Xjet计划在下个月的德国法兰克福formnext 2016贸易展上展示其具有突破性的金属3D打印机。新机器采用的是世界上第一款直接金属喷墨系统,该机器可削减先进金属打印所需要的成本和时间。据说这款大幅面XJet打印机能生产出高质量、高细节度的零件,且其打印速度空前地快。分配好粉末和激光后,系统会将一种含有金属纳米粒的液体金属墨水喷射到构建板上,然后再按常规方法一层层地构建对象。构建腔内的高温会使得液体蒸发,留下一个固体金属零件。用这种方法制造出来的零件质量十分好。在 Xjet plans to showcase its breakthrough metal 3D printer at next month’s formnext 2016 trade show in Frankfurt, Germany. The new machine uses the world’s first direct metal inkjet system that cuts the cost and time required for advanced metal printing. This large format XJet printer is said to produce high-quality, high-detail parts that print faster than ever before. After the powder and laser are dispensed, a liquid metal ink containing metal nanoparticles is sprayed onto the build plate and the object is then built up layer by layer using conventional methods. The build-up of high temperatures in the cavity can cause the liquid to evaporate leaving a solid metal part. Parts made in this way are of very good quality. in
