[TEH LAB] VOXELJET VX 200 Industrial 3D sand printer ready to print highly accurate 3D models

U razdoblju od 6. do 9. veljače uspješno je obavljen redoviti servis našeg industrijskog 3D printera za pijesak Voxeljet VX200 čime je ovaj printer, jedini takve vrste u Hrvatskoj, spreman za nastavak rada u svrhu podrške poduzetnicima i jačanja lokalne i regionalne industrije.     

VOXELJET VX 200 printer se temelji na Binder Jetting tehnologiji koja omogućuje izradu kalupa i jezgra od pijeska. Ovaj 3D printer s radnim volumenom od 200x300x150mm pogodan je za prototipiranje, proizvodnju malih serija dijelova te istraživanje i razvoj proizvoda zbog brzog vremena isporuke.

Konkretniji primjeri uporabe uključuju:

  • Razvoj materijala: VX200 idealna je platforma za testiranje i kvalifikaciju novih kombinacija materijala i veziva (engl. „bindera“) za proizvodnju.
  • Proizvodnja testnih komada i materijalnih testova: osim istraživanja i razvoja, VX200 se također koristi za proizvodnju testnih komada i materijalnih testova.
  • Proizvodnja prototipova i malih serija: uz brzi 3D ispis mogu se brzo dobiti dijelovi za dizajn i proizvesti manje serije proizvoda.

Binder Jetting tehnologija se koristi u različitim industrijama, uključujući automobilsku industriju, zrakoplovstvo i sl. Neki od primjera uključuju izradu kalupa za:

  • razvoj novih alata,
  • uzoraka za lijevanje,
  • dijelova automobila i sl.

Nakon servisa, održana je i edukacija u sklopu koje su naša dva djelatnika uz vodstvo predstavnika Voxeljet-a, Benjamina Njeni Simoa, certificirana za sigurno upravljanje i održavanje stroja.
