3D Printing
Grootste 3D-printer van Europa
Het Nederlandse CEAD heeft de grootste 3D-printer van Europa. Een uniek model dat snel grote dingen kan printen, met twee materialen tegelijk. Met een printoppervlak van 4x2x1.5m is het de grootste printer van Europa, die daadwerkelijk te koop is. Ook de printsnelheid (gemiddeld 15 kg materiaal per uur) is indrukwekkend. Op de feestelijke presentatie was…

Heidelberg richt zich tegenwoordig ook op het beprinten van 3D-objecten. Hiervoor heeft het de zogenoemde Omnifire-technologie in huis. Met deze machine is ‘direct tot shape’-printing mogelijk. Dit betekent, dat alle mogelijke objecten te beprinten zijn. Hierbij wordt UV-inkjettechnologie gecombineerd met robots, en wordt een zogenoemde Plasma voorbehandeling toegepast voor het plakken/bevestigen. Heidelberg zal tijdens InPrint…
