We’re excited to announce that 3D Printing metallic components is now not a stretch on the Ultimaker Platform! This week, they launched the Ultimaker Steel Growth Equipment as a brand new product to make sure that metallic printing is now a completely built-in functionality of the Ultimaker Platform.
Ultimaker’s metallic printing providing has been designed to supply an reasonably priced, entry-level end-to-end resolution to Ultimaker customers that want to scale back the manufacturing prices and lead time of metallic components.
When Ought to You Take into account Utilizing MFFF for Your Manufacturing Wants?
The candy spot for metallic printing functions on an Ultimaker 3D printer is in small batch runs (from 1 to twenty items/yr) of components and elements that can’t be purchased off-the-shelf. It is usually useful for creating personalized instruments and practical prototypes.
Low volumes of the sort of software can find yourself being three to 10 instances costlier if produced by conventional milling machines or different extra conventional metallic 3D processes.
Ultimaker customers can now discover a brand new vary of metallic 3D printing functions by upgrading the Ultimaker S-line printers with the Steel Growth Equipment. The brand new and easier workflow makes creating chrome steel components simpler, extra environment friendly, and extra reasonably priced.
Main advantages for customers in getting began with the Ultimaker Steel Growth Equipment embody:
• An all-in-one package deal with all of the supplies and equipment wanted for metallic printing in your Ultimaker, together with 17-4 PH chrome steel filament from BASF Ahead AM
• Free Ultimaker Cura software program (5.1) with optimized metallic half slicing options
• Entry to the unique metallic FFF e-learning content material on Ultimaker 3D Printing Academy
• Entry to post-processing providers by means of the BASF Debinding and Sintering Order Administration Portal
•Entry to further digital property and assist sources the place you’ll be able to immediately question metallic printing specialists
By bringing collectively the advantages of slicing components utilizing Ultimaker Cura 5.1, with best-in-class BASF Ahead AM Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH filament, and the upper decision achievable with the Ultimaker 0.4 mm CC print core, customers can now:
• Obtain tolerances of under ± 0.4 mm for sintered components
• Reduce distortions and delamination occurring throughout sintering
• Maintain porosity as little as 3% – 4% in last metallic components
• Profit from actual 17-4PH chrome steel grade chemical and mechanical properties
BASF Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH is a filament for producing metallic elements in 17-4 chrome steel on customary Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printers. It may be totally warmth handled to excessive ranges of power and hardness. It’s subsequently splendid for Petrochemistry, Aerospace, Automotive, and the Medical Business.
It’s designed for final ease of dealing with on typical Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printers. BASF Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH combines higher freedom of design with a decrease whole value of possession – printing metallic components simpler, sooner, and reasonably priced. Components printed with Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH get hold of their last properties, together with hardness and power, by means of the catalytic debinding and sintering course of. The catalytic debinding expertise was developed and launched by BASF and has emerged because the trade customary.
Each Ultimaker Steel Growth equipment comes with a roll of BASF Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH filament.
