At Formnext (15-18 November 2022) in Frankfurt a. M., Germany, ARBURG is exhibiting the new freeformer 750-3X. Its build chamber is around 2.5 times larger than that of the freeformer 300-3X, which will also be presented at Formnext. On top of that, the new innovatiQ TiQ2 printer can also be admired live at the show.

freeformer 750-3X: print and space optimized
ARBURG is presenting its new freeformer 750-3X at the trade fair. The principle of material preparation remains the same, but the entire system – preparation and discharge units – has been optimised so that the new unit could be designed more compactly. From a strictly external point of view, the freeformer 750-3X cannot be distinguished from the 300-3X, as it has the same external dimensions. However, the part carrier is around 2.5 times larger at around 750 square centimetres. The significantly enlarged build chamber measuring 330 millimetres x 230 millimetres x 230 millimetres, in which, incidentally, the temperatures are kept stable without any special air flow or circulation, is the result of several technical innovations. These include optimised melt pressure generators for dosing and injecting. This allows the three discharge units to be positioned more closely to each other and in a more compact way. Due to advanced software features of the control system, it was possible to increase the printing speed considerably. For example, process-optimised latticed support structures can be created where the build time is up to 55 % faster than with "conventionally" constructed ones. The large build chamber is particularly suitable for the rapid series production of large components or several articles per build job.
freeformer 200-3X „soft“: Specialist for soft materials
A freeformer 200-3X "soft" is on show at Formnext. The freeformer 200-3X "soft" is particularly suitable for processing soft materials such as TPE in a wide range of shore hardnesses. Material drying, which is necessary when processing soft materials, is integrated into the machine and programmable via the control system. Due to its gentle plasticising, the freeformer 200-3X "soft" can also be used to produce components with a high degree of mechanical strength. The attractive price makes an economical entry into the world of additive manufacturing possible. From Formnext onwards, ARBURG will be launching a limited promotion that makes it worthwhile for customers to order quickly.
New innovatiQ 3D printer
Also represented at the formnext stand is ARBURG family member innovatiQ, with systems that process FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) filaments or LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) by innovatiQ's own developed and patented process. The new TiQ2 filament printer for industrial applications will be presented.
