Rapidtech in Erfurt has established itself as an important event in the 3D printing scene, and Arburg Additive will be among those taking part in its 20th anniversary event from 14 to 16 May 2024. The company will be presenting two exciting exhibits: a large 750-3X Freeformer, which works on the basis of plastic granules, and an Liq 5 for 3D printing liquid silicone (LSR). Visitors will find Arburg Additive in Hall 2/2-215 at Rapidtech.

It is the triple combination of congress, exhibition and networking that makes this event special and interesting for the entire industry. As Dr Victor Roman, Managing Director of Arburg Additive, explains: “Alongside the world’s leading trade fair Formnext in Frankfurt, Rapid.Tech is one of the most important German trade fairs in the field of additive manufacturing. It offers researchers and developers in particular a great platform for exchanging ideas.”

The main areas of focus will be transport, aviation and medical technology, as well as software/AI and design for additive manufacturing and 3D-printed electronics. Commenting on the Arburg Additive exhibits, Dr Victor Roman adds: “Demand for additively manufactured components for industrial applications is increasing and the requirements for part quality and material properties are becoming more stringent as a result. With our Freeformers and 3D printers from the Tiq and Liq series, Arburg Additive offers a suitable solution for practically every requirement.” The Liq 5 3D printer will be demonstrating LAM (liquid additive manufacturing) technology for processing liquid silicone. This can be used to produce customised orthopaedic accessories and products for the food sector, for example.

With the large Freeformer 750-3X in the high-temperature version, the build chamber can be heated up to 200°C, with plasticising taking place at up to 450°C. This means that geometrically sophisticated ventilation ducts for the aerospace industry can be produced from Ultem 9085, for example. With its large build chamber (max. 330 mm x 230 mm x 230 mm), the Freeformer 750-3X also offers the option of additively manufacturing larger functional parts or small batches industrially — such as orthopaedic insoles up to shoe size 50. The possibility of additively manufacturing components from soft materials and high-temperature plastics or in hard/soft combinations is an impressive illustration of the machine’s wide range of applications. Short fibre-reinforced parts made of PA with 25 percent glass fibres and sealing components made of coloured LSR are other innovations that will be presented on the trade fair Freeformer in Erfurt.

The company also offers extensive and intensive training courses at the Arburg headquarters in Lossburg. Highly qualified application and service technicians also support customers on site with commissioning and trials as well as with material qualification in the form of a constantly growing material database.
