That means that we can truly migrate this technology to the production floor at comparable volumes to traditional injection-molding and die-casting.”Įxplaining the evolving thought process behind this, Reichental observes, “After trying to adapt additive to fit into traditional work-flows and design constraints, we’re beginning to see how to design for AM: how do we optimize, how do we harness structures and geometries that truly mimic what was already designed, perfected and patented by nature in ways that enhance performance, reduce material usage and are much more sustainable.” “Just in additive alone,” he adds, “we’re seeing after decades (of work) that companies are breaking the speed barrier. “We are in an extraordinary period, where this convergence of very powerful, seemingly stand-alone technologies is creating comprehensive disruption in technology business models and ultimately lifestyles. “It’s a very exciting time to be in additive manufacturing and even more exciting to be in high tech,” says Reichental. Nexa3D manufactures a range of “ultra-fast” professional-grade stereolithography printers starting under $20,000 XYZ Printing is a contract manufacturer with more than 35 years of experience and BEGO USA is a division of a 100-plus-year-old dental material and equipment company. Recently DE had the chance to hear Reichental’s perspective on the current and near-future state of AM, and particularly to catch up on the joint projects underway at Nexa3D, XYZ Printing and BEGO USA. This 3D printer uses liquid sublayer photo-curing (LSPc) to build resin-based parts in just hours. Nexa3D voxel-level desktop printer with sample high-resolution parts.
