FRIEDBERG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--voxeljet AG (NYSE: VJET), a leading provider of high-speed, large-format
3D printers and on-demand parts services to industrial and commercial
customers, today announced the launch of the latest in its full line of
large format industrial 3D printers, the VX2000.
The new printer is being demonstrated for the first time at Euromold,
the leading worldwide trade fair for Moldmaking and Tooling, Design and
Application Development, taking place in Frankfurt, Germany, December
03-06, 2013.
The VX2000 is equipped with a build space of two cubic meters, making it
one of the largest commercially available 3D printing platforms in the
market, and the largest ever to be introduced at Euromold. The large
build format of the VX2000 is suited to a variety of applications in the
automotive or aviation industry, at foundries, pump manufacturers or the
equipment building industry.
"The VX2000 closes the big gap between the VX1000 with a design space of
0.3 cubic meters and the VX4000 with a design space of eight cubic
meters. We now offer a balanced product range that enables us to provide
our customers with an industrial 3D printer for any conceivable
application area," said Dr. Ingo Ederer, voxeljet’s Chief Executive
Officer.
The new industrial printer is designed for use with all particle
materials currently available at voxeljet, and combines superior
performance with a very large build space, providing users with maximum
flexibility. voxeljet’s customers are now able to use the build space
measuring 2060 x 1060 x 1000 mm for the economic manufacture of large
individual molds or small series manufacture, depending on their
requirements.
voxeljet technology offers significant advantages in the manufacture of
complex cores and parts that, due to their complicated geometry, are
difficult to produce using traditional core manufacturing methods. For
example, the VX2000 can print an impressive number of 216 water jacket
cores measuring 490 x 210 x 80 mm in a job box in approximately two days
of standard operations. An additional example would be the manufacture
of complex mechanical parts for the pump industry. The VX2000 build
space can easily encompass the large-format molds for four Francis
impellers with the dimensions 980 x 980 x 490 mm.
The VX2000 achieves its high level of performance through the jetting of
material through a high performance ink-jet head containing up to 13,280
nozzles, at resolutions of up to 600 dpi depending upon the application.
The layer thickness during one print run ranges from 100 to 400
micrometers, with a print width of 564 millimeters. The printed build
volume is 45 liters per hour. This means that the VX2000 is twice as
fast as the well-known VX1000 high-performance printer, and offers an
impressive degree of accuracy.
The VX2000 system dimensions are 4.9 meters long and 2.6 meters wide and
it comes with an integrated material supply system. Similar to all other
voxeljet machines, the VX2000 is designed for rugged industrial use in
which high quality performance is required around the clock. The
platform is destined to become the product of choice for environments
where efficient and sustainable operations are just as important as
above-average reliability and the lifetime of the machine.
