Fakuma 2024: ARBURGadditive

At Fakuma 2024, ARBURG (Hall A3, Stand 3101) is showcasing two exhibits used for industrial additive manufacturing. The focus will be on applications that are of particular interest to injection moulding customers. A freeformer 750-3X with a high temperature design will process original plastic granules into functional components in hard-soft combinations. The TiQ 2 filament printer will demonstrate how equipment and robot grippers are 3D printed.

The freeformer 750-3X processes original plastic granules

At Fakuma 2024, a freeformer 750-3X with a high-temperature design will produce sophisticated functional components from a wide range of different plastic granulates. These include materials with specific approvals and certifications for use in sectors such as medicine, electronics, mobility and aerospace. The temperature of the build chamber can be raised to 200 degrees Celsius and the granulate is plasticised at up to 450 degrees Celsius. The component carrier that lends the system its name is 750 square centimetres in size. The high-end machine has three discharge units, meaning that even complex geometries and functional hard-soft combinations with support material can be created. This industrial 3D printer can be used to quickly and flexibly additively manufacture and customise larger functional components or small batches, using the APF method.

TiQ 2 for the 3D printing of equipment

The TiQ 2 3D printer is particularly economical and, with its open material system, is predestined for successful entry into the world of additive manufacturing. It is possible, for example, to produce resilient suction grippers and mechanical grippers quickly, flexibly and cost-effectively. In addition to the additive manufacturing of end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), the open material system is perfect for the cost-effective 3D printing of devices and other operating equipment.
