The industrial additive manufacture of functional parts is highly demanding: It involves a wide range of original materials, material and color combinations, as well as high part quality and strength. Individual settings options are required during the manufacturing process.
That's why we developed the APF (ARBURG Plastic Freeforming) process and the freeformer specifically as an open system. Tiny plastic droplets provide the basis for flexible adjustment options. The droplet size and process control can be influenced in a targeted manner. This gives you the freedom to individually optimize the properties of your additively manufactured parts and to process your own materials.
Highlights
- Custom-built: Different sizes with two or three discharge units
- Unique: Using qualified standard granulates to produce fully functional parts – as a complex, resilient hard/soft combination
- High-quality: pulsed nozzle closure with piezo technology ensures high quality parts
- Extensive: growing material database with process settings for various amorphous and semi-crystalline thermoplastics
- Open: free programming of process – from geometrical slicing to the discharge and positioning of the droplets
- Adaptable: modified original materials can be used quickly and easily, for example for the aerospace industry or in medical technologThe industrial additive manufacture of functional parts is highly demanding: It involves a wide range of original materials, material and color combinations, as well as high part quality and strength.
