Arburg's many examples of components, including a wide variety of success stories from customers such as Tesa and Wilson, were a great source of ideas and inspiration here. New freeformer 750-3X ARBURG presented its new freeformer 750-3X at the trade show. [...] In addition, the GESTICA control system has been optimised for additive manufacturing in terms of process stability, part quality and build time. freeformer 200-3X "soft" When it comes to processing soft materials, Arburg used a large number of parts to demonstrate that a very wide range of shore hardnesses can be achieved with the Arburg Plastic Freeforming (APF). [...] These re-worked lighting and ventilation components and the cup holder made it clear that the freeformer can be used both to produce spare parts and to implement customised design requirements.
The centrepiece will be a Freeformer 750-3X in a high-temperature version, which can process Ultem 9085 and PAEK as original granulate, for example. [...] Freeformer 750-3X in high-temperature version At rapid + tct 2025, a high-temperature version of the Freeformer 750-3X will be presented, which can additively manufacture sophisticated functional components from a wide range of different plastic granulates. [...] Pictures 183833 With the 750-3X high-temperature Freeformer with three discharge units, the installation space can be tempered to 200 degrees Celsius and the original granulate is plasticised at up to 450 degrees Celsius. iKnee DSC5567 The Freeformer is also suitable for new application ideas in medical technology.
The Freeformer 200-3X provided is being used at AIMPLAS to carry out tests to qualify new materials for additive manufacturing. [...] AIMPLAST relies on Arburg Plastic Freeforming (APF) with the Freeformer. A Freeformer 200-3X has now been installed at the Plastics Institute. [...] The program created for the Freeformer allows small series to be additively manufactured in a reproducible manner and the option to further optimise the process individually if required is retained.
