Industrial FFF printers from Dynamical offer numerous advantages:

  1. Up to 500°C melting temperature at the hot end (printer nozzle, Nozzel)

  2. Also prints high-performance materials such as PEEK, PEI, PPSU or PEKK

  3. Use of filaments from different manufacturers possible

  4. High precision of 1.25 µm (Z-axis)

  5. Outstanding printing speed

  6. Up to two print heads simultaneously and four different filaments 

  7. Automated production possible in 24/7 operation

  8. Cooled extruder for continuous operation even at 500°C nozzle temperature

  9. Vacuum fixing of the printer base plate for flexible printing substrates

  10. Printer continues working in last position after fault rectification

  11. UPS installation possible as a backup power supply

Additive manufacturing with 3D printers is particularly strong where conventional manufacturing reaches its limits. 

With the industrial 3D printers from CMC Maschinenbau, high-quality prototypes can be produced in a very short time. No molds, tools or machining centers are required for this. Rapid prototyping speeds up the development process considerably, as changes to the shape of the component can be implemented very quickly. 

As material is only deposited where it is needed, the printers achieve a high level of material efficiency. The high precision of the tool-free production method also minimizes the amount of reworking required. 

For series production, the industrial 3D printers from CMC Maschinenbau are equipped with an actively cooled extruder head, among other things. This means that even high-melting thermoplastics such as PEI can be run in continuous operation without overheating causing disruptions to the filament transport. In this way, very high-quality components can be produced that can withstand extreme mechanical and thermal loads.

Numerous other features ensure trouble-free operation with Dynamical 3D printers. Apart from reloading the filament spools, no further intervention is required. Automatic operation reduces personnel costs and enables "overnight production".
