New XYZprinting at IMTS 2018: 3D Printers and Robots
At the international exhibition of industrial technologies IMTS 2018 in Chicago, XYZPrinting showed in action the latest 3D-equipment of its own production: the PartPro350 xBC printer, using the Binder Jetting technology, the MfgPro230 xS SLS printer and the MfgPro 180 xPf and ultrafast printing devices .
At the heart of the PartPro350 xBC full-color 3D printer is Binder Jetting technology, which is a layer-by-layer bonding of composite powder with a binder.
Compatible operating systems: Windows 7 /8.1 / 10 (64bits)
Full production cycle, vertical printing speed, reaching 18 millimeters per hour, removable tray for finished products, low cost of consumables - all this makes the device a serious tool with high performance, which will help to make full-color 3D printing cost-effective.
The cost of a PartPro350 xBC 3D printer in the United States is from 30 thousand dollars.
The company Top 3D Shop, the official representative of XYZPrinting in Russia, plans to begin selling new items next year.
Specialization: aerospace industry, automotive industry
Layer thickness from: 100 microns (0.1 mm)
Supported materials: PA (including flexible, composite, painted and high temperature), TPU, PMMA
Print speed: 1 l / h
Compatible operating systems: Win7 / Win8 / Win10
The XYZprinting MfgPro230 xS SLS printer is already a monochrome SLS printer for printing with polyamides with a model building speed reaching 1 liter per hour. The developer promises high repeatability and quality commensurate with the capabilities of 3D equipment from EOS and 3D Systems.
With an adequate price - from 60 thousand dollars, the device shows excellent printing results.
At the heart of the MfgPro models of the xPF series is the latest LSPc printing technology, an analog of the well-known CLIP technology from Carbon 3D. Lubricant Sublayer Photocuring was developed in the walls of California Nexa3D. At the moment, two companies have joined forces to promote technology and devices based on it on the market.
In the commercial of these ultra-high-speed printers, it says: "40 times faster, 2 times more precisely, 5 times cheaper." The printing speed of such devices reaches 1 centimeter per minute.
3D printers MfgPro180 and MfgPro 220 xPF will be used everywhere where high-speed manufacturing of custom parts is required, small series of which are unprofitable to produce in traditional ways, and this is a lot of different industries - from restoration works and jewelry, to the automotive industry and aerospace research. The cost of these devices starts from 20 thousand dollars.
In addition to 3D equipment, XYZprinting is developing its own line of robots under the brand AI N.ERA Robotics.
AI N.ERA Robotics
At the exhibition in Chicago, the company introduced two models of mobile robots with an integrated navigation system.
C01
Specifications
Voice interface system
Face Recognition and Mimicry
15 ”touchscreen tablet
Card readers and scanners: NFC, Smart (with chip), MSR (with magnetic stripe), OCR (character recognition), barcode scanner
Built-in thermal printer (as in cash registers and reference terminals)
15 "rear information panel
The robot assistant C01 can be used in education - as a visual aid, at exhibitions, in shops, restaurants and cinemas, in hotels, hospitals and banks - as a device for telepresentation, consultant, guide and even the seller.
The built-in interfaces and software allow it not only to see the surrounding space and navigate it, but also to recognize people's faces, respond to requests and interact - the robot has built-in NFC device, a reader of smart cards and magnetic stripe cards, a printer, a barcode scanner, 3D -Camera and, of course, a fifteen-inch tablet as a terminal on the front side, plus an information screen at the back.
C01 synchronizes with cloud services and independently analyzes the collected data.
In addition, the robot can patrol deserted buildings at night and signal the presence of strangers.
No less interesting is the model M01 - the universal robot transporter.
M01
Specifications
Load capacity: up to 100 kg (optional, can be increased)
Navigation: LiDAR, UZ-range finder (7 pcs), IR sensors (2 pcs)
Self-installing updates from the “cloud”
Battery Capacity: 34.8 Ah
Work time: 8 ~ 10 hours
Charging time: 4 ~ 6 hours
Voltage and battery type: 25.9 V, 7S12P Li-ion
Max. speed: 2 m / s
Drive: 2 driving wheels
Turning radius: 0
Temperature conditions of work: 0 ~ + 45 °
Size: W 520 x D 580 x H 355 mm

M01 is able to move loads weighing up to 100 kilograms. It is equipped with a lidar (laser analogue of radar), an ultrasonic rangefinder and infrared sensors, which allows it to make a map for orientation in areas up to 10,000 square meters and travel for an hour outside of its usual magnetic tags and radio beacons.
Such a device, in conjunction with a robotic arm, can handle 3D printers, CNC machines, assemble ready-made parts from jobs, transport goods and documents within an enterprise without human intervention.
Application areas: manufacturing plants, hotels, restaurants, hospitals and any place where there is a need to move goods along a permanent route.
You can buy XYZprinting equipment from the official partner of XYZprinting in Russia - Top 3D Shop , and pre-order the devices that are not yet running the series and get them one of the first.
