Reichenbacher Hamuel and Multec launch new industrial FDM 3D printer

Reichenbacher Hamuel and Multec joined forces to develop the M1000, an industrial 3D printer to fulfill the demand for big high-performance thermoplastic elements.

Reichenbacher Hamuel has made its title for itself as a producer of CNC milling machines whereas Multec is a producer of 3D printers powered by FDM.

What units the M1000 aside is its capability to print high-performance plastics like ULTEM and PEEK. These supplies have mechanical properties together with excessive influence power and good chemical resistance. This can primarily assist industries that want elements with high-temperature resistance and good mechanical properties, corresponding to wheel housings and air ducts.

The important thing to the success of the M1000 may be discovered within the mixture of Multec’s patented HexaMove 6-fold printing head with a CNC machine from Reichenbacher. This was the one approach to understand such excessive precision, flexibility, and effectivity in 3D printing – in line with the corporate.

The HexaMove printing head is supplied with an robotically working filament change by way of {a magazine} permitting seamless changeover between totally different supplies and nozzle varieties with out interrupting the printing course of. On this improvement, time-consuming cleansing cycles are circumvented, and productiveness is boosted whereas decreasing downtimes.

Superior programs for heating and cooling are additionally included into the design of the M1000. Whereas the constructing chamber can attain temperatures of as much as 350°C to make sure the optimum bonding of the primary layer and stress-free printed supplies a temperature vary of 250°C may be provided to the constructing platform.

The cooling system overheads the temperature operations for the printing head, axes, and digital elements to assist guarantee steady machine use at excessive temperatures with out degrading its efficiency and reliability.

Inside a 1,000×1,000×1,000 mm constructing area, the M1000 can create large-sized elements in a single print, saving an enormous quantity of post-production meeting. This makes it particularly fascinating for industries needing giant single-piece elements, corresponding to orthopedics, aeronautics, and rail car manufacturing.

Due to the high-speed printing head with 6 hotends, quantity flows three to 5 instances greater than conventional programs are realized, permitting quick manufacturing of huge elements.

As a result of excessive diploma of automation, the M1000 offers flexibility in manufacturing, a brief lead time, and low funding prices. As this machine can work 24/7, it’s optimized to fulfill prototyping wants and a small collection of huge components. Different vital components are its vitality effectivity and, subsequently, low prices for its acquisition and, as a consequence, operations.

The brand new 3D printer goals to allow purposes throughout the aerospace, medical engineering, railroad, and army manufacturing industries.
