Do you want to print large parts with one or more materials? For small series or production? Do you need specific post- processing functions?
The modular MetalFAB1 architecture ensures maximum flexibility and allows configurations up to 11 modules. When your capacity need increases, add more modules in the future. You can optimize the print parameter settings of the MetalFAB1 for specific part qualification. To better understand the MetalFAB1 process, please see this video.
The MetalFAB1 has automated the manual steps of conventional powder bed fusion (PBF) printers to ensure highest productivity, resulting in the lowest cost per printed part. The fully automated process reduces human errors and increases reproducibility. Additive Industries evaluates a cost per part business case for new customers.
For industrial-quality production, the part reproducibility of the MetalFAB1 is assured through solid machine design in combination with advanced laser calibration technology that can be pre-programmed to automatically run at specified intervals. Predictability is achieved by combining part build simulation, scripted process controls and in-process quality monitoring.
Additive Industries offers World Class Service to maximize the MetalFAB1’s overall equipment efficiency. A continuous open dialogue with our customers feeds the technology roadmap for continuous improvement. MetalFAB1 system is integrated with the Additive World Platform, which supports the 3D metal printing workflow. It allows our customers to store, share and analyse all relevant data in order to learn and improve quickly, and meet the high standards of regulated markets.
