3D printing very close to the series part
Perfect sustainable parts in record time
The printing procedure typically requires less than 12 hours because of the printer‘s impressive sintering speed of 20 mm per hour. The subsequent automated finishing process is completed in just 15 minutes. The chamber is a closed, sustainable cycle. The powder used during printing but not incorporated into the product is reused. This is because not only fresh powder but also loose or previously used powder can be utilised. The mixing ratio is 70:30 – 70% used powder and 30% fresh powder.
Unlimited individuality
The components manufactured through 3D printing are just as superior as those produced by injection moulding. The components exhibit approximately 90% of their properties, as the PA12 (polyamide 12) utilised in 3D printing demonstrates resilience and dimensional stability equivalent to the PA6 (polyamide 6) employed in injection moulding. The surfaces are homogeneous and have no residue from support geometries.
All tasks, including printing and polishing, are fully automated. Because the 3D printer has two construction chambers, continuous production is possible without downtime. As a result, EMKA can now not only rapidly produce its own prototypes or spare parts but also fulfil urgent customer orders without delay.
