捷克公司VUTS为汽车,纺织品和食品包装行业生产并开发了专门的单用药机。该公司成立于1950年代,以座右铭为“我们构建您的机器”的座右铭,为其客户提供了一系列全面的服务。
The company’s machine-building process starts with research and development (R&D) before its team designs a machine unique to the customer’s needs. VUTS will then assemble the machine in-house and integrate it into the customer’s site.
VUTS was an early adopter of conventional filament and resin-based 3D printing technologies. For many years, the R&D team relied on additive manufacturing to conveniently produce prototypes, alongside some end-use parts.
最终,传统的3D打印技术未能与所需的生产速度VUT保持同步,因此工程师转向长期合作伙伴工业技术系统S.R.O找到答案。答案是来自Nexa3D的NXE400 Ultrafast 3D打印机,该打印机为VUT创造了时间和容量。
跟上生产的步伐
尽管在某种程度上有用,但传统的3D打印技术不能与VUTS的机器生产保持同步。在打印零件时,延迟在近乎完整的产品的探险中引起了搁置,这些产品被迫坐在生产厅里,而团队等待组件完成3D打印。
工业技术系统(ITS)S.R.O的任务是找到可以减少交货时间的3D打印机。看到其快速产品的价值后,它成为Nexa3D经销商。当VUTS接近时,工业技术系统将NEXA3D NXE400识别为能够将VUTS的生产加速到所需速度。
“Nexa3D’s platform has a clear differentiator to other printers — speed,” explained Filip Erdeljac, director of sales and business development at Industrial Technology Systems. “Speed is a common request from our customers, who often struggle to find a printer that meet their demands. The Nexa3D can produce multiple parts in under an hour.”
Ultrafast technology in action
NXE400提供了16升的构建体积,x 6.3 in x 15.7英寸(27.5 cm x 16 cm x 40 cm)中的尺寸为10.8。它使用获得专利的润滑剂保险公司(LSPC),可达到SLA和DLP系统的生产率20倍。因此,该机器是真正快速原型制作和设计迭代以及工业级生产的工具。该系统匹配注射型质量,可产生准确,可靠的印刷品。
“The speed and build volume of the NXE 400 meant VUTS could fully equip an entire machine with a set of disparate 3D printed grippers and fixtures in a few hours, sometimes even less,” added Erdeljac. “This task previously would have required multiple print jobs over several days. In another example, the NXE 400 printed an entire set of four components in a fraction of the time it previously took to print just one part using conventional 3D printing.”
“Equipped with the NXE400, VUTS will save an enormous amount of time, enabling it to jumpstart its research and development,” explained Michele Marchesan, chief growth officer at Nexa3D. “The machine makes it possible to compress the R&D phase by several days, so VUTS can brings products to market more quickly.
Marchesan补充说:“为了支持客户的成功,Nexa3D与Henkel合作开发了一种特定的材料。”“令人惊讶的是,高生产率和负担得起的材料成本的结合结合在一起,以匹配注射成型经济学。”
删除速度和尺寸约束也使VUT可以发现3D打印的新应用程序。VUTS现在比以前生产更大的3D打印零件。此外,团队的减少工作量释放了他们从事其他项目的时间,并为机器创造了为客户生产备件的能力。
VUTS has also leveraged its additive manufacturing expertise to offer a specialized 3D printing service, where customers turn to the company for quickly produced 3D printed parts.
