气吸收and Aconity3D collaborate to accelerate Laser Powder Bed Fusion additive manufacturing

气吸收, an SLS 3D printer manufacturer based in Belgium, andaconity3d, a German metal 3D printer manufacturer, have partnered to further development of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) technology.

The partners are ultimately aiming to implement Aerosint’s re-coating technology into the AconityONE LPBF 3D printer. This collaboration will also research multi-material 3D printing using LPBF. Edouard Moens de Hase, co-founder and managing director of Aerosint, said:

“We are truly excited to partner with an OEM that has the same DNA as we have at Aerosint. Aconity is innovative and driven to solve challenges that haven’t been addressed yet. Together we have all the technical expertise needed to develop very unique LPBF hardware and multi-metal applications.”

根据Moens de Hase,Aerosint始于2015年初作为比利时创业工作室Make.it的一部分的研究努力。该公司的建立是为了重塑基于粉末融合的添加剂制造的技术方法,开辟了越来越激烈的市场。雷电竞充值

Last year, Aerosint was announced as one of eight challenge winners in the2018 FormNext启动挑战。Prior to this, the company closed an85万欧元的融资round进一步发展其选择性粉末沉积技术。此过程使连续的粉末层由多个粉末组成,即聚合物,陶瓷,金属。

“ Aerosint发明的内容非常独特。具有多物质功能的LPBF系统在行业中看不见。” Aconity3D首席执行官Yves Hagedorn补充说。

“我们的客户一直在等待这些中性ities and we are therefore excited to start working on a potential solution for them. Multi-material is for us the next evolution of 3D printing and we are happy we can be pioneers here together with Aerosint.”

Aersosint认为,其技术可以为3D打印的巨大机会,用于刚性假肢,并具有局部灵活的缓冲,以提供更高的患者舒适性,并创建诸如玩具之类的彩色型号。

Furthermore, last year, Aconity3D expanded into the US with a new North American headquarters in El Paso with theUniversity of Texas at El Paso (UTEP)。在此扩展之后,Hagedorntold 3D Printing Industry, that the company targets the market of metal 3D printers.

“事实证明,系统的高灵活性是扩大这项新技术中最新技术的主要推动力。因此,我们目前主要在研究系统领域(无论是针对大学还是大型公司)。”

“However, the high modularity of the systems allows for providing customer-specific or better industry-specific solutions for series applications such as medical, aerospace, energy or automotive.”

Moreover, both partners applications will seek to develop new applications for LPBF technology. If successful, the Aerosint’s 3D printer will be made available to Aconity’s customers on the machines options list.
