voxeljet AG continues to expand its product line in the service sector.
The Augsburg-based company is opening a new chapter in sand moulds in
Europe's largest service centre for on-demand production of
metal-casting moulds and models. "Thanks to investments in machinery in
our new Friedberg plant near Augsburg, we can begin generating sand
moulds in XXL format, specifically moulds with a volume of up to eight
cubic metres," says voxeljet Managing Director Dr. Ingo Ederer. "Our
ability to produce moulds with dimensions of 4 x 2 x 1 metres is unique
worldwide."
The voxeljet process means that users benefit from significant savings
in time and money. The moulds are generated automatically and without
tools in a layering process, based on 3D CAD data. The laborious and
costly route to the otherwise necessary mould set-up is dispensed with.
However, the expanded equipment in the voxeljet service centre also
earns high marks in terms of speed and flexibility. The machine operates
at three times the build speed of smaller 3D printers, but with the same
resolution and precision. In addition, the enormous build space allows
for the production of extremely large individual moulds, although it can
also be used flexibly to produce diverse moulds simultaneously as
needed. "Small batches can be generated particularly easily and
economically in the enormous build space," says Ederer.
Thanks to the mastery of layering processes at the fastest speeds
anywhere, it takes only a few working days to complete a project, from
order placement to delivery of the finished moulds. We can produce even
complex geometries with undercuts on our in-house machines. All moulds
feature maximum detail accuracy and precision.
