Fugo Precision 3D launches patented centrifugal 3D printing system
Fugo Precision 3D has launched its Fugo Mannequin A stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing system, describing it because the ‘first centrifugal 3D printer.’
The corporate unveiled the Fugo Mannequin A on the latest RAPID + TCT occasion in Los Angeles.
Primarily based on SLA know-how, Fugo Precision 3D’s course of presents ‘layerless’ printing with ‘unprecedented sub-30-micron accuracy’ and the power to ship throughput ‘as much as ten instances quicker than conventional SLA printers,’ in keeping with the corporate.
The Fugo Mannequin A additionally integrates a number of post-production processes right into a single machine, enabling customers to print, wash, dry, and post-cure elements in an ‘all-in-one system.’ This, the corporate says, helps to scale back prices and enhance effectivity for producers.
With Fugo Precision 3D’s centrifugal 3D printing system, elements are printed in a cylindrical construct quantity from the wall outwards into the centre of the vat at speeds of as much as 1mm per minute. Washing, drying and post-curing can then start throughout the identical module.
Having patented the know-how, Fugo Precision 3D is focusing on its Fugo Mannequin A at ‘present high-volume producers’ with 3D printing as a ‘crucial factor of their manufacturing traces’ to turn out to be early adopters. The corporate says the machine is a multi-application printer that works effectively with a various vary of photopolymers. Reservations are presently being taken for the Mannequin A, with preliminary business manufacturing machines set to start delivery in Q1 of 2025.
“Our patented centrifugal printing know-how is not only an enchancment over current methods; it’s a full rethinking of what 3D printing can accomplish,” stated Bryan Allred, Founding father of Fugo 3D. “With the Fugo Mannequin A, we anticipate to assist producers construct larger high quality elements at a decrease price.”
“Because the introduction of SLA and DLP know-how, the one biggest drawback with these printers has been the necessity for a mechanical means to unfold the infinitely skinny layers. With the Fugo Mannequin A, we now have solved this drawback as our know-how doesn’t use any mechanical means to create layers throughout printing,” added Sasha Shkolnik, CTO.
