Smart Molding International 2-2023
38 smart_molding international 2/2023 additive manufacturing gradual cooling process. All of this ensures the best dimensional accuracy andmechanical durability for the printed part. The BCN3D Omega I60 heated chamber can reach temperatures of up to 70 ° C, making it ideal for printing materials such as ASA, PA, ABS and reinforced PA, among others. • Massive print volume: The printing volume available in the BCN3DOmega I60 is 450 x 300 x 450 mm (17.7 x 11.8 x 17.7 in), offering up to 60 liters. This, combined with the heated chamber, gives BCN3D Omega I60 the ability to produce large technical parts. • Material Operations System (MOS): This integrated material module offers a complete all-in-one experience. The MOS allows you to control not only the humidity, but also the temperature. It provides two key advantages: the ability to recover compromised material and the ability to preheat your filament before starting a print. This is especially important for engineering materials with higher heat deflection temperatures. Furthermore, the material operating system enables automatic filament loading and unloading. So, if your print job runs out of filament halfway through, the machine will automatically change the filament for you. BCN3D’s Omega I60 MOS can reach up to 75 ° C and provides an RH below 10%. • XYZ Autocalibration: This technology, that uses piezoelectric sensors, eliminates human dependence and guarantees correct first layer adhesion. It calibrates by measuring multiple points to adjust printing surface height (Z) and (XY) offset between nozzles. For BCN3D Omega I60 with Independent Dual Extrusion System (IDEX), precise XY alignment is crucial. A dedicated calibration zone outside the printing surface is used for toolhead alignment. The toolheads make contact with the machined calibration zone in order to calculate positioning and automatically calibrates offsets to avoid crossovers or shifting layers in duplication mode. Last but not least, BCN3D Omega I60 is equipped with a vast array of other important features such as a built-in camera, a flexible build plate, an Uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a Filament Runout Sensor (FRS), a barcode sensors for spool and components recognition, a andon light, a 7” capacitive touchscreen, an HEPA and Carbon filter, a Safety Pause function, an emergency stop button and WiFi or Ethernet connectivity functions. Applications and materials The portfolio of materials offered for BCN3D Omega I60 has been carefully selected to cater to specific verticals such as tooling, jigs and fixtures, short run production, masking, large prototyping, production line replacements, and end-use parts. The materials include: • Omega P ro to : A c u s t om formulation developed for BCN3D Omega I60 and ideal for prototyping, jigs and fixtures, low load bearing alignment guides, and drill guides. It offers a smooth matte black surface finish and isotropic properties, making it suitable for both basic and functional prototyping. • Omega Impact ASA: This material excels in UV resistance, making it ideal for outdoor end-use parts. It is highly durable, making it suitable for tooling subjected to repetitive loading. • Omega Resistant Nylon: Ideal for the factory floor environment,
