Let you know about industrial 3D printers

Industrial 3D printer is a manufacturing equipment with important application value in the field of industrial production.

The working principle of industrial 3D printers is to construct objects by printing layer by layer based on digital model files, using bondable materials such as powdered metal or plastic. It has many significant advantages. First of all, it can realize the manufacturing of complex geometric shapes, breaking through the shape restrictions of traditional manufacturing processes, making design more free and innovative.

In terms of applications, industrial 3D printers are widely used in the aerospace field to manufacture lightweight, high-strength parts; in automobile manufacturing, they can quickly produce molds, prototypes and personalized automobile parts; in the medical field, they are used for customization Prosthetics, dental braces, bone substitutes, etc.; in addition, it is also widely used in electronics, construction, consumer goods and other industries.

However, industrial 3D printers also face some challenges, such as high equipment cost, material types and performance that need to be further expanded and optimized, relatively slow printing speed, and stability of printing accuracy and quality.

The working principle of industrial 3D printers is to carry out structural modeling of the target product through AI intelligent algorithms, use differential form to slice the data model into several layers, and then use the integration process to print layer by layer, and finally accumulate it into the corresponding physical model. This process sounds relatively simple, but in actual operation the requirements for technology and details are still extremely high.

Let’s start with the pre-processing software. Most industrial-grade 3D printers on the market use outsourced software, while some more experienced companies choose to develop their own software, such as Unionfab ONE’s original automation software. It can realize automated intelligent printing process through multiple procedures such as file import, pre-processing, slicing optimization, and on-machine printing, successfully iterating the tedious and complicated preliminary preparation work of traditional processes, freeing both hands.

After the pre-processing step comes the internal printing process. Since the molding technologies used by various types of equipment are different, it can be broken down into the following categories:

Light-curing 3D printing technology: including SLA, DLP, and LCD;

FDM fused deposition modeling technology;

SLS selective laser sintering technology;

SLM selective laser melting technology;

3DP three-dimensional printing technology, etc.

After 3D printing is completed, the final post-processing process is carried out through steps such as shoveling, cleaning, and curing to obtain the original target product. The overall operation is very convenient and efficient. The perfect integration of smart technology and manufacturing promotes the digital economy. A peak.

High degree of design freedom

The ability to manufacture products with complex geometric shapes and internal structures breaks through the shape and structure limitations of traditional manufacturing processes, allowing designers to be more creative and realize innovative design concepts.

Customized production

We can quickly and flexibly customize and produce personalized products according to the specific needs of customers. Whether it is a single product or small batch production, we can meet the unique requirements of different customers and better adapt to the diverse needs of the market.

Shorten product development cycle

Without the need for traditional processes such as mold development and manufacturing, digital models can be quickly converted into physical products, which greatly speeds up product research and development, helps companies bring new products to the market faster, and improves market competitiveness.

High material utilization rate

Materials are accurately deposited only in the required areas, reducing the waste of raw materials. Compared with traditional subtractive manufacturing processes, the material usage efficiency is significantly improved and production costs are reduced.

Integrated manufacturing

It can realize integrated molding of complex structures, reduce the number of parts and assembly links, improve the integrity and stability of the product, and reduce product quality problems caused by assembly errors.

Complex structure manufacturing capabilities

It is possible to create products with internal cavities, complex channels and thin-walled structures that are often difficult or costly to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods.

Optimize product performance

Product performance can be improved by optimizing the product's internal structure and material distribution, such as reducing product weight, improving strength and durability, etc.
