Eplus3D says its has now delivered over 100 of its large-format metallic additive manufacturing techniques.
The Chinese language 3D printer producer claims every of the so-called ‘super-meter’ machines offered encompasses a construct measurement of not less than one metre in a single axis, with greater than 40 techniques exceeding the one metre mark throughout all X, Y and Z axes.
Eplus3D has made a reputation for itself in pushing the boundaries of metallic additive manufacturing construct volumes and multi-laser know-how. Its EP-M1550 is a 16-laser metallic powder mattress fusion system, which could be upgraded to suit 25 lasers, and encompasses a 1558 x 1558 x 1200 mm construct plate, with the choice of extending the peak to 2000 mm, whereas its EP-M2050, launched throughout final 12 months’s TCT Asia occasion, is a 36-laser platform which could be prolonged to accommodate 49 or 64 lasers, and a construct envelope that may be maxed out to 2050 x 2050 x 2000 mm.
The corporate says its machines have been constructed to fabricate massive and complicated structural parts for industries resembling aerospace and power, along with the mass manufacturing of business functions in automotive, mould making and electronics. Final 12 months, Eplus3D introduced a partnership with dental alloys specialist Scheftner GmbH to assist ‘reshape’ the dental and metallic additive manufacturing industries, whereas again in November, its large-format EP650-1600 know-how was used to fabricate a 1.3 metre-tall rocket engine, believed to be the world’s largest single piece 3D printed rocket thruster, in partnership with computational engineering agency Leap 71. On a a lot smaller scale, its know-how was beforehand utilized in manufacturing of Honor’s Magic V2 foldable telephone, which options 3D printed titanium alloy elements.
