New Industrial 3D Printing System



Additive Industries has introduced MetalFAB1, its new industrial additive manufacturing system, on the first day of RAPID 2015, a U.S. trade fair and conference on additive manufacturing and 3D printing. "Our system will bring a substantial improvement in reproducibility, productivity and flexibility as a result of our quest to design an industrial grade metal printing process," said Daan Kersten, CEO of Additive Industries.

According to the company, the high reproducibility of MetalFAB1 takes its inspiration from the semiconductor industry. Multiple process steps are incorporated in one machine for the first time. Fully automated handling is designed to connect all process steps, reduce manual labor and improve product consistency and quality, while also increasing operator safety. "The modular architecture offers maximum flexibility, allowing the user to start with a basic machine configuration with the possibility to enlarge the scope of the process, enabling substantially increased productivity. Modules can be added to allow the use of multiple materials in one machine without having to clean the powder system and running the risk of cross-contamination," said a company spokesperson.
