On November 11, 2020, Optomec recently announced a new 3D metal printer based on Directed Energy Deposition (DED), a powder-based free-form 3D metal printing technology developed by Optomec based on the LENS trademark, and will continue Leading the market in more than 200 installations worldwide.
Both platforms are designed around an effective build volume of 250 x 250 x 250 mm and are suitable for the production and maintenance of small parts, including batch processing. The system is available in 3-axis or 5-axis versions, capable of simultaneous 5-axis coordinated movement for complete free-space printing. The system is also equipped with a next-generation print head, which can automatically dynamically change the size and output power of the laser spot, so they can apply material to a larger area of the part faster, but still with lower heat input Create beautiful features. Thinner area. In addition, these printers have an optional inert processing function that is optimized for printing reflective and reactive alloys such as copper, aluminum and titanium, as well as many other common metals including steel and nickel.
The CS250 printer is specially designed for research. It is an all-in-one system with up to four integrated powder feeders for rapid alloy development and the creation of graded material parts. It is small enough to pass through a standard doorway, making it easy to use in many existing research laboratories.
Integrated vision system
The HC-TBR machine is designed for high-performance, high-volume production applications. It has the first function to automatically move titanium parts into and out of the inert atmosphere, which is essential for high-quality metallurgy and plant safety. The automation module can realize continuous operation without manually loading or exiting from the controlled environment work area.
For additive repair applications, such as the repair of production turbine blades, HC-TBR also includes an integrated vision system and proprietary AutoCLAD software, which scans each part individually and uses pattern recognition to create custom tool paths and Additive repair formulas are used to compensate for changes between parts while minimizing the heat input to the assembly. By fine-tuning the tool path of each part, a smaller overbuild can be achieved, which greatly reduces the final machining time after the additive manufacturing process.
The HC-TBR is designed to be easily integrated into an automated work cell, and includes an automatic front door that can be loaded and unloaded by a manipulator.
“HC-TBR is the first machine capable of mass production of active metals such as aluminum and titanium,” said Mike Dean, Optomec’s marketing director. “We have seen a considerable increase in customer demand for these materials, and this trend will continue as manufacturers shift to lightweight designs.”
