Printing process
Using the chemistry of long-chain polymers, the highly agile Xtreme 8K printer produces strong, stable and fully isotropic parts for demanding applications.
Step 1 – Freedom of control
The heated chamber of the Xtreme 8K makes it possible to process highly viscous and solid materials at room temperature. Both the handling of the materials and the use of the printer's DLP technology are very user-friendly and offer a high degree of freedom of control.
Step 2 – “Top-down” printing process
In order to perfect the surface quality of the components, the printing process of the Xtreme 8K system has been optimized. In addition to the patented pixel tuning, the system prints top-down. During the printing process, the parts are completely immersed in material and irradiated with UV light from above. This process requires less support structure.
Step 3 – Polymerization
The system's top-down printing process enables faster curing of the layers, eliminating the usual removal step. In addition, the Xtreme 8K has powerful projectors that ensure high power is added to each voxel, resulting in rapid polymerization.
Central advantages
Poduction in series
With the largest build volume currently available, particularly large-volume components and thousands of parts can be produced every day.
Isotropic material properties
The system's top-down printing process enables faster curing of the layers, eliminating the usual removal step.
Smooth surfaces
The Xtreme 8K achieves a surface roughness of less than 1 um RA and delivers exceptionally smooth surfaces thanks to the top-down printing process and pixel tuning.
Large variety of materials
The heated bowl of the Xtreme 8K allows the processing of highly viscous materials, from hard plastics to elastomers and rubber.
Applications
Qualified materials
Elastic ToughRubber 70
With a Shore A hardness of 70, the material is both flexible and strong. The tough, high-strength rubber has a high elongation capacity, making it particularly suitable for the production of seals and housings.
Loctite E-3843
The semi-flexible ABS-like material has high impact resistance and thermal stability. The high degree of elongation makes the high-performance material suitable for technically demanding applications.
E-RigidForm
The polyurethane-like resin is characterized above all by its strength and rigidity. It is also water-resistant and dimensionally stable, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications.
