Prodways 3D打印为Schneider Electric选择了数十亿美元的机会

机器制造商的工业3D打雷电竞app下载印机产品have been selected as the driving force of a project seeking to boost the turnaround of commercial electrical components.

Global energy management firmSchneider Electric(ePA:SU)和法国添加剂制造开发平台雷电竞充值铂3dhave partnered with the company on the project.

The aim its to incorporate 3D printing into the production of plastic injection molds in Schneider’s product development pipeline.

“我们的目标是使用尖端技术缩短产品开发周期,”施耐德电气公司OpenLab的经理FrédérickChoupin解释说。

“With 3D printing and agile project management, we’re in a position to overcome the traditional obstacles of long-established processes and market an innovative product 60% faster.”

一个数十亿美元的机会

每年,施耐德电气公司都会推出约400种新产品,包括电动汽车充电站,能量表,断路器和太阳能电池板。2017年,该公司报告的收入超过240亿欧元(280亿美元),这要感谢战略性的时间推向这一成功的很大一部分。

Under this new 3D printing partnership, Schneider is using Prodways’ trademark MOVINGLight technology to create 3D molds for its electrical components.

MOVINGLight is a digital light processing (DLP) photopolymerization based technology. It is capable of producing high resolution parts at high speeds from a liquid resin. At Prodways MOVINGLight technology is available for both plastic and ceramic materials. In Schneider’s case, the plastic 3D printers, e.g. the LD, L, and L series D variants, are the best selection for injection mold making.

在一年的时间里,迄今为止,合作者为施耐德的OpenLab开发了25个印刷工具模具,这又导致数百个生产级注入模制零件。SébastienGuenet 3D主管解释说:“通过3D打印,我们可以在几个小时内生成工具原型,并根据功能测试的需求立即修改它们,然后注入最终材料部分,”

“Thanks to this process, we considerably speed up the new-product development cycle since the final material parts are already certified even before the aluminum production mold is finalized.”

炽烈的小径

Recently, Prodways recently launched the compactProMaker LD-3 MovingLight DLP 3D printer,宣布其快速添加锻造的首次运输(RAF) metal 3D printer.

同时,施耐德电气还将其努力投入到3D印刷房屋项目瓦伦西亚技术大学. Since 2016, Schneider’s Openlab has also been working with Stratasys 3D printer to streamline its production.

In this most recent partnership, Prodways, Openlab by Schneider Electric and Platinium 3D hope to reaffirm their position as trailblazers in France’s 3D printing industry.
