Austrian engineering agency and OEM Incus GmbH has introduced the launch of its latest Lithography-based Steel Manufacturing (LMM) 3D printer, the Hammer Pro40.
Designed to satisfy calls for in mass manufacturing, the Hammer Pro40 affords upgraded manufacturing capabilities and will be deployed immediately onto the manufacturing unit ground. Constructing on the Hammer Lab35, Incus’ latest 3D printer is marketed as providing a considerable construct quantity, excessive potential throughput, and “wonderful decision.” As such, the Hammer Pro40 can reportedly 3D print advanced geometries with high-quality floor end.
The brand new Incus Hammer Pro40 can be introduced for the primary time at Formnext 2023 in Frankfurt, between November 7-10.
“The Hammer Pro40 was strategically developed to meet the rising demand for mass manufacturing with AM whereas nonetheless delivering the distinctive options of our expertise,” commented Incus CEO, Dr Gerald Mitteramskogler. “This innovation means a leap ahead when it comes to pace, precision, and cost-effectiveness, however it additionally opens up new alternatives to leverage the flexibility of our manufacturing resolution.”
“Inside a single print, you may create intricate medical gripping gadgets, patient-specific dental brackets, customized jewellery items, prototypes for digital gadgets, and customised automotive knobs for luxurious inside designs – all in portions starting from single prototypes to mass manufacturing,” added Dr Mitteramskogler.
Key options of the Hammer Pro40
Based on Incus, the Hammer Pro40 has been designed to fabricate intricate, specialty elements in massive batches. This new LMM 3D printer is optimized for a variety of purposes, together with dental, medical, automotive, micro robotics, and jewellery.
To satisfy calls for in mass manufacturing, the Hammer Pro40 boasts a 2x 200 x 76.8 x 150 mm construct quantity, which is six occasions bigger than that of the Lab35. This substantial construct quantity is facilitated by two shifting projectors, somewhat than the singular stationary projector present in most LMM programs.
Based on Incus, this new 3D printer has been designed to mix “unmatched price effectivity” with high-quality 3D printing. Certainly, with a 3D print pace of as much as 240 layers/h and as much as 700 cm3/h, the Hammer Pro40 is seven occasions quicker than the Lab35. The Hammer Pro40 additionally reportedly has a price per cm3 that’s 4 occasions decrease than its predecessor.
Incus’ latest 3D printer can be stated to supply a pixel pitch of 40µm in X/Y, permitting for the manufacturing of high-quality end-use elements. With a floor roughness (Ra) of 2µm after sintering, the Hammer Pro40 reportedly removes the necessity for added floor therapies corresponding to sprucing or sandblasting.
Automation can be stated to be a key asset of the Hammer Pro40, with the 3D printer designed to function a number of 3D prints with out human enter, together with a feedstock provide that lasts as much as 3 days. Job preparation, setup, and materials changeover are additionally stated to be streamlined, and take lower than 5 minutes. The dealing with of the inexperienced elements may also be simply automated, as a consequence of their excessive inexperienced half power.
Technical specs and pricing
Incus has not but launched pricing or buy data for the Hammer Pro40. Extra data can be obtainable throughout Formnext 2023. The Hammer Pro40 can be situated in corridor 11.1, sales space D42 throughout the Frankfurt-based present.
