Printing specialist XJet Ltd. will focus on its new metal 3D printing technology at the RAPID + TCT trade fair.
The company announces that the XJet Carmel 1400M is the only metal AM technology that uses direct material blasting and offers the advantages of super-fine detail, accuracy and smooth surfaces – supported by soluble carrier material – for every part produced. Also on display will be numerous printed samples of the company’s ceramic materials – zirconia and alumina – the XJet SMART station and interactive technology experiences.
While metal is in the spotlight, XJet’s ceramic solutions will not be left behind either. The world’s first additively manufactured, fully ceramic piston, which was developed together with Spyros Panopoulos Automotive for the Chaos Ultracar, is just one of many application examples that will be on display at the XJet booth. The piston was developed using Spyros Panopoulos’ Andiaplasi technique – material is removed where it’s not needed and reinforced where it’s useful – to enable the Ultracar’s 3,000hp specification. XJet’s NanoParticle Jetting technology is the only solution that allows this piston to be made of ceramic (aluminum oxide).
