Integrated into conventional casting lines, VJET X printers are assumed to be the most powerful additive manufacturing technology for the cost-productive serial-production of complicated sand cores for the casting of metal components.
VJET X printers are 10x faster than previous models, which results in a layering speed of less than 5 seconds.
Inorganic binder system for zero emissions during core printing, storage and when using the sand cores in the casting process.
Integrated into fully automated handling systems for pre- and postprocesses like loading and unloading of the 3D printers; cleaning of the printed parts via robotic systems; transport of sand cores to casting lines.
A new procedure unit is at the heart of VJET X and makes additive mass manufacturing possible. It is a combination of numerous printing and recoating units which move with unparalleled speed (layer time below five seconds). It is considered to be the most complex piece of technology in the additive manufacturing industry. The new technology, to be first commercialized with a premium German car manufacturer and integrated into conventional casting lines, can for example be used in the additive mass manufacturing of complicated water jacket cores in metal casting applications. Water jacket cores are used for the exact temperature management in not only internal combustion engines, but also electric motors, inverters and battery systems. Efficient temperature management improves overall vehicle performance. Together with its industrial partners, voxeljet will present the new VJET X and VX1000-S printers at the GIFA show from 25 to 29 June 2019 in Duesseldorf (Germany).
