Are you looking to increase the process reliability and productivity of your machines for industrial 3D printing? We are your automation partner for all production methods and phases of additive manufacturing, from moving the print head with repeat accuracy to precise gas handling and automated loading and unloading. Our components, modules, ready-to-install solutions and complete systems can be easily and flexibly integrated into your existing technologies. Make the most of the potential of additive manufacturing by choosing us as your partner.
In all additive manufacturing processes, be it fused deposition modelling with plastic or selective laser printing with metal, moving e.g. the print head precisely and with repeat accuracy is the basis for consistently high production quality and efficiency. Automating the loading and unloading processes is another stepping stone to increase your productivity.
Our versatile motion solutions for print heads and laser heads are easy to install and reliably ensure that your additive manufacturing processes consistently produce perfect parts. The sturdy and very rigid axes are extremely accurate. Our advanced closed-loop servo systems detect, correct and prevent errors in real time during the printing process.
Especially when production volumes for 3D printing are high, it is worthwhile to automatically feed in and remove the printing materials and components. This makes the entire process faster and more efficient. And direct contact with substances that are hazardous to health can be avoided at the same time. We offer complete pick-and-place solutions with seamless connectivity to many PLCs.
With our online engineering tools, you can design your motion solutions for additive manufacturing technologies easily and reliably. Diagrams and drawings are checked and calculated based on the specifications that you enter. You select the most economical components for your requirements. That way, you reduce possible sources of error, speed up assembly time and lower the risk of unexpected failures. Another advantage is that you can order your configuration straightaway.
Festo components are a perfect match for the modular system from Bond 3D. The machines for 3D printing of plastics are assembled using different modules and segments, depending on the requirements. With our products such as valves, valve terminals, cylinders, ball screw axes, motors and controllers, this is very easy. Watch the video to find out more:
The gas atmosphere and temperature are factors that have an important effect on all additive production methods. Protective gases also play a decisive role in the production and quality of components in additive manufacturing processes using metal. We have built up considerable expertise with gas handling and can provide you with products that are suitable for the special requirements of your additive technologies.
Our solutions with their closed-loop systems and low leakage enable construction chambers to be quickly filled with gas in various flow rate ranges. The laminar flow reduces melt particles and smoke residue, thus forming the basis for a high-quality component. We offer valves and systems tailored to your application, from switched, closed- or open-loop controlled valves, simple directional control valves and dynamic proportional-pressure regulators to intelligent valve terminals for centrally controlling the gas flow.
如果您使用直接能量沉积 (DED) 或激光金属沉积 (LMD) 工艺，那么对所需的保护性气体进行高精度调节无疑是一大挑战。只有这样才能避免不必要的气体消耗。我们为您提供两种解决方案：使用比例流量调节阀 VEMD 进行流量控制，或者使用比例压力调节阀 VEAA 和 VEAB 进行压力控制。这三种阀兼具高精度、高动态响应和使用寿命长等优点。
“我们的目标是成为选择性激光熔融技术领域的领导者。因此，我们需要强大的合作伙伴。
例如，通过与 Festo 合作，我们可以在非常严格的公差范围内调节过程气体环境，也就是压力和含氧量。这可以让客户直接受益，因为过程气体环境对元件的质量有很大的影响。
我们之所以决定跟 Festo 合作，是因为我们与 Festo 已经建立了彼此信任的关系，而且他们供应的元件品质卓越。”
