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 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.
