.

MULTI LASER MELTING TECHNOLOGY 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.

48

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 play an essential role in the creation of competitive conditions - and allow each company to make the most of the opportunities of new markets worldwide. This vision will be greatly boosted by the expanding capabilities of 3D printing

Thermwood Corporation, located in Southern Indiana and established in 1969, offers both three & five axis CNC machining centers ideally suited for the production, fabrication & trimming of wood, plastics, non-ferrous metals, composites and other advanced materials. These applications range from machining patterns and molds/plugs to trimming & machining production products for various industries such as woodworking, automotive, aerospace/aviation and defense industries.

54

Thermwood has also developed a new product for the Additive Manufacturing industry. Our new Large Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM) system which can perform both the “additive” and “subtractive” functions on the same machine. This approach, called “near net shape”, uses a high volume thermoplastic printer to quickly create a part that is nearly, but not exactly, the final net shape. A “subtractive” function then machines the part to the exact final net shape. Thermwood’s LSAM will perform both the “Additive” and “Subtractive”

functions on the same machine. The LSAM’s Melt Shape Technology promises enhanced control of layer shape and improved bonding between layers. This new patent pending approach uses one or more shaping wheels to shape, form and compress the hot plastic melt as it is being extruded, insuring that each new layer is the proper shape and thickness and that it bonds firmly to previously applied material. Melt shaping offers a new and promising technique in the advancement of large scale additive manufacturing. Thermwood’s LSAM and CNC machining centers are engineered using the most advanced CAD/CAM and structural analysis software. All weldments are fully stress relieved and the final machine is calibrated using three-dimensional volumetric compensation. We operate a well-equipped and staffed demonstration facility where we demonstrate the specific system we recommend to each customer, actually producing the customers’ parts while they


watch. This increases confidence and eliminates technical risk. Thermwood is a US based company with dealers and distributors worldwide. In addition to machine manufacturing and software development, Thermwood
