This 3D printer is our unique solution for additive mass production of highly complex sand cores for metal casting. Productivity is just one of the many features of the VX1300 X. Designed to be intelligent and low-maintenance, the VX1300 X can be integrated into existing networked production environments within the framework of Industry 4.0. The tool-less production of highly complex sand casting cores maximizes the design freedom of designers and minimizes tooling costs at the same time. Machine, material and automated post-processing are perfectly coordinated for a sustainably optimized value-added chain and fast variant changes.
voxeljet has developed the VX1300 X as part of our cooperation project ICP “Industrialization of Core Printing”. This 3D printer was designed for additive mass production that is unrivaled in terms of productivity and automation. A highly efficient process unit enables bi-directional coating and simultaneous printing of the construction panel. This enables the VX1300 X to achieve unprecedented short shift times and high output volumes.
The VX1300 X offers batch production with the highest flexibility and can be operated optionally with different material systems. With a fully automated finishing cell, the complex sand cores are prepared for metal casting and integrated into the existing casting process. The tool-less design of the sand cores enables variant changes at unrivalled speed. This is possible without time-consuming tool changes and production downtimes.
The VX1300 X always keeps itself and its production in view. This is because it is equipped as standard with redundant assemblies for process reliability.
