Production System™
Production System™ provides an industry-first solution for additive manufacturing that competes with traditional manufacturing processes for speed, cost, and capability.
Overview
The Production System provides an industry-first solution for additive manufacturing that competes with traditional manufacturing processes for speed, cost, and capability.
Full End-to-end Manufacturing Solution
- Mass Production
- 100x Faster
- 20x lower cost-per-part
Mass production
Created by the inventors of binder jetting and single-pass inkjet technologies, the Production System™ delivers the speed, quality and cost-per-part needed to compete with traditional manufacturing methods.
100x Faster
Breakthrough Single Pass Jetting™ technology delivers speeds up to 12,000 cc/hr at 50 μm or 28,700 cc/hr at 125 μm—more than 100x faster than quad-laser metal printers and over 4x faster than the closest binder jetting alternative.
20x lower cost-per-part
Low-cost MIM powder, high throughput, and simple post-processing deliver per-part costs that are competitive with traditional manufacturing processes—and up to 20x lower than today’s metal 3D printing systems.
Specification
Technology
Powered by Single Pass Jetting™ (SPJ™) is based on a new approach to metal 3D printing.
The Production System ™ features bi-directional printing where all steps of the print process—powder deposition, spreading, compacting, ballistic suppression, and binder jet printing—are applied with each pass over the build area. Whenever there is movement, there is printing—making it the fastest way to print complex metal parts.
The process
“The fastest way to print complex metal parts.”
1. Perp
Secure, web-based software constructs build plans from your STL or CAD files to automatically generate support and control parameters based on part geometry and material
2. Print
State-of-the-art print bar containing 16,384 nozzles works in conjunction with powder spreaders to disperse metal powder and print in a single pass across the build area, jetting up to 1.5 billion drops per second.
3. Depowder
Parts are removed from the build box and cleared of any loose powder that remains in channels and crevices in preparation for sintering.
4. Sinter
Heated to temperatures near melting, the remaining binder is removed causing the metal particles to fuse together and the parts to densify.
