与Immensa Labs一起推出了阿联酋的“有史以来的” 3D打印设施

Continuing its 3D printing mission, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced the launch of its first-ever 3D printing facility by way of Immensa Labs.

The facility, which is based in Dubai, is part of the Dubai 3D printing strategy which was launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The strategy aims to promote global implementation of 3D printing “for the service of humanity and promote the status of the UAE and Dubai as a leading hub of 3D printing technology by the year 2030。”

Immensa Labs成立于2016年,现在将更好地实现其为本地企业和客户提供3D打印解决方案的目标。

However, as Melaine Keeley from D2M Solutions FZE points out,

[D2M Solutions FZE] actually announced the2014年在迪拜的第一台3D印刷厂。我们是Stratasys Direct Manufacturing网络的一部分,我们使用FDM技术在内部拥有多个高端Fortus 3D生产系统,此外,我们在迪拜场所拥有Polyjet 3D打印机。雷电竞app下载

3D printing capabilities

新的Immensa Labs最先进的设施现在是超过八个3D打印系统的所在地,能够以30多种不同的材料生产。根据Immensa Labs的说法,业务运营机器使用选择性激光烧结(SLS),立体光刻(SLA),融合沉积建模(FDM)和材料喷射技术。Immensa Technology Labs首席执行官Fahmi al-Shawwa解释了该公司地理位置的重要性,

There are ample opportunities for organisations in the UAE to adopt AM to enhance their efficiencies and competitiveness, and we are focused on providing world-class and viable 3D printing solutions. Our team is passionate about 3D printing, design and manufacturing, and we cover the entire process to help our clients every step of the way, from design concepts and material options to technology selection, 3D printing production and post-production processing.

Immensa Labs指出,它已经开发了自己的专有技术,其中包括诸如抛光和染色之类的后处理方法。研发是迪拜公司的主要目标,并希望继续通过新技术扩大其运营。

迪拜3D打印在新级别

The opening of the facility hopes to expand use of 3D printing in Dubai. Other projects in the region have been rather large-scale withplans to 3D print skyscrapersand, more recently, a混凝土3D印刷研究实验室。Construction 3D printing appears to be a central part of Dubai’s expectations for the future of this technology with thelaunch of its Smart Buildability Index。However on a new level, this first 3D printing facility should help implement additive manufacturing as an alternative method for the creation of small components or parts.

Immensa Labs首席执行官Fahmi al-Shawwa继续证明对技术的期望,如他所说,

我们很高兴打开大门并支持迪拜3D打印策略,因为我们相信AM是制造业世界的下一个重要一步。这项技术将通过解锁新的可能性来支持创新的新时代。

If Dubai and the greater UAE is truly intent on accelerating adoption of 3D printing, the opening of this facility will be a big step towards these goals.
