AM Options has unveiled the M4 Fundamental, a compact, entry-level post-processing resolution for industrial 3D printing customers.
The brand new vibratory ending system from the Rösler Group’s additive manufacturing-focused model is claimed to be ‘inside attain of nearly any additive manufacturing person’ and is geared in direction of these searching for a cheap resolution to complete their 3D printed components.
Described as ‘single, plug-and-play unit’ providing a variety of ending choices, the M4 Fundamental can be utilized for polymer and steel components as much as 70 × 70 × 25 mm in dimension, and produced by stereolithography, selective laser sintering, MJF or selective laser melting. AM Options believes the machine, which has been designed for straightforward set up with lockable rollers and a typical 230 V connection, shall be nicely suited to job retailers, service bureaus and in-house AM groups.
“At AM Options we see a transparent shift: even smaller AM customers are beneath strain to ship constant, production-grade surfaces,” says Colin Spellacy, Head of UK Gross sales at AM Options. “With the M4 Fundamental we’re giving them a sensible, inexpensive technique to exchange improvised guide steps with a managed, repeatable course of. It’s a gateway into true industrial post-processing.”
Per a press launch, the M4 Fundamental combines a 20-litre rotary vibrator with an built-in 25-litre course of water tank, extending process-water life and decreasing downtime. This closed-loop strategy, along with decrease water and energy consumption, retains working prices down whereas minimising environmental affect.
“High quality, repeatability and effectivity in post-processing are now not non-compulsory,” Spellacy added. “With the M4 Fundamental, we’re making that commonplace accessible to everybody within the AM worth chain.
Can we cease calling post-processing AM’s ‘soiled little secret’?
As additive manufacturing (AM) post-processing firms mark 10 yr anniversaries, isn’t the key nicely and really out?
