Additive Manufacturing Equipment
With equipment capabilities in metal laser powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing (PB-FAM), fused deposition modeling, and pellet and DirectWrite printing, ARI can deposit a broad range of metal alloys, plastics, plastic/polymer composites, gels, and pastes. Utilizing our high-speed thermographic system and integrated high-resolution cameras, we can also measure temperature profiles and capture spatter events in real-time, enabling us to develop digital twins of the laser PB-FAM process.
The Mlab can process a variety of powdered materials, ranging from stainless steel 316 and Co-Cr (CoCrW) to reactive powders as aluminum (AlSi10Mg) and titanium (Ti6Al4V). The system is configured for process parameter changes during build processing and is equipped with a high-speed thermographic system for in-situ build status monitoring. The Mlab has a 100W fiber laser and a build volume of 90 × 90 × 80 mm.
Tumaker NX Pro Pellet 3D-printer
The Tumaker NX Pro Pellet 3D-printer can directly print thermoplastics from pellet form. A wide range of materials can be printed such as ABS, PLA, PCL, and PEKK. The maximum printing temperature is 350 °C. The machine is equipped with two pellet printer heads with different nozzle diameters, including 04, 0.6, and 0.8 mm. The maximum printing volume is (290x180x200) mm.
The ImageIR 8380hp is a high-end infrared camera with a temperature measuring range from -10 to 3000 °C at an accuracy of 1%. The camera has a 640 × 512 IR pixels cooled InSb detector with a 15µm pitch. The maximum frame rate is 5000 Hz and the spectral range is 1.5 – 5.7 µm. The camera is equipped with a 10 GigE interface for reliable high-speed data transmission without the need for buffering.
