Official launch at Fabtech 2018 in Atlanta
The Additec μPrinter is our first complete 3D printer that we are offering. The μPrinter was designed for customers who want to get a fully featured system , but dont need a particularly large build envelope. With small outside dimensions it is designed to fit onto a desk with its process chiller underneath it. Amongst our top priorities for this design was to reduce facility requirements and have a system that is easy to use yet also significantly cheaper than any alternative.
The base version specification of the μPrinter:
– 3×200 watt Lasers for 600 watt Power.
– Single Wire Feeder
– Process Chiller
– Slicing Software for toolpath generation
Price: 90,000 US Dollar (Excluding Shipping
Upgrade Options:
– Additional Wire Feeder (up to four) 5,000 US Dollar
– Additional Powder Feeder (up to four) 7,500 US Dollar
– Laser Upgrade to 1KW with five 200 watt lasers 15,000 US Dollar
Features:
Intelligent Process control with fault detection.
Inert build envelope of 160x120x450mm (X,Y,Z). Low shield gas requirements due to small chamber volume.
Automatic venting of chamber through the rear of the printer after the deposition process is complete increases operator safety. Due to small shield gas quantities a normally vented room is sufficient.
Automatic wire cutters within the build chamber allow the feedstock to be trimmed automatically after a fault without wasting shield gas by opening the system and trimming the wire manually.
Compact external dimensions of 390x390x110mm making setup and shipping easy and affordable
Clean deposition process when using wire, therefore the system can be setup in non industrial facilities.
Integrated filtration to remove fumes.
Wifi and USB connectivity to upload g-code. Built in webcam allows for remote monitoring, even from smartphone or tablet.
Continual support through access to software upgrades after delivery.
Access to all parameters through gcode.
Fits 0.6mm to 1mm wire diameters, spooled on up to 300mm (12″) common MIG Spools. For powder, the recommended particle size is 45-90 micron.
