Welcome to the 2023 TCT Buyers Guide.

Whether it’s end-use components in automotive, manufacturing aids on consumer-facing production lines, or medical models in life changing healthcare applications, it isn’t such a stretch to say there isn’t an industry that additive manufacturing hasn’t touched in some way.

Since you’re holding a copy of or digitally scrolling through this year’s Buyers Guide, you’re probably wondering how the technology fits into yours.

Since the pandemic, widespread industry challenges around supply chain constraints and sustainability demands have turned the spotlight onto AM in new ways. Perhaps that‘s why you’re here? What could have easily been shrugged off as another so-called hype curve has transpired into continued adoption and developments across the AM gamut as the technology has proven itself as a viable, and oftentimes unique, solution to such challenges.

But choosing the right technology for your application is vital, and more than ever, businesses are being more cautious about where to place their capital expenditure. If you decide to invest in a new technology, you want to maximise its potential –dormant machines do nothing for a business, nor this industry’s street cred!

And despite what past mainstream marketing may have once told you, there is no one size fits all solution. Sorry!

The good news is, you’ve come to the right place to find one that suits your application. Whether you’re looking for information on build volumes, material capabilities or print speeds, the TCT Buyers Guide provides you with a simple, digestible guide to the additive manufacturing options available on the market today.

Whether you’re evaluating how AM might fit into your business, actively adopting for a specific application, or optimising your capacity with the addition of new hardware, the TCT Buyers Guide is where you’ll find the information you need to make the right purchasing decisions and get started.

9T Labs, a spin-off of ETH Zürich, was founded in 2018. The company has created a new way of building composite parts, one that combines 3D printing technique and filament with continuous carbon fiber reinforcement and compression molding to create strong, light components. The multi-step method delivers parts that can be both cheaper and less wasteful than either conventional composite or machined parts, with less porosity and more repeatability than other continuous carbon fiber 3D printing solutions can provide. The AFT solution is targeting serial part manufacturing for yearly volumes between 1‘000 and 100‘000 parts.

9T Labs’ Red Series system consists of its Fibrify software and two different machines, the Build module and the Fusion module. The Build module is essentially a 3D printer with two filament guides to place thermoplastic filament (to date, bio-based PA, PA12, PPS, PEKK, and PEEK) alongside continuous fiber-reinforced filament (to date, glass, basalt, carbon). The platform is open source, and customers are free to use whatever filament they wish with some adjustment to print parameters. 9T Labs sources continuous fiber tape and has it split into 1-mm - 4-mm widths and respooled; this flat tape is fed into the Build module. The

printhead itself features two material deposition guides to selectively apply the thermoplastic and continuous fiber filament. Importantly, the reinforced filament need not follow the same path as the neat plastic; instead, this capability can be turned on and off as needed. The Fibrify software provides user-adjustable intelligent fiber layup suggestions and integrates with commercially available FEA simulation packages such as ANSYS to verify and optimize these patterns. Out of the printer, the parts’ voids and dimensional accuracy preclude them from most of the high-performance production applications 9T Labs is truly after. To achieve their final density and dimensions, these “preform” parts go through a compression molding step in the Fusion module, capable of reaching temperatures up to 400°C and active pressure regulation of greater than 20 bar.

This step uses a mold tool unique to the part — typically machined aluminum for a short-run job, or stainless steel for higher volumes — to compress the printed layers and fiber together, resulting in a low-porosity, dense and strong final composite piece. Parts are said to achieve less than 1% void content through the Fusion process. As an added benefit, bushings, bearings and other inserts can be added to parts during compression molding and secured into place during this step, reducing assembly on the other side. The process also allows multiple sub-parts to be assembled and fused into one part with a complex fiber orientation as well as preform reshaping.

Post Processing, redefined.

Addiblast® product line by FerroECOBlast® Europe presents the most advanced postprocessing solutions for the additive manufacturing industry, combining 3 key post processing solutions within the same product line: de-powdering, powder recovery & conditioning and surface treatment of 3D-printed parts. Addiblast® line is compatible to post process all main brands of 3D printers existing on the market.

MARS01 is designed for manual de-powdering. The base plate with the 3D parts attached is loaded into the workspace on the hand-held rotating table on which the operator has the option of removing the powder with compressed air. The workspace is airtight and prevents any leakage of the powder. It is equipped with openings and built-in gloves, allowing the operator to clean and remove support structures in a controlled environment. Powder can be collected in the bin bellow or connected to the powder extraction unit for reuse.

MARS02 is designed for automatic plastic powder removal together with surface finishing of complete printed batches. User loads complete batch into the rotating drum, which is located inside the workspace. Blasting and removing the powder is carried out by a process stored in the PLC unit.

MARS03 is designed for a fully automated metal powder removal process for extremely complex metal structures. The whole system is explosion-proof and fully complies with the ATEX Directive, so the treatment of titanium and aluminum powder is not a problem, as the system can produce and maintain a controlled inert atmosphere, keeping oxygen levels below 2%. Fully programmable recipes for rotation movements in X and Z directions along with vibration enables collection of non-sintered metal powders. For the safe loading of heavier jobs, stations are equipped with a unique automatic top lifting door, which allows easy and safe manipulation.

BAM blasting cabinets are suitable for various manual processes such as surface smoothing, roughing, unifying and removing of excess sintered powder. Cabinets can be used also for removing support structures and precise removal of powder from extremely complex structures and internal cavitites. It is made of stainless steel and is suitable for all types of shot blasting media. It consists of both injection-suction and pressure blasting systems, giving users extreme flexibility.

STAR02 is designed as a central station that continuously and automatically provides pneumatic transfer, recycling, and conditioning of powder from various sources. It provides a direct connection to the 3D-printer, de-powdering station (MARS03), and can also be used to purify the virgin powder before it is used in the 3D-printer. Powder recovery and conditioning provide significant improvements for serial additive manufacturing production.

OPEN UP NEW ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING APPLICATIONS

The German family-owned company ARBURG is one of the world‘s leading manufacturers of plastic processing machines. ARBURGadditive was founded in 2021 in order to bundle together activities in the additive manufacturing area. The product portfolio comprises the freeformers from ARBURG and the 3D-printers from innovatiQ, an ARBURG family member.

The freeformer using ARBURG Plastic Freeforming (APF) is an open system, which operates on the basis of standard granulates. The APF process opens up completely new applications.

It enables the processing of three components to produce resilient and complex functional parts in a hard/soft combination. This is unique to date within the industry. A new addition to the range is the freeformer 750-3X, whose part carrier of 750 cm² is around 2.5 times larger than that of the freeformer 300-3X.

The APF process is suitable for the additive manufacturing of prototypes and industrial functional components in particular. With the

freeformer 200-3X for two components and the freeformer 300-3X and freeformer 750-3X for three components, ARBURG covers a wide range of applications. Custom-made plastic parts for consumer goods, medical implants and spare parts made from the original material are only three of the many areas for which the freeformer is predestined.

The open system offers great geometric and material freedom. Users can apply their own original materials and optimise droplet size as well as process regulation. The ARBURG material database documents qualified standard granulates such as ABS (Terluran GP 35), PA10 (Grilamid TR XE 4010), PC (Makrolon 2805), TPE-U (Elastollan C78 A15), Ultem and PP (Braskem CP 393) as well as special plastics for

particular applications such as a PC approved for aerospace use (Lexan 940). The range of qualified materials is continuously being expanded.

The freeformers are in great demand for applications in medical technology, including for use within the human body. They are suitable for additive manufacturing of individual orthotics, implants made from original biocompatible material and models for surgical preparation. The system can process for example medical PLLA (Purasorb PL18), very soft TPE (Medalist MD 12130H) or Resomer LR 706 that imitates human bone to produce implants.

In the ARBURG Prototyping Center (APC) at the German headquarters in Lossburg, several freeformers produce benchmark parts for prospective customers. Further machines are used for the same purpose at the company‘s subsidiaries throughout the world. Preliminary trials can be conducted to determine whether the freeformer is actually suitable for the desired part, material and application.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING BY DMG MORI

END-TO-END PROCESS KNOWLEDGEPROCESS UNDERSTANDING FROM THE DRAWING TO THE FINISHED PART

As a global full-liner with over 20 years of experience in the ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING of metal parts, DMG MORI represents innovative manufacturing technologies and a worldwide service. With powder bed and powder nozzle technology, DMG MORI combines the two most important processes under one roof and in addition offer a comprehensive portfolio of CNC machines for post-processing of additively manufactured components from a single source. The portfolio consists of the LASERTEC SLM models and the LASERTEC DED series and thus enables four complete process chains for additive manufacturing using powder nozzle or powder bed technologies.

The Directed Energy Deposition (DED) with the powder nozzle is characterized by a very high build-up rate. The LASERTEC DED / DED hybrid machines are therefore particularly suitable for components with large volumes. The flexible change between laser and milling / turning machining enables the direct machining of component segments and the integration of the complete production chain in one machine. A twin powder feeder allows multi-material applications and also graded materials.

The Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process is particularly suitable for highly complex components with functional integration or internal structures such as cooling channels. Lightweight structures also enable parts and assemblies to be significantly reduced in weight. The integral software solution for CAM programming and machine control CELOS rounds off the process chains for the LASERTEC DED and LASERTEC SLM series.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING CONSULTING

With its consulting approach, the DMG MORI Academy pursues the goal of supporting companies in developing the required design know-how and establishing the process chains around the LASERTEC DED and LASERTEC SLM series. The consulting portfolio includes services along the entire process chain of additive manufacturing, including the AM Quickcheck as a perfect entry point for exploiting these potentials. In a two-day workshop, experienced DMG MORI engineers support companies in the industry-specific and needs-based introduction of the technology.

ABOUT DMG MORI

EOS INDUSTRIAL 3D PRINTING: A DRIVER FOR DIGITAL, RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING

EOS is the world’s leading technology supplier in the field of industrial 3D printing of metals and polymers, with a focus on responsible and sustainable manufacturing. Connecting high quality production efficiency with its pioneering innovation and sustainable practices, the independent company formed in 1989 is shaping the future of manufacturing through its innovative and comprehensive solutions. Its product portfolio of EOS systems, materials, and process parameters gives customers a crucial competitive advantage in terms of product quality and the long-term economic sustainability of their manufacturing processes. Supported by its broader ecosystem, EOS facilitates customized manufacturing solutions across the entire value chain – from the initial idea to design and engineering, production, post-processing and ultimately the finished part.

Today, industrial production is in the throes of a fundamental change. EOS is certain the future belongs to digital manufacturing, with industrial 3D Printing being one of the key drivers. At the same time, additive manufacturing can play an important role in overcoming the limitations of current manufacturing techniques that are restrictive, wasteful, and inefficient. EOS is leading the way in AM techniques such as metal support-free part printing and creating production workflows that enable easy integration with existing production lines, while accelerating the part design process.

As a market leader, EOS wants to lead by example on sustainability. This has for a long time been part of its company DNA, with a strong focus on customers and their applications. EOS nurtures an ecosystem, actively engages its community, and network, and empowers its people to strive for results that increase energy efficiency, reduce

waste, and use resources conscientiously at every step of the process. All with the very clear intention of establishing Responsible Manufacturing as the ‘new normal’ – and to support customers in achieving their own sustainability goals.

EOS, its customer YOU MAWO, and Fraunhofer EMI partnered up for a comparative lifecycle analysis. The result: eyewear 3D printed on EOS technology shows up to 58 percent lower carbon footprint than conventional eyewear. As the technology enables the design and manufacturing of highly individualized eyewear, it also helps to avoid overproduction, minimizes supply chains, and enables on demand production where it’s needed.

100% Support-free 3D printing: This metal printed Titanium (Ti64) hip replacement exceeding neck fatigue testing ISO 72606 was produced on an EOS M 300-4 and EOS M 290 and integrated into a traditional production workflow. By shifting to supportfree 3D printing, the AM process was improved economically and environmentally. Not needing to construct supports during the build means less of the material in the powder bed will be melted, which cuts down production time and saves post-processing resources. This results in a lower level of material waste and reduced energy expenditure.

AMCM, an EOS company that provides customized machines, enables new levels of part performance. Customers like ThyssenKrupp can produce highly efficient copper components thanks to the AMCM M 290 system with 1 kW infrared fiber laser. The new inductor design generates an optimized magnetic field, which leads to a more efficient process. The cost saving is an impressive 60% when the inductor is manufactured using the additive process. The inductor has 2.5 times longer service life and, in addition, the power consumption during the heating process can be reduced by 50%.

For EDGE, we’ve updated the ‘F-Series Platform’ with upgraded motion control components, including all-new linear rails, Gates 2GT2 belts, and specially tuned stepper motors. Through these changes, Fusion3’s EDGE 3D printer has attained even faster speeds at standard print settings with tremendous improvements in print quality and enabled unique features such as a new “Fast” 3d printing mode for printing certain materials at 200MM/sec using a .4MM print head.

Fusion3’s patent-pending ANVIL print head system combines precision-milled print head components with an inexpensive surgical steel print tube in place of the traditional screw-in 3D printer nozzle.

The ANVIL print head, which heats up to 320°C, utilizes precision milled components, a highquality, high-temperature heater cartridge, and a PT-1000 temperature sensor.

The use of a single, interchangeable, surgical steel print tube, enables faster 3D printing and is wear-resistant for use with abrasive filaments such as carbon fiber or fiberglass-reinforced filament.

The print tubes come in .4MM, .6MM and .8MM sizes and are easy to swap out, or customers may decide to purchase extra ANVIL print heads and swap print heads out on the carriage.

The single tube design is more reliable, eliminating the chance of leakage found in a traditional screw-in nozzle print head, and inexpensive and easy to replace, translating to lower operating costs.

EDGE will build massive parts, quickly with its total build area of 14.5″ x 14.5″ x 13.5″ (1.64 cu ft). Passively heated from the multizone print bed (max temp 145*C) and print head (max temp 320*C) , the enclosure heats up to 70*C.

This heated build area ensures excellent print results when printing high-temperature, engineering-grade materials such as ABS and Polycarbonate.

New control systems are powered by a dedicated 64-Bit ARM processor, separate from the 3D printer’s control board. Powering a 7″ touch screen, more useful information and robust remote management tools, including maintenance reminders are available to the operator.

Fusion3’s rigorous material testing and certification process ensure that our customers can print the widest range of materials purchased from a variety of quality suppliers. Using the ¼” aluminum tool plate print bed with glass print surface (standard), our customers can print materials from all major categories including (but not limited to): PLA, ABS, ASA, Reinforced Materials including Carbon Fiber, Kevlar, and Fiberglass, Flexible, Nylons, PET/ PETG and Polycarbonate.

With the addition of an optional magnetic tool plate and various optional magnetic print surfaces, customers can now print new materials, including Polypropylene, PVDF, and 316L Stainless Steel. Fusion3 provides customers with optimized settings for these materials within our bundled REACTOR 3D printing software, ensuring certified materials print successfully “out of the box.”

Oryx, a trusted additive manufacturer providing patented 3D finishing solutions for over 10 years with over 16,000 equipment units out in circulation, takes pride in its devotion to providing customers with trusted solutions that encompass high product reliability, factual product testing data, and exceptional customer service. Notable product families such as the sca product line help to define this company as a leader within the AM Finishing industry, proving their constant pursuit of achieving the full potential of additive manufacturing. Removing support materials is a significant part of finishing, but there’s often more work that needs to be done before a print can be finalized. Using its accumulated 3D printing experience, Oryx Additive specializes in helping manufacturers streamline this process, and ensure the maximization of quality and throughput of their final prints.

In removing support for FDM/FFF and Material Jetting processes, such as Polyjet or Extrusion Technology, the sca product family provides a wide range of predefined machine settings and is fully compatible with all soluble support material concentrates, from water to caustics. It further provides the user with the appropriate level of agitation to balance the needs of heavy removal while maintaining critical dimensions on delicate or intricate part geometry.

We listened to our customers, understood the needs for industrial additive manufacturing and found that current technology limits the ability to maximize support removal, and with this, src1 was born. CEO Keith Jeffcoat

Src1 is a chemical cleaning agent capable of quickly removing support material from multiple 3D printed models with speed and efficiency. The no mess cleaning agent quickly dissolves and cleans SR30 support material from FDM modeled surfaces. When paired with the sca line or other wash tanks, the prepackaged amount represents a dissolution speed of 2X the leading competing cleaning agent.

Rapidia, based in Vancouver, Canada, produces metal 3D printing systems for rapid prototyping and demanding end-use applications.

Recognizing the limitations of existing metal AM systems - speed, price, part design constraints, operator safety - founder Dan Gelbart saw an opportunity to build on the significant recent advances in metal 3D printing technology with an entirely new process. The result was the development of Rapidia’s unique and revolutionary water-based system.

This system has several advantages over competing bound metal offerings. Parts go straight from the printer to the sintering furnace, eliminating the lengthy thermal or solvent debinding process, which can take upwards of 50 hours. This allows customers to start printing a part one day and have it ready the next. Loose metal powder hazards usually associated with metal 3D printing are eliminated, as are the solvents normally required for debinding.

Rapidia’s process also enables users to bond ‘green’ (unsintered) parts together by simply using a small amount of water to stick them together. This is useful for creating assemblies which would require extensive support or otherwise be impossible to print. When sintered, the bond is indistinguishable from the inherent layers.

Parts can be produced with any percentage infill for lightweighting, or completely solid when maximum strength is required, without a maximum wall thickness. Rapidia’s proprietary evaporative support technology allows users to create the most complex parts. Choose between automatically generated polymer supports which evaporate during sintering, or hand-removable metal structures when sintering support is required to prevent sagging.

Rapidia’s new, next-gen furnace uses advanced materials to offers partial pressure vacuum sintering in an unrivaled small and affordable package. The system is able to achieve excellent metallurgy in an argon atmosphere with low gas consumption and short cycle times.

From prototyping to final product, Rapidia offers the fastest, simplest, and most versatile bound metal AM system.

MAKE METAL PARTS ANYWHERE.

Manufacturing in metal is traditionally very complex, expensive, and inflexible and this contributes to supply chain issues when sourcing metal parts. These supply chain issues have been exacerbated globally by recent events. The world, now more than ever, needs elegant, simple, clean, flexible & reliable metal manufacturing solutions.

SPEE3D are here to help solve these issues with metal printers that enable the most affordable additive manufacturing process in the world. SPEE3D’s 3D metal printers make metal parts

the fastest way possible, leveraging cold spray technology for the production of industrial quality metal parts in just minutes, rather than days or weeks, at production costs. Rather than using heat to melt metal powders, SPEE3D developed ‘Supersonic 3D Deposition’. This is the name given to the patented process in which a rocket nozzle accelerates air up to three times the speed of sound, into which metal powder is injected then deposited onto a substrate maneuvered by a six-axis robotic arm. In this process the sheer kinetic energy of the particles hitting each other causes the powders to bind together to form a high density part with metallurgical properties superior to casting.

SPEE3D technology suits the production of parts otherwise produced using sand or die casting with the added benefits of flexibility and the ability to produce parts on-demand at the point of need.

www.spee3d.com

SPEE3D produces expeditionary metal manufacturing equipment, which has been field tested and proven to be robust enough to be deployed by the Australian Army, who have used SPEE3D technology in several world-leading metal 3D printing field trials since 2020. SPEE3D technology has also been trialled by other defence forces including the Royal Australian Navy, and the US Navy. Most recently, during REPTX as part of ANTX-Coastal Trident 2022, SPEE3D’s WarpSPEE3D was the first in the world to successfully metal 3D print military maritime parts, in several different materials, on a US Navy ship. Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, SPEE3D is committed to helping manufacturers print their parts, their way, when they need them.

THE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING LEADER

During the last two years Stratasys has added an additional three 3D Printing technologies to its portfolio, bringing the widest range of polymer materials and application possibilities to industry.

As well as producing PolyJet and FDM 3D printers, Stratasys has added stereolithography, a digital light processing (DLP) technology called P3 or Programmable PhotoPolymerization, as well as a powder bed process called SAF or Selection Absorption Fusion to its range of 3D printing capabilities.

STEREOLITHOGRAPHY

The addition of stereolithography allows prototypes, tooling and master patterns with the state-of-the-art Neo range.

The reliable and proven Neo prints high-quality parts with superior surface quality, accuracy and detail. It also delivers a reduction in finishing time by up to 50%. An open material system means users are able to access and utilise any commercially available 355nm hybrid resin chemistry.

POLYJET

PolyJet is still largely used by designers for early-stage form, fit and function prototypes to validate early-stage concepts in high fidelity. PolyJet models enable true multi-material (from rigid to rubber) printing in full colour. Stratasys has also recently added the ability to print directly on to fabric, enabling fashion designers to exploit the freedom of additive technologies.

FDM

There has been a real shift by manufacturers in the last few years with jigs, fixtures, tooling and end-use parts all widely being produced on FDM 3D printers. FDM offers a huge range of real thermoplastics with ESD, chemical resistance, biocompatibility, low FST and importantly key certifications for use in many industries including aerospace, automotive, rail and defence.

PROGRAMMABLE PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION (P3)

P3 technology is transformative, as it enables functional end-use parts to be produced in a range of high-performance materials. It allows the industry-leading repeatability, accuracy, consistency, detail and throughput, from biocompatible medical devices to aerospace-grade components and everything in between.

www.stratasys.com

The amazing accuracy and surface finish is second to none, and enables a wide range of applications from injection mould tooling to enduse production parts. Origin One’s P3 technology utilises computer vision and 25+ environmental sensors to monitor and respond to every important aspect of the print process.

SELECTIVE ABSORPTION FUSION (SAF)

SAF technology is behind the H350 3D printer, designed for production-level throughput of end-use parts. SAF uses powder-based additive manufacturing to achieve accurate, consistent production at competitive part costs.

SAF technology uses an infrared-sensitive HAF (High Absorbing Fluid) to fuse particles of polymer powder together in discreet layers to build parts. It uses Big Wave™ powder management, a proprietary technology that includes powder distribution across a bed, where industrial-grade Piezo-electric print heads jet the fluid in prescribed areas to create each layer of the part.

The high yield PA 11 is a rugged highperformance polymer that is a 100% bio-based, derived from sustainably produced castor oil.

WHY STRATASYS?

No other 3D Printer manufacturer can match the end-to-end capabilities of Stratasys machines, with software that enables easy integration with your chosen CAD program, automatic drag and drop file preparation, tick box part build options and easy multi departments / site access to printers with upfront part build cost and print time information.
