Farsoon printer handles demanding applications

HT601P-2 This carbon dioxide-based, large-format selective-laser-sintering (SLS) 3D printer from China-based Farsoon Technologies can print large-scale components or perform high-density batch production of smaller parts. It is capable of continuous, industrial production of parts from powdered materials using polymer powder bed fusion (PBF), and is appropriate for use by demanding sectors such as aerospace, automotive and consumer goods. Designed to process high-performance polymers, including polyamide-6 (PA6), PA11, PA12, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), theHT601P-2 has a multi-zone thermal control system that maintains a uniform temperature within 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit of the set point. It boasts advanced process control and has centralized powder handling, automated build cylinder transfer, controlled part cooling, efficient part breakout and an interchangeable build cartridge for continuous production. To enable integration among multiple HT601P-2 units, the printers have an advanced powder management system that enables simultaneous powder recycling, mixing and sieving. As an option, for real-time process documentation and quality validation, users can integrate infrared cameras.

What’s new? The printer, which Farsoon Technologies launched in November at Formnext in Germany. 

Benefits Stable, efficient production of high-quality parts. The printer is compact and, with its integrated systems, it is designed for high efficiency, even with limited operator interaction.
