EOS’ Formiga P 110 Velocis system further improves productivity in additive manufacturing with plastic materials, ideally suited for entry into the area of industrial 3D printing. The solution is based on the Formiga P 110 system, and thanks to a number of technical improvements it offers increases in productivity of up to 20%, along with more homogeneous part quality.
Formiga P 110 Velocis offers an accelerated heating and re-coating process as well as an improved temperature distribution in the build chamber of the system. The AM solution is equipped with an improved heating system and software control to preheat the polymer material. After first being applied to the construction platform as a thin layer, the material is pre-heated even faster now and after that fused precisely using a laser beam. The platform is then lowered and another layer of powder is applied, and the construction process is repeated until the component is built completely.
As a result of the improvements, the non-productive time is reduced substantially, with outstanding part mechanics. The system is highly reliable and offers users the greatest reproducible part quality. Without requiring tools, the Formiga makes direct use of digital CAD data to produce even delicate polymer parts with the highest surface quality to a maximum construction height of 330 mm. Furthermore, users profit from a broad range of currently 10 polymer materials and the Formiga P 110 Velocis is also very user-friendly thanks to an intuitive user interface.
