Industrial 3D Printer manufacturer unveils dp polar has announced the released of a new 3D printer. Called AMpolar® i1, the new machine features Xaar printheads and is based on the company’s patented single-pass printing process.
The integration of XAAR printheads in the new 3D printer confirms that the previous collaboration of both companies was satisfying for dp polar and its customers. Furthermore, by combining their respective expertise in this new machine, both companies enable to achieve affordable and repeatable functional inkjet applications.
This time, the Xaar 1003 printheads have been embedded into the machine to enable volume production on an industrial scale.
The combination of speed, reliability, and capacity to jet a variety of fluids at increasingly high viscosities, enables jetting of fluids up to 100 centipoises (cP) in a single pass. Xaar’s Ultra High Viscosity Technology is key to realising this capability, opening access to an exciting range of new applications, a press release reads.
Gareth Neal, Xaar’s Customer Applications Manager, Advanced Applications, Technologies & Fluids explains that “the innovative and agile AMpolar® i1, firmly establishes the use of resin jetting as a truly practical and commercially viable manufacturing process.”
With a build volume of up to 240 litres across a continuously rotating print platform, and a build area of just under one square meter (10.3ft2), the 3D printer can achieve layers of between 4-25µm and resolutions of up to 720 x 720 x 5.000dpi.
Florian Loebermann, dp polar’s Managing Director said: “The AMpolar® i1 delivers all the production benefits of the AMpolar® i2, but at a scale and in a format that facilitates businesses in their early stages of exploring what is possible in mass production 3D printing. Xaar’s printheads have proved invaluable in unlocking the full potential of our systems, and the openness of the Xaar team to support our innovations is helping to establish 3D printing and Additive Mass Manufacturing as a practical reality in the volume production of parts for many industries.”
