Materialise launches Build Processor support for Deskop Metal binder jetting, obtains CE marking for medical devices

Belgian software and 3D printing service providerMaterialisehas announced a strategic partnership with metal 3D printing companyDesktop Metalto provide support for its Binder Jetting technologies.

The support, which covers Desktop Metal’sShop SystemandProduction System平台,旨在通过提供简化的端到端工作流程来帮助寻求扩展其3D打印操作的公司。

Materialise also revealed it has obtained CE Marking Certification for the majority of its personalized orthopedic and cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) applications. With this certification, the firm takes another step forward towards making the technology more accessible for surgeons.

“我们与桌面金属的合作伙伴关系支持我们的下一代制造处理器策略,以消除采用3D打印的剩余障碍,作为连接的工业制造过程的一部分,” Materalize副总裁兼董事总经理Stefaan Motte说。

“消除速度,规模和成本的障碍需要在软件和机器之间进行更紧密的集成。”

Mitalize的构建处理器将3D设计转换为针对各种工业印刷机的机器特异性构建文件,现在可以使用以支持桌面金属的活页夹喷射技术。Materialize还宣布了金属粘合剂喷射的烧结支持生成,这是Magics的SG+模块和增强3D嵌套的一部分,以创建一个更好的连接工作流程并提高金属粘合剂喷射工艺的整体生产力。

Desktop Metal will make the Build Processor available as an add-on software offering with its existing technologies, Shop System and Production System.Launched at Formnext 2019购物系统是一个负担得起的,交钥匙系统designed for mid-volume manufacturing. It delivers parts with detailed features and finished surface parts up to 10 times faster than those produced by Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) 3D printing technologies. Desktop Metal’s Production System, meanwhile, is designed for themass production of partsat high volumes. The system achieves print speeds up to 100 times those of PBF additive manufacturing technologies, enabling the cost-effective production of potentially millions of parts each year.

桌面金属产品和业务开发副总裁Arjun Aggarwal说:“从一开始,台式金属就开始使用创新产品和技术破坏传统的金属制造业。”“我们的金属3D打印解决方案的结合强度以及物料在3D打印软件和应用程序开发方面的三十年经验将有助于加速使用端到端的金属3D打印解决方案的制造业转换。”

Earlier this year, Desktop Metal merged with blank check company Trine Acquisition Corp in order togo public with its 3D printing business. The move saw the firm listed on the NYSE with the ticker symbol “DM” and an estimated equity valuation of $2.5 billion.

Scaling serial 3D printing

Manufacturers looking to scale their 3D printing operations are often faced with increasingly complex environments, and optimizing their production processes through fine-tuning various build parameters is an important aspect in achieving scale. Monitoring and analyzing build data enables manufacturers to make informed decisions regarding production planning.

To aid in this, Materialise has introduced its Machine Connectivity Pack as part of its流媒体8.2softwarewith the aim of working towards a more open market model to help users realize the full potential of 3D printing.

“We believe access to build data is crucial to advance our industry and usher in a new era of industrial scale additive manufacturing,” said Motte. “That’s why Materialise has always advocated open connectivity standards. I am excited that leading machine vendors such as Desktop Metal, share our beliefs and support machine connectivity through open standards such as MT Connect and OPC-UA.”

CE Marking Certification for medical devices

Materialise also announced a milestone in itspersonalized medical device operations,已从欧洲医疗设备指令获得了CE标记认证,以实现其定制骨科和CMF解决方案。认证产品包括3D打印anatomical models,患者匹配的手术指南和植入物。雷竞技官网登录

CE标记批准证实,医疗设备符合欧洲医疗设备指令的要求,而Mitalize是最早获得此特定认证的大型3D印刷医疗设备组合的认证之一。到目前为止,该公司的设备各自需要医疗处方,该处方创造了用于扩展生产的行政障碍。

“当欧洲医疗设备指令于1993年出现时,使用个性化设备非常出色,” Materalize Medical副总裁兼董事总经理Brigitte de Vet解释说。“在过去的30年中,我们进行了高级的3D计划和印刷,以将这项技术扩展到更大的受众。在“物质”中,我们谈论的是每年在全球提供数千台设备。”

The CE Marking essentially demonstrates that 3D personalized devices meet the same strongest quality requirements as regular devices. This certification will also help to make personalized devices more accessible and readily available. For example, surgeons will no longer need to sign a prescription for the devices they order, lessening the administrative load and creating a more flexible process for managingpersonalized devices in hospitalsand other settings.

De Vet补充说:“使用个性化设备的优点是,它们在手术环境中增加了MOTE可预测性,并允许对任何临床状况(包括最具挑战性的疾病)进行处理。”“现在为我们的大型投资组合提供此标记将有助于将这些个性化设备带给更多的患者,从而消除了我们客户的一些管理限制。”
