With its innovative 3D printing technology for easy and fast
manufacturing of high-quality plastic components, voxeljet AG has made a
name for itself among small batch and prototype manufacturers throughout
Europe. The high-tech company now has a world premiere to celebrate. For
the first time, the Augsburg-based voxeljet has sold a 3D printing
system in the United States.
"This premiere," says voxeljet CEO Dr. Ingo Ederer, "is of great
strategic importance for our company. Once our revolutionary 3D
technology enters new markets, it is only a matter of time before its
significant advantages attract other users." The overall system
delivered to the United States consist of the VX800 3D
high-performance printer, a VRS800 powder preparation system, a VUP800
unpacking station and a VCL1400 finishing cabin.
The buyer is voxeljet's U.S. distributor, ProMetal, which manufactures
components for Express Pattern on the complete sytem. According to
Express Pattern, the innovative manufacturing method, in which a 3D
printer automatically generates plastic parts without tools on the basis
of CAD data, offers significant competitive advantages, which is why
they have made ProMetal their exclusive supplier.
The VX800 earns high marks through its high-performance printing
technology as well as the outstanding surface quality of the parts and
an impressive building speed. The build space, which is generously
dimensioned at 190 litres, also enables larger parts to be produced.
Unique to the system is its use of industrial plastics as the base
material. Thanks to these advantages, the VX800 will become the top
choice for fast and economical prototype and small batch production in
the United States as well.
