ExOne Launches World’s Broadest Portfolio of Industrial- Grade 3D Printed Tooling Solutions - Seite 3

Manufacturers can now purchase X1 Tooling products directly from ExOne through the company’s ExOne Adoption Centers — or manufacturers can purchase a 3D printer for tooling applications.

Sizing options vary for the type of tooling as detailed below:

• All sand- and sand-infiltrated tools, which includes X1 ThermoForm, X1 Layup, X1 Washout, X1 SandCast, are produced in the build volume of ExOne S-Max series printers: 1800 x 1000 x 700 mm (70.9 x 39.4 x 27.6 in.). The printed sections can also be segmented and assembled together before epoxy infiltration to make even larger tools.
• Currently, all X1 MetalTool and X1 DieMold tools are 3D printed in an X1 25Pro build volume of 400 x 250 x 250 mm (15.75 x 9.84 x 9.84 in), with development underway to 3D print tooling options in the X1 160Pro, which offers a build volume of 800 x 500 x 400 mm (31.5 x 19.7 x 15.8 in).

What is Binder Jet 3D Printing?

ExOne’s binder jet 3D printing transforms powdered materials — metal, sand or ceramic — into highly dense and functional precision parts at high speeds.

An industrial printhead selectively deposits a binder into a bed of powder particles creating a solid part one thin layer at a time, similar to printing on sheets of paper. When printing metals, the final bound metal part must be sintered in a furnace to fuse the particles together into a solid object. ExOne now delivers high densities of greater than 97% for most metals, in line with Metal Injection Molding or gravity castings.

Binder jet 3D printing technology is viewed as a desirable and sustainable production method, largely because of its high speed, low waste and cost, as well as material flexibility.
