On the ultimate day of TCT Asia 2023, Farsoon has introduced the event of an extremely temperature configuration for its 252P laser powder mattress fusion (LPBF) system. 

The corporate first launched its high-temperature polymer 252P LPBF system again in 2014, with the machine since proving to be a well-liked alternative for technical analysis institutes, main chemical producers and small-scale manufacturing service suppliers. 

Beforehand, this method has had a temperature functionality as much as 280°C, supporting many chemical producers within the improvement of specialized engineering supplies improvement, in addition to the validation of small batch manufacturing. With this temperature functionality, Farsoon customers have been in a position to course of PA11, CF, ESD, TPU, PP, PBT, PA6, and PPS, and PA66, however now, with the UT252P system, customers will have the ability to course of supplies a excessive melting level above 340°C. 

The UT252P system is provided with a flexible construct envelope 250 × 250 × 320mm and 100W CO2 laser, which Farsoon believes will open up many new alternatives for prime temperature software in materials engineering, medical, aerospace and extra. It additionally options enhanced 8-zone temperature shielding, whereas thermal management allows the UT252P to course of high-temperature, high-performance engineering supplies similar to PA6, PA66, PPS, PAEK, PI, PTFE for end-use purposes.

In tandem with the event of the UT252P, Farsoon’s polymer software staff has been collaborating with a number of materials suppliers on materials optimisation of excessive temperature powder supplies for the LPBF course of. One current success has seen Farsoon sintering a PAEK household materials with a excessive melting level over 340°C, with the fabric that includes ‘wonderful chemical and thermal resistance, low moisture uptake, and good fire-resistant, and better put on resistance.’ Throughout beta testing, the components produced on UT252P are mentioned to have featured repeatable leads to thermal stability, floor high quality, and mechanical properties, whereas Farsoon has additionally reported that the fabric can obtain a low refresh fee with nice potential for lowered materials price and a ‘true sustainable manufacturing course of.’ 

The UT252P extremely temperature system is now open to the world market via Beta program software, in addition to materials collaboration for high-temperature supplies. 

This week, Farsoon has additionally launched its 16-laser FS1521M steel 3D printer at TCT Asia, in addition to its quad-laser FS350M-4 steel 3D printer. The corporate additionally spoke to TCT previous to the occasion about its product roadmap and the state of 3D printing in China.
