Created 3D-printer for continuous printing conveyor method

The main advantage of Korean startup OpenCreators in – line three-dimensional printing, which in theory will allow almost continuous production of goods, by analogy with the lines in large factories. With this model 3D printer with two mechanisms: automatic feed new workpieces and control the printing position of the platform in space.

The production process of 3D printing looks like: in the working area of the printer stack with consumables supplied with clean glass plate and placed on the lift at the top. She gradually lowered while the printing head forms layer by layer, and when it reaches the bottom point and end of the work travels to a remote tape. There is a product on the plate completely solidifies in the company of copies – how many glass plates were loaded, so the printer and print. And it is possible to enclose new.

A special pride of the developers is a sensor module 360 SLP controlling the displacement of the platform in space, the vibration from the noise of the engines, the size of the gap between the product and head and etc. printing Speed offspring OpenCreators not different from other 3D printers, but it is not necessary to look and often to change consumables, the machine is designed to work in almost industrial scale.

The size of nozzle range from 0.25 to 0.8 mm, layer resolution ranges from 50 to 1000 microns, the printing speed from 10 to 150 mm / sec. The maximum size of products 210×210×250 mm, and in order to create a particularly elaborate design, the system generates temporary supports of easily soluble material. It is served from the second working head in the printing process and after it dissolves in water.

The cost of a 3D printer OpenCreators in the collection phase of the investment is $2899, the launch of production scheduled for September this year.
