Atum 3D says it designed the DLP (digital light processing) Station 5-365 EXZ for fast, local 3D printing of single pieces and series of customized parts. It combines the company’s proprietary printing technology, an open-resin platform with a larger build envelope than previous generations of the printer, and a versatile, powerful light source.
These features create opportunities for an entirely new range of applications, claims the company, like printing shoes and orthotic insoles (example shown) in a range of sizes.
With a build envelope that is twice as high as earlier models, the 365 EXZ (EXtended Z-axis) prints parts with dimensions up to 190 by 107 by 450 mm. The all-new Z-axis allows the build platform to accelerate four times faster and move vertically twice as fast as before. Maximum build speed is 150 mm/hr.
Other features include a maintenance door that covers the entire front of the printer, a slide-out mechanism for the safety tray, a large touch-screen control, and a self-leveling build platform.
The Additive Report focuses on the use of additive manufacturing technology in the real world of manufacturing. Today’s manufacturers are using 3D printing technology to create tools and fixtures, and some are even using AM for high-volume production work. Their stories will be covered here.
