At this year’s Formnext, in Frankfurt, Germany, ARBURGadditive, part of the German Arburg company, will premiere its Freeformer 550-3X with the Gestica planning assistant, which actively supports users at the machine. The TiQ 8 filament printer will demonstrate how flame-retardant PC and high-temperature materials such as PEKK can be processed, while the LiQ5 will produce LSR parts using support material for the first time.
The company will also showcase interesting applications, research projects, and material developments for industries such as mobility, medical technology, and electronics. With Freeformers and 3D printers from the TiQ and LiQ series, ARBURGadditive offers solutions for practically every requirement in additive manufacturing.
“The new Freeformer 550-3X is an industrial machine with features that will enable even unskilled workers to quickly and reliably print high-quality functional parts,” said Simon Leitl, Director Development APF at ARBURGadditive. “One major advantage is that we can draw on a wealth of expertise and exploit synergies with the world of injection molding, for example in the areas of control systems, automation, turnkey solutions, and digitalization. At Formnext 2024, we will be presenting many application examples of how to do this that will deliver real added value.”
