DyeMansion, a manufacturer of cleaning and surface finishing systems for the 3D printing industry, has announced two new process innovations for its Powerfuse S system atRAPID + TCT 2021.
In addition to the new developments, which include compliance with the食品及药物管理局的food contact regulations and three ready-to-use parameter sets for various smoothing strengths, the company also announced the further expansion of its business in North America and provided an update on its ongoing alliance with 3D printer manufacturerStratasys.
“We are currently seeing strong market growth in North America and are very pleased that we can now serve our American customers even better with our fully operational US office,” said Felix Ewald, Co-founder and CEO of DyeMansion. “With 11 people in our US team, our increasing number of sales and production partners and our new partnership with Stratasys we are well on our way to creating a colorful future.
“We are also very pleased to have Stratasys Direct Manufacturing as a workflow customer now and look forward to handling demanding high-volume projects together.”
Powerfuse S updates
DyeMansion’sPowerfuse Svapor polishing system delivers sealed, eco-friendly surfaces to parts that are suitable for a wide range of applications. The system’s hardware utilizes DyeMansion’s VaporFuse Surfacing technology and eco-friendly Vaporfuse Eco Fluid solvent to enable a sustainable contact-free process without chemical waste.
In September last year, thePowerFuse S was awarded fundingfrom the欧洲创新委员会(EIC) “Green Deal” program to expand the capabilities of the technology and widen the process’ material compatibility.
Now, at RAPID + TCT 2021, DyeMansion has announced the VaporFuse Surfacing process is now compliant with the FDA’s food contact regulations, with its Eco Fluid solvent suitable for contact with all food types for which the base polymer is technically suited and authorized. The company showcased examples of such food contact applications at its booth at the show, one of which was a PA2201 part fromKuhn-Stoff GmbH＆Co用于生产饼干。
除了PowerFuse S'新的食物联系合书状态外，系统还升级了三个即用的参数集，用于不同级别的平滑强度。新参数，称为“平滑级别”，下降，下降，均衡，平衡，强，可单独调整，以便对不同应用的要求进行调整。
According to DyeMansion, this makes the Powerfuse S the “most customizable and reliable vapor polishing system on the market”. The Levels of Smoothing are available to DyeMansion’s customers for materials including EOS PA 2200, EOS TPU 1301, HP 3D HR PA 11/12, and HP BASF Ultrasint TPU 01, with more to follow.
Vaporfuse surfacing of polypropylene parts
Alongside the new Vaporfuse S developments, DyeMansion has also announced the development of a bio-based and biodegradable solvent capable of vapor polishing polypropylene (PP) 3D printed parts.
The solvent is currently being validated with different PP materials, and has so far been successfully tested for Ricoh PP, HP Ultrasint PP, ALM PP400, VoxeljetPP, AM Polymers PP03, Ultimaker PP, EOS PP1101, and DSM ARNILENE AM6002.
在Dyemansion的快速展位上展示了测试的第一个结果，其中申请了在明年中期开始测试该技术的试验阶段。
Expanding the Stratasys alliance
DyeMansion5月份宣布与Stratasys战略联盟earlier this year, resulting from joint efforts by the companies to evaluate the use of DyeMansion’s post-processing platform as a mass production solution within 3D printing workflows.
As a result, the developed Print-to-Product workflow can now be used with Stratasys’H350 additive manufacturing platform, powered by selective absorption fusion (SAF) technology that utilizes theHigh Speed Sintering3D printing process developed byXaar.
Since initiating the partnership, DyeMansion has expanded its global partner platform with the gain of two new Illinois-headquartered authorized sales partners,Advanced Techand CATi, who offer the firm’s post-processing products alongside Stratasys’ technology.
随后，染发剂在北美市场内的工业后处理能力的需求迅速增加，其中三分之一的600个系统在该地区全球居住。为满足这一需求，公司在奥斯汀网站上扩展了其技术中心和运营中心，以包括消耗品的生产设施，以及备件的仓库。
Stratasys’ service bureau operationsStratasys Direct Manufacturingis also currently expanding its post-processing capabilities at its Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) production site in Texas, with the addition of DyeMansion systems such as the Powershot S and DM60.
“我们每月生产成千上万的PBF零件，我们目前的堤防设备有效地加工部件变得非常宝贵，”Stratasys Direct副总裁Greg Reynolds说。“增加更多的达到达到的能力，以进一步增强我们的能力是一个简单的决定。我们期待向客户推出这些改进的饰面。“
