Desktop Metal and Evonik Expand Partnership, Announce Qualification of Photopolymer on Large Format Additive Manufacturing 2.0 Systems for High-Performance, High-Temperature Products - Seite 2

The properties offered by INFINAM ST 6100 L make the material ideal for 3D printed production of molds, models, and tooling, as well as end-use parts in the aerospace, automotive, or electronics industries. Additionally, tools or parts 3D printed in INFINAM ST 6100 can deliver very precise features and a smooth surface finish, especially when paired with the crisp 65 μm resolution offered on the ETEC Pro XL. Parts printed in this material can also be machined and polished, in addition to other post-processing techniques.

High-Throughput Production with Breakthrough Materials

A 3D printing process in use since 1999, DLP harnesses the power of light from a video projector to cure photosensitive liquid resins into parts layer by layer, one quick flash at a time. DLP is one of the fastest, most accurate forms of polymer 3D printing, delivering high accuracy and a smooth surface finish with consistent materials properties.

The ETEC Xtreme 8K is the world’s largest industrial-grade DLP printer for high-volume production. With a 66-liter build volume and two overhead projectors, the Xtreme 8K is ideal for high-throughput tooling and end-use part applications, as well as the production of larger parts. The ETEC Xtreme 8K offers a build volume of 450 × 371 x 399 mm (17.72 x 14.61 x 15.71 in). The system is produced at Desktop Metal’s Polymer Center of Excellence in Richardson, Texas.

Priced for purchase at under $40,000, the ETEC Pro XL is a premium DLP printer with 385 nm wavelength technology, 5mW/cm² power, and Hyperprint closed-loop printing – all of which work together to deliver premium results at high printing speeds. The ETEC Pro XL offers a build volume of 249.1 x 140.1 x 165.1 mm (9.8 x 5.5 x 6.5 in).

Parts 3D printed on the ETEC Xtreme 8K in Evonik INFINAM ST 6100 L material will be on display during the 2024 Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) Conference in Chicago, from March 10 to 14 at the Evonik booth P12, Salon D.
