Ku Leuveninstalls XJet Carmel 1400C to explore medical 3D printing

以色列3D打印机和材料制造商XJetit has installed one of its Carmel 1400C ceramic additive manufacturing systems atKatholieke Universiteit Leuven(KU Leuven)in Belgium.This is the first XJet system to be implemented at an academic institution within Europe.

在Ku Leuven,带有XJET专有的Carmel 1400C纳米颗粒喷射技术(NPJ)将用于研究计划,并帮助开发该地区的3D打印医疗机会。

Shoufeng Yang, Professor of Additive Manufacturing at KU Leuven, is positive about the capabilities of the XJet Carmel 3D printer. “Since the Carmel was installed, we are already reaping the benefits,” commented Professor Yang. “The XJet system offers the high levels of precision and exceptional detailing required, levels which were previously impossible or extremely time-consuming in post-processing.”

The use of soluble support materials, with no harmful powders, makes it a much easier process and opens up opportunities to innovate that simply did not exist before.”

XJet Carmel 3D printers and NPJ technology

XJet’s range of陶瓷制品金属3D打印机基于其雷电竞app下载商标NPJ 3D打印过程。这种添加剂制造方法使用液体色散雷电竞充值形成3D印刷零件,而不是熔化粉末状材料,这是许多金属3D打印技术中的常见过程。在NPJ中,将陶瓷和金属颗粒喷射到液体外壳中。当它沉积在构建平台上时,液体蒸发,留下融合的陶瓷或金属层。最终的零件具有高水平的细节,表面表面和准确性。

XJET已在其Carmel的增材制造系统系列中采用了其NPJ技术。雷电竞充值这包括卡梅尔1400and the smaller Carmel 700,包括陶瓷和金属迭代。及时Formnext 2019,最近XJET将Carmel 1400系统更名为to distinguish which platforms can process ceramic (C) or metals (M). The company will be showcasing the updated Carmel 1400M and Carmel 1400C 3D printers at Formnext later this month.

最近,XJET参与了谈判以接受4500万美元的投资from Chinese electrical equipment and mobile game developerShenzhen Hifuture Information Technology Co. Ltd.投资的目的是帮助扩大XJet’s metal and ceramic 3D printing solutions in China.

Exploring ceramic 3D printing for medical applications

Carmel 1400C现在安装在Ku Leuven,学者将用于探索陶瓷添加剂制造的医疗和药物用途,以及用于研究和教育目的。雷电竞充值这项研究由杨教授及其团队在KU Leuven领导,到目前为止,他们使用3D打印来以陶瓷骨头的形式生产植入物。总体而言,该大学的目标是增加制造业中3D印刷的采用,并将利用Carmel 1400C系统来加速整个欧洲的增材制造研发。雷电竞充值

杨教授补充说:“我相信这是最好的陶瓷添加剂制造方法,很容易升级到未来的多材料添加剂雷电竞充值制造中,这在AM行业中是一个巨大的挑战。”“对于大学和制造业而言,这是一项令人惊叹的技术技术,成为一部分,这是非常令人兴奋的。”

As well as KU Leuven, XJet’s Carmel 1400C 3D printer has been installed at various other institutions in 2019 to help develop novel technologies. Researchers from the特拉华大学(Udel),例如,正在使用Carmel 1400C开发5G antennas.Marvel Medtech是一家位于威斯康星州的医疗设备制造商,专门从事癌症治疗,已将该系统收购为3D打印陶瓷冷冻疗法探针for its Solada machine, a robotic system which allows intervention inside the MRI imaging bore.
