Our printers have a metal hot end design which heats up to 300°C. Therefore, a wide range of filaments can be used for printing from PLA to ABS.

Industrial materials such as such as PETG, ePA (Nylon), Carbon, ABS, TPE, HIPS and other special filaments eg. PGA can be used to print with our Flow Generation printers.

These materials are offered for various uses including prototyping, small batch manufacturing, tooling for injection moulding and creating dental retainers or prosthetics.

We offer full enclosure for all the 3D printers: PET-G dome with a safety lockable door.

The PET-G dome and the glass doors increase the safety level of your Flow Generation printer and supports the efficient use of the range of the printable material. It can provide additional inside heating for industrial material that require a hotter environment.

It also reduces heating time and helps maintain constant temperature inside the printer for softer filaments such as TPU.

The enclosure is equipped with a fan and a HEPA filter that reduces emissions significantly.

WHY ARE VARIOUS INDUSTRIES ADOPTING THE USE OF 3D PRINTERS?

More industries are adopting Additive Manufacturing and acquiring 3D printing units. It not only offers the potential to create something through an entirely unique process, but it also has the capability to render some production lines much more efficient and replace them to a high degree. 3D printing has opened up new opportunities for production, factory maintenance and R&D, since 3D printers and their associated parts have become readily available in the market place.

3D PRINTING IN R&D

Research and development departments require prototypes, often times with several iterations. In a typical setup, prototypes are handcrafted or made from molds, which takes up a significant time of the designer’s precious schedule. Using 3D printed prototypes, designers are able to save both time and money through designing, modifying a part digitally and have it available in its 3D form within a sort period of time.

COST CALCULATION REDEFINED

3D printing undoubtedly impacts the material and production cost in a production environment. However, in a large scale manufacturing setup, we are seeing an industry that has migrated aggressively to 3D printing to hit the break even point significantly quicker than integrating other technologies or improving the process.

CREATIVE WAY OF GETTING MORE DONE

The entry point of a Craftbot 3D printer is relatively small capital expenditure that opens the door to easily and efficiently make prototypes to take more risk and allow for trial and error.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

The known manufacturing process is mostly a subtractive process, where the raw material gets wasted and reused over and over again. On the other hand, 3D printing is a very precise manufacturing process that can reducewaste, as well as processing time and required equipment.

3D PRINTING REDUCES THE RISK ON THE SUPPLY CHAIN

3D printing has a huge impact on inventory and logistics as it facilitates demand printing and simplifies the supply chain down to its simplest parts. It also adds new efficiencies to the system, thus reducing dependance on external companies to provide components into the supply chain.

TRADITIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN

Products are mass produced (e,g. in China) Manufactured goods are ‘pushed out’ and distributed through warehouse network Long lead time High transport costs High carbon footprint

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING MODEL

Customised production ‘Pulled’ by end customer demand Shorter lead time Lower transport costs Lower carbon footprint Locally printed and distributed

3D PRINTING VS TRADITIONAL MANUFACTURING

3D printing saves on energy and waste as it eliminates shipping and other logistics activities and enables users to manufacture with less unnecessary materials.

3D PRINTING BENEFITS THE ENVIRONMENT

The known manufacturing process is mostly a subtractive process, where the raw material gets wasted and reused over and over again. Most of the countries in the world now have very bold and strict environmental laws for industry to protect the environment. As 3D printing is a very precise manufacturing process, it can actively contribute to lesser carbon emission. Moreover, some 3D printers can actually use recycled wood, reducing the environmental effect of what little waste does occur.

Craftbot offers an impactful production solution that contributes to a versatile manufacturing environment

The Flow Generation offers the volume needed and the IDEX system to meet the needs of various applications. The innovative independent dual extrusion, IDEX printers have an optimized size that fits into any print farm or industry factory. They are able to 3D print with multiple material at once, including soluble support material that opens up design possibilities beyond what a single head extrusion printer can provide. Our Craftbot portfolio includes two IDEX machines, the Flow IDEX and the Flow IDEX XL, which are one of the largest IDEX printers currently available on the market.
