However, they overcome the difficulty by creating a removable build chamber, allowing you to continue printing using a second build chamber while the first one cools down. While I’m pretty sure voxeljet will sell their own line of plastics, it should be possible to use virtually any thermoplastic powder in this system, opening up the possibility that HSS could produce very unusual parts.Thus it seems that HSS will be an option for inclusion on voxeljet’s line of large-format 3D printers.

A new layer of powder is then added. Moreover, the unbound PMMA powder can be reused and recycled for forthcoming printing jobs, which ensures efficient material usage.”The PPC² process will be officially presented at the ICI 2017 in Covington, KY from 15th to the 18th October. … But the new HSS technology from voxeljet actually doesn’t involve metal – or casting, for that matter. The provider of large format 3D printers and on-demand parts services has, until …
A toolhead selectively jets liquid binder on to the powder surface.Now the interesting part happens: the binder is designed to be highly sensitive to infrared light. At top you can see some sample parts produced using HSS.Another interesting aspect is that the powder-based nature of HSS should permit use of any suitable powdered plastic. Now that same binder jetting technology can be used to create functional plastic parts.Here’s how it works: a flat layer of plastic powder is applied in the usual manner.

If so, it would then be possible to 3D print enormous plastic parts at efficient costs. The new technology is based on a new process unit, voxeljet notes: “It is a combination of multiple printing and recoating units…” It’s specifically targeting automotive serial production. The amount of heat collected by a build chamber during printing could take some time to cool down, limiting the throughput of HSS.This is also a challenge for HP, who use a somewhat similar process. This is due to a finer PMMA particulate quality (37 μm/0,037 mm) in the PPC² system and a new minimum layer thickness of 100 μm.Tobias Gruen (Product Manager, voxeljet) adds that “by using our new and improved binder, we expect our industrial print heads to have an increased lifetime at a high and consistent printing quality level. German 3D printing company, voxeljet will debut the VX200, its first 3D printing system based on the High Speed Sintering process, at this year’s formnext powered by TCT. 131shares95360Industrial 3D printer manufacturer voxeljet (FRA:VX8A), headquartered in Germany, has announced the release of a new plastic 3D printing process for its VX200 system. In November at formnext 2017, voxeljet will be formally introducing a new 3D printing system that utilizes their new High Speed Sintering (HSS) technology. This 3D printing process consists of depositing small drops of binder in liquid form on the powdered material. Their “core technology” used to create large casting molds involves jetting binder on a powder surface, which hardens to form the mold. This is quite an interesting development because of the incredible size of the voxeljet 3D printers.Their vx4000, for example, has a build volume of 4 x 2 x 1m (yes, meters), while the first system to use HSS, the VX200, has a build volume of 300 x 200 x 150 mm.I’m wondering if this process will be applied to their larger systems, beyond the VX200. This graphic illustrates the process:This is a very interesting approach, as it should be able to produce very strong plastic parts more efficiently than laser-based systems that must traverse every voxel of every layer. Dr. Ingo Ederer, Chief Executive Officer of voxeljet, commented: “Our new PPC 2 process will be initially offered on our VX200 system. It’s all about plastic.voxeljet has adapted their existing technology to create HSS. Since the 3D printing process doesn’t require any tools, small batches can be produced with a dramatic cost-benefit. The commercial debut will be with “a premium German car manufacturer” to 3D print complex water jacket cores in metal casting. The steps are repeated, and layer by layer the part is printed in 3D. Industrial 3D printer manufacturer voxeljet (FRA:VX8A), headquartered in Germany, has announced the release of a new plastic 3D printing process for By using voxeljet binder jetting technology, parts 3D printed using PPC² require no additional support structure and can be efficiently packed in manifold within the build chamber.Dr. It is an affordable entry into 3D printing for investment casting foundries with an efficient part production for commercial castings such as turbine impellers and turbine blades.”Starting in voxeljet’s compact VX200 system, PPC² will be working in a build volume of PPC² uses Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) material which is economically better than polycarbonate (PC) in terms of tensile and flexural strength, transparency, polishability, and UV tolerance.There is a noticeable improvement in the surface quality of samples made using PPB and PPC².
