Admaflex 300 high volume ceramic & metal 3D printer

Overview

Admaflex 300

Featuring a large build volume and the unique capability of 3D printing both advanced ceramics and metals on one machine. The Admaflex 300 is ideal for many demanding applications including mass-production of silica shells and cores for high precision casting.

Feature

Large build volume

The Admaflex 300 has an extremely stable machine concept for production, capable of handling feedstocks with a broad range of viscosities. The printer is available with build volumes up to 260x220x520 mm. It is designed to meet the demands of customers using the Admaflex Technology for example for investment casting applications.

Feature

Patented feedstock system

The Admaflex 300 has an integrated high-volume material handling system with automatic vision controlled dosing to enable 3D printing of large components. It is designed to effectively handle materials with high viscosity, normally associated with ceramic slurries, enabling high reliability and speeds for continuous high-throughput and high volume production. Our feedstock system is patented with US patent number 11,141,909. This innovative system also enables efficient feedstock management by reusing the excess material.

Benefits

  • Produce large components
  • A clean workplace and no material waste
  • Quick and easy material switch
  • High throughput

Feature

Modular concept

The Admaflex 300 is designed with a modular concept, to accommodate all future developments. The machine can be configured with resolutions and building volumes that meets your requirements.

Benefits

  • Custom to your requirements and budget
  • Access to future upgrades
  • Best value for money

Feature

Free Adjustable Printing Parameters

The Admaflex 300 is an open system that provides full control of the printing process, with ability to customize and optimize parameters before and during the printing process. Printjobs with settings can be prepared and stored on a centralized data server and sent to the printer. For traceability of the printing process, logfiles are stored automatically. The machine opens up the opportunity to use commercial available materials and the flexibility to develop own materials. A unique standard software feature is the “multi-part printing”, that enables you to control light exposure settings for each individual layer and for each individual part, speeding up your development.

Benefits

  • Unlimited research and development freedom, open to the use all materials
  • Easy preparation of printjobs
  • Full access to all advanced process parameters, adjustable during the printjob
  • Increased efficiency with “multi-part printing” at no additional cost

Feature

In-process monitoring system

The vision-based, in-process quality monitoring system is an excellent feature for full traceability of the printing process. All relevant production data are stored with documented proof of the printing process. The monitoring system allows the user for example to partially stop adding layers to a defected part to allow the successful finalization of all remaining products. Real-time video capture and time-lapse recording are standard features of the monitoring system. When connected to your company network, via any laptop or desktop PC, you can have remote access to the machine and monitor the process real time.

Benefits

  • Documented proof of the printing process
  • Realtime process monitoring and process adjustment
  • Increased throughput and efficiency
  • Enhanced usability with remote access

  • Customer testimonials

    “The parts 3D printed with the Admaflex 130 meet the required fine features needed for our R&D work.”

    Raymond Wei
  • Customer testimonials

    “The Admatec 3D printer has taken the investment casting prototype manufacturing to the next level. Its simplicity and ease of operation are unmatched compared to traditional pattern 3D printing.”

    Jack Ziemba
  • Customer testimonials

    “Innovative approach for 3D printing of ceramics, not only for academia but also for the production of small series. It performs well on mid-size series for small parts too. The cost-effectiveness makes the process suitable for more applications, leading to more scale of the process as a whole, which will have a further positive impact on costs.”

    Alex Hilgenberg
  • Customer testimonials

    “The Admaflex 130 is world’s first class ceramic 3D printer! The operation is easy and practical in use for material testing and performing research.”

    Li Hongshu Lee
  • Customer testimonials

    “The MEMTI group already had experience with several commercial available 3D printers using the Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology. To take the next step in ceramic material development and production, the group invested in the Admaflex130 3D printer to develop new ceramic materials for the production of components with complex features.”
