previously on x-jet x-jet nano particle jetting welcome to a new era in metal additive
manufacturing now it's time to demonstrate how x-jet leverages the same nano-particle jetting
or npj technology for ceramic 3d printing using our new carmel line of am systems
unlike existing approaches xjet's npj is a highly versatile and scalable inkjet based technology
npj uniquely empowers the manufacturing of high quality ceramic parts of virtually any design with
superfine details all in a simple and safe process so how does it work ceramic materials packaged
within convenient cartridges are easily and safely loaded by hand into the x-jet carmel am system
with no need for a powder or liquid vat the carmel system uses only the materials required suspended
within our unique liquid formula nano sized particles are jetted from thousands of inkjet
nozzles these nanoparticles of various sizes and shapes are randomly distributed to allow for
natural packing and high density liquid droplets containing either ceramic model or support
materials are simultaneously deposited onto the build tray in an ultra fine layer the ceramic part
builds up as the tray descends with each pass of the inkjet printheads after printing the support
component made of a soluble material is easily disintegrated allowing for fast and clean support
removal the non-uv sensitive materials utilized by npj technology enable simple single step
centering our versatile npj technology empowers the rapid production of ceramic parts with super
fine details unprecedented safety and simplicity and unrestricted geometries xjet nanoparticle
jetting technology and the carmel line of am systems redefining ceramic additive manufacturing
change breeds challenge but also opportunity
today's industrial revolution is changing the way we manufacture and design metal parts
only those who embrace the most advanced digital technology to meet demands will meet opportunity
hp gives you the most advanced metals 3d printing technology for mass production with hp metal jet
businesses can drive growth by producing high quality final metal parts at a low cost per part
unlocking new revenue streams and new applications for outpacing out producing
and out thinking competitors hp metal jet brings metals 3d printing into mainstream manufacturing
it helps push beyond existing design constraints to create strong high performance parts
achieve complex functional final metal parts with unmatched speed and consistency to support
the industries and innovators that are changing lives hp is driving transformation with a unique
solution to help businesses go further faster in a world that demands they never stand still
hp metal jet technology reinvent opportunities
the infinite power of light bundled into a laser beam
allows for technologies with virtually endless opportunities
with the energy of the laser and the diverse characteristics of materials
at eos we accomplish a precise manufacturing technology so-called additive manufacturing
based on a cad model material in powder form is melted together
layer for layer in such a way that a three-dimensional object results at the end
material is thus added in the precise hundredth millimeter range instead of
removed as is done with conventional production in this way complex geometries can be created
functions integrated and entire component groups are joined into one part in the light of a laser
the energy is concentrated to turn innovation into reality
begin with a clean work environment next we'll be using a positive pressure respirator and
latex gloves next we will clear the notification screen from the printer you can see how the status
indicating leds will go from the green flashing build complete state to the idle blue state
for this video we'll be removing the powder manually using a brush
to brush the powder from the build cylinder into the catch bin funnel
this is our low pressure manifold it can be removed for easy cleaning
once most of the powder has been removed from the build cylinder we can eject the build by
using the controls on the touch screen to remove even more powder and then the print
now that most of the powder has been removed from the build plate
we can use a three millimeter hex key to remove the build plate from the printer
by unbolting them the build plate will simply lift out of the printer once all the powder has
been cleared from the build plate we can remove it from the printer we just need to move any
of the excess powder into the catch bin slot now we're ready to install a new build plate
simply put in the new build plate and screw it down with all four screws
once all four build plate screws are installed you can remove any excess powder from the build
area next we will lower the build plate and make it flush with the rest of the chamber
this doesn't have to be exact i feel along each edge of the build plate to make sure it's roughly
even with the chamber then i reinstall the low pressure manifold to give the recoder clearance
next we can change the recoder blade we remove the old bulb by sliding the bridge upwards and
removing the bridge from the fixture the old bulb simply then comes out we can install a new bulb
the same way by putting the bridge over top and then sliding the bridge over the fixture after
removing the catch bin from the printer empty the powder into the sieve we'll need to clean
the gasket before reinstalling the catch bin we also offer an automatic sieve this can help save
a lot of time and effort the powder in the bottom pan of the sieve can simply be
emptied directly into the feed cylinder next we'll be wedging the powder using a scraper
once all the powder has been wedged just like the build plate we will level the powder
next we will clean the optical window we recommend using a lens cleaning wipe
this will remove any debris that has been built up from the previous print we recommend having
a small trash can close by for any powder waste finally the print is all ready for its next job
close the lid and engage the interlocks on either side now you're ready to begin the purge cool
do
