3D printer manufacturerStratasys在航空公司公司之后，已收到其迄今为止最大的订单AM Craftpurchased four of its F900 3D printers.
AM Craft’s order adds to its existing portfolio of four Fortus F450mc 3D printers and will boost production capacity. Following the company’s recent investment, AM Craft is now one of the largest independent aerospace-focused 3D printing service providers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
AM Craft CEO and Co-founder Jānis Jātnieks explained the impact of using Stratasys’ 3D printing technology: “One of the mainstay pillars that enables us to realize this business case into real-world application is Stratasys’ highly-repeatable FDM based 3D printing technology in conjunction with aerospace-grade materials like ULTEM 9085 resin. It allows us to meet strict rules and regulations around certification that require the highest level of repeatability and traceability with every part manufactured.”
The Stratasys F900 3D printer
Stratasys’ flagship F900 Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) system has been in production for ten years and has undergone three generations of improvement. Based on the foundations on theFortus 900mc, the F900 is a convenient fit for manufacturers because it supports a wide spectrum of applications. According to Stratasys, the 3D printer’s main features include rapid production, internal cameras, and diverse material selection, lending itself to aerospace, automotive and industrial applications.
Stratasys制造产品管理总监韦恩·本森（Wayne Benson）将3D打印机描述为“当今市场上最通用，最可靠和可重复的”。它是Stratasys最大的系统，由于其烤箱温度升高，FDM系统能够打印出高性能的热塑性塑料。F900还与14种材料兼容，使AM Craft能够使用其SA材料进行基本原型，或用尼龙12 CF进行高强度打印。
F900’s FDM-based technology combined with aerospace-grade materials such as ULTEM 9085 resin, also allows aerospace companies to meet a stringent set of regulations. The flame-retardant, high-performance ULTEM 9085 resin, for example, manages to fulfill the strict flame, smoke, and toxicity (FST) aerospace criteria.
改建飞机室内装饰
AM Craft已安装F900系统，以便为更广泛的飞机内部应用提供可认证的3D零件，例如改建乘客飞机或货物货运。贾尼斯（Jānis）解释说，打印机通过实施移动充电站和Wi-Fi基础架构驱动了利润，这些基础设施“增加了客户安全措施和运输客户服务”。AM Craft的投资还将增强已经现有的硬件系列F450MC 3D打印机。雷电竞app下载这家航空航天公司总的来说将在其在里加的新设施中使用八台基于FDM的机器运营。该综合大楼致力于满足AM Craft的应用要求，预计将在第四季度全面运作。
AM Craft的新系统将使IT能够制造一系列新型的飞机内部组件，例如飞机座椅，镶板和管道。Stratasys 3D打印雷电竞app下载机还将允许其客户自定义其机舱。根据Stratasys制造解决方案总监Yann Rageul的说法，这对于Stratasys FDM Technology提供的“可重复，成本效益，低容量的制造”是可能的。
向前一步
根据F900 3D打印机命令，Rageul说：“由于Covid-19使世界重新思考供应链策略，因此AM Craft已经是领先的。”Raguel补充说，正如Stratasys FDM Technology已迅速调整为生产个人防护设备（PPE）一样，航空航天公司还应该促进其在卡宾内定制的目标。Rageul说：“可重复的，具有成本效益的低量制造业，这正是AM Craft对Stratasys投资的产品。”
Applications of Stratasys’ 3D printing technology
In the industrial sector, the packaging solutions companyMarchesini Group S.p.A， 也是customizing production through 3D printing。Mirko Fortunati, responsible for Coordinating the Mechanical Workshops explained that “Integrating our industrial-grade FDM 3D printers into our production process has drastically reduced our part lead times from several weeks to a few days.”
Multinational aerospace companyBAE Systems, has安装了Stratasys F900系统, and recently purchased its fourth F900 printer. The company believes the printer “plays an important role in this initiative, as it helps us meet our overall company objective to reduce costs and time-to-market.” Elsewhere, automotive manufacturer,General Motors拥有incorporated 17 Stratasys FDM 3D printersin its operations, elucidating their “speed, weight, reduction and cost-efficiency” as the core advantages.
