Automation solutions for 3D printing

Automated 3D Printing with Gantry Systems: Efficiency and Scalability

Additive manufacturing processes like 3D printing are revolutionizing production, but manual intervention between print jobs limits efficiency. Purpose AM Systems addresses this challenge by automating 3D printing workflows with gantry systems connected to each printer. The gantry inserts a fresh printing plate before the job begins and removes it upon completion, placing it in a storage area. This solution accelerates production, especially for short print runs, and enables scalable operation with up to 50 3D printers. Combinations with equipment like filament dryers or scanners further enhance end-to-end process efficiency.

What is the Application?

The system automates 3D printing workflows for continuous operation, optimizing processes across various printing types (SLS, FFF, SLA) with minimal manual intervention.

What are the Advantages of the Solution?

• 24/7 Operation: Enables continuous, around-the-clock printing.

• Increased Speed: Eliminates downtime between print jobs.

• Scalability: Supports up to 50 printers for large-scale operations.

What are the Advantages of the Robot?

The automated gantry system provides:

• Reliable Handling: Seamlessly places and retrieves printing plates.

• Integration Flexibility: Adapts to multiple printer types and ancillary equipment.

• Streamlined Tracking: Allows inventory and workflow tracking for efficient management.
