Automize Polymer 3D Printing to Scale Production

Benefits of a Manual Set-up

• 92% machine availability_____ 4 weeks of planned and unplanned downtime considered

• 40 – 71% utilization_____ utilization needs flexibility in shift model, 2 weeks of unscheduled production time considered

• Moderate performance_____ approx. 231 - 411 builds per year

• High part quality_____ 98% homogenous parts in one build

Cost-Efficient & Easy
Designed for Development Environments

This cost-effective manual solution can be operated with multiple machines and is ideally suited to development environments. Changing the material is quick and easy, which means that the solution can be used flexibly with different materials.

• Cost-efficient
• Optimal for small powder amounts
• Uncomplicated and quickly ready to use

Benefits of a Semi-Automized Set-up

• 92% machine availability_____ 4 weeks of planned and unplanned downtime considered

• 48 – 71% utilization_____ less flexibility in shift model needed, reduction of operator time possible, 2 weeks of unscheduled production time considered

• High performance_____ approx. 279 - 411 builds per year (+17% compared to manual set-up)

• Ultra-high part quality_____ 98% homogenous parts in one build, 100% repeatable quality from build to build, 100% reproducible quality from machine to machine

Semi-Automated and Versatile

The semi-automated solution for quick and safe powder handling offers an attractive price-performance ratio and is ideally suited for being used with several machines. Last but not least: operators have significantly less contact with the powder.

• Modular solution, scalable to multiple systems
• Optimal for moderate powder amounts 
• Less operator contact with the material

Benefits of a Fully-Automized Set-up

• 92% machine availability_____ 4 weeks of planned and unplanned downtime considered

• 63 – 71% utilization_____ utilization is independent from shift model and operator time, 2 weeks of unscheduled production time considered

• Ultra-high performance_____ approx. 361 - 411 builds per year (+56% compared to manual set-up)

• Ultra-high part quality_____ 98% homogenous parts in one build, 100% repeatable quality from build to build, 100% reproducible quality from machine to machine

Fully Automatic With a Closed Powder Cycle

With the IPCM P plus, you can transport larger amounts of plastic powder. This fully automatic solution ensures consistently high material quality and serves a variety of systems by precisely dosing, processing, homogenizing and conditioning the powder. The closed powder cycle guarantees the traceability of powder batches.

• Material batches can be traced to meet the requirements of quality-sensitive industries
• Ideal for additive manufacturing connections with large powder volumes
• Modular approach that is easy to expand
• Closed cycle: the powder is contained in a protected environment at all times
