- Platform system includes novel printer technology and advanced materials systems
- Printing speeds three times faster with greater precision than current standard industrial systems
- High temperature materials capability
"By introducing our High Speed Fusion filament printer, 3D Systems will build on the organizational focus that we adopted in 2020, and expand our presence in growing markets that demand high reliability products such as aerospace and automotive," said Dr.
Existing industrial fused filament printers have often been constrained by high costs of production and low throughput. In recognizing these constraints, Jabil and 3D Systems application and industry experts are applying their combined knowledge to bring to market a robust solution that meets the day-to-day requirements of the most demanding industries. Specific applications include:
- Direct Printing: aerospace interiors and ducting, drone components, automotive under dash and under hood, and other general industrial applications.
- Tooling & Fixtures: manufacturing aids, automation and robotics tooling, lift assist tooling, as well as molds and sacrificial tools.
- Prototyping Parts: automotive, aerospace, medical, heavy equipment, and general industry support.
3D Systems estimates the current marketplace for these types of industrial solutions is greater than
- Highest deposition rates combined with the best dimensional precision of any standard industrial class of fused filament platform.
- Lowest landed part cost without sacrificing part quality.
- Capability to process high-performance, high-temp materials, like ULTEM and PA CF with a broad range of general-purpose filaments like ABS and PETg ESD.
"We are proud of the progress the Jabil and 3D Systems teams have made and the ability of this solution to overcome the historical system and sub-system level limitations of current market offerings," said
Application engineering and materials development on the new platform has been underway for more than a year and will continue during 2021, with shipments of the Roadrunnersystem to begin in 2022.
