Xaar, a developer of printhead for the 3D printing industry, has recently released its latest product: the Xaar Irix, designed todeliveraccurate, reliable and easy printing for coding and marking, product printing, functional fluids and 3D printing applications.
The announcement follows the recent collaboration of the company with several companies to achieve metal 3D printing of multi-materials at scale.
Xaar Irix has been developed based on its predecessor, the Xaar 128, and comes from the ImagineX platform, which sets the roadmap for Xaar’s bulk inkjet innovations and printhead developments.
According to the company, it would enable highly accurate delivery of ink drops, with the combination of individually lasered nozzles and Xaar’s AcuDrp technology helping to calibrate each nozzle and provide excellent drop placement. Uniform drop velocity and volume are also delivered, giving improved image quality at longer print distances and helping provide benefits such as high code recognition for coding and marking applications.
Xaar’s AcuDrp technology also makes a wider operating window possible, offering increased reliability and uptime over a range of operating conditions, with enhanced factory calibration providing more consistent printing across different images and fluids. The simple and robust architecture of the Xaar Irix guarantees reliable printing.
Simple to use and easy to integrate, the Xaar Irix is lightweight and has a compact footprint, making it a popular choice for a wide variety of print engine configurations. In addition, its simple fluid and electrical connections make for easy integration, fast start up and straightforward maintenance.
Designed as a non-disposable technology with a long life for minimal environmental impact, no cartridge replacement is necessary, helping minimise waste and improve the sustainability credentials for Xaar Irix users.
Graham Tweedale, General Manager of Xaar’s printhead business unit said: “We are delighted to be launching the Xaar Irix as the next printhead from our ImagineX platform. “Designed with the user in mind, the Xaar Irix ensures accurate, reliable and easy print for coding and marking, wide format graphics and additive manufacturing applications and provides efficient, effective and impressive results, time after time.”
