Additive Manufacturing Technologies（AMT）是英国的3D印刷领域自动化后处理系统提供商Formnext 2021.
The PostPro Surface Finishing (SF) systems are a culmination of extensive customer feedback and more than two years of intense development, which led to a complete redesign of the company’s PostPro3D chemical vapor smoothing system. The new systems have been designed to reduce the overall part cost associated with the chemical vapor smoothing process and reduce cycle times by 25 percent.
“Our mission at AMT has always been to develop new technologies that create commercial breakthroughs and enable the mass adoption of additive manufacturing,” said Joseph Crabtree, CEO and Founder of AMT. “We first achieved this five years ago with the development of the world’s first chemical vapor smoothing technology, PostPro3D, delivering end-use-ready parts and to date is the most adopted chemical vapor smoothing technology on the market.
“完全重新设计的软件和AMT新的SF系统的硬件可在TCO成本下以无与伦比的吞吐率率，现在允许增材制造作为传统制造业的可行替代品。”雷电竞充值
Driving AM industrialization
自2017年成立以来，AMT已将其后处理系统交付给全球25个以上的国家，并处理了超过600万个3D印刷零件。上个月，该公司筹集了1100万英镑的B系列资金确保推出其后Pro SF系统并支持其即将到来的交付PostPro Digital Manufacturing System(DMS).
资金回合紧随earlier £2.5 million raisedto help the company unlock the “full potential” of 3D printing post-processing, which was announced off the back of the firm’s partnership with multinational printing firm HP to provide end-to-end惠普多喷气融合的后处理服务(MJF) printing technologies.
In addition to its ongoing partnership with HP, AMT has received an英国创新grant worth £87,000 todevelop a new organic solvent专为弹性体材料后处理而设计。
Benefits of AMT’s PostPro SF systems
Since its initial debut at Formnext 2019, AMT’s PostPro SF systems have been further developed using feedback provided by 72 customers over a 50-month period. In the two and a half years since the systems’ introduction, AMT has intensely developed and redesigned them from the ground up with the primary aim of reducing the overall part cost associated with chemical vapor smoothing.
为了达到这个目标,PostPro科幻年代ystems have seen a significant reduction in consumable usage and an increase in consumable recycling efficiency, while reducing cycle time by up to 25 percent.
Select customers can also access an upgraded ‘+’ version of the SF system to reduce their processing time further still (67 percent) in order to increase their throughput. Additionally, the PostPro SF systems are designed to provide an enhanced user experience and allow for easier operation with a 75 percent smaller footprint.
AMT’s PostPro SF systems are currently available in two sizes: the PostPro SF50 and PostPro SF100. Ideal for prototyping and low volume production, the SF50 is equipped with a 50-liter processing chamber that allows users to process an average of 134 parts per run with a 100 minute cycle time.
The PostPro SF100, meanwhile, is designed for high volume production thanks to its 100-liter processing area. The larger chamber enables customers to process an average of 269 parts per run with a 25 percent reduction in process time, and a 17 percent reduction in TCO compared to AMT’s PostPro3D system.
升级后的SF100+具有与SF100相同的处理能力，用于连续的高量生产，具有增强的消耗品恢复和减少处理周期时间的好处。使用SF100+，用户可以利用与PostPro3D相比，每分钟生产的零件数量增加188％，两件零件减少了55％。
Features of the SF systems
与AMT的Postpro3D系统相比，每个新的Postpro SF系统的占地面积都更紧凑，降低了75％，以便在占用更少的地面空间的同时更轻松的操作。
Being automation-ready, the new systems are designed to be easy to use. To this end, the systems feature a front-loading processing chamber and optional removable transportation stabilizer for ease of movement and positioning during installation.
Each SF system is equipped with a 1080p Full HD 21.5 inch intuitive touch screen interface with full online support for processing queries and maintenance, alongside automated consumables re-ordering and logging. The systems are “Industry 4.0 ready” and are able to be seamlessly integrated with external MES and ERP systems.
关于消耗品，Postpro SF系统与AMT的所有饰面代理（FA 326，FA 26和FA 9202）兼容，并包括RFID罐识别和控制用户访问以提高安全性。此外，由于可选的内部变压器，该系统具有灵活的电源，该变压器据报道适合大多数本地电源，并提供优化的低压电源消耗。
AMT’s PostPro SF systems have been successfully tested with over 130 polymers and are capable of working with “all major OEM printer technologies”, ranging from HP toDesktop Metal. The SF50 and SF100 are now available for purchase, and customers attending Formnext this week can see the systems in action at AMT’s booth in Hall 12.1, stand C189.
