3D Printers and Ceramic Furnaces
Ceramic Core 3D Printers
AdmaFlex 130
Featuring the unique capability of 3D printing both advanced ceramics and metals on one system. This technology is ideal for the development and production of functional parts with complex geometries, high resolution, fine details, and a smooth surface finish while benefiting from excellent material properties.
AdmaFlex 300
Featuring a large build volume and the unique capability of 3D printing both advanced ceramics and metals but also multi-material on one machine. The Admaflex 300 is ideal for many demanding applications including mass-3D production of silica shells and ceramic cores for high precision casting.
Ceramic Core Sintering Furnaces
Compact Integrated Debinding & Sintering
This compact furnace handles both debinding and sintering steps with only one machine, taking up less space in your working environment and saving time. It is ideal for R&D and small series production of ceramic printing applications. The furnace has a chamber that can be moved through a mechanical system, enabling easy loading. With heating elements installed in four lateral walls, there is excellent temperature uniformity
Integrated Debinding & Sintering
This furnace handles both debinding and sintering steps with only one machine, taking up less space in your working environment and saving time. Due to its large inner volume it is ideal for production of ceramic printing applications. The furnace has a chamber that can be moved through a mechanical system, enabling easy loading. With heating elements installed in four lateral walls, there is excellent temperature uniformity.
Debinding Furnace
After 3D printing your ceramic parts with the Admaflex 130, they are in the green stage. The debinding furnace will remove the supporting polymers inside your products. This furnace has the advantage of easy loading and tight sealing. Through an automatic movement system, the loading can easily be facilitated and with heating elements installed in all four lateral walls, excellent temperature uniformity can be reached.
Sintering Furnace
After firing ceramic products in a debinding furnace, they are in the brown stage. The second and final post-processing step needed is sintering. Through firing the products in a sintering furnace, the atoms in the materials diffuse across the boundaries of the particles, fusing them together and creating one solid piece. This way, a fully dense ceramic end-product will be ensured.
This furnace is equipped with a pneumatic lifting system to simplify loading products in the chamber, while excellen
Why Choose an Admaflex Printer?
Patented Feedstock System
Patented Feedstock System
Patented Feedstock System
The Admaflex systems are designed to effectively handle materials with high viscosity, normally associated with ceramic slurries, enabling high reliability and printing speeds. This innovative system also enables efficient feedstock management by reusing the excess material.
Modular Concept
Patented Feedstock System
Patented Feedstock System
The Admaflex range of printers are designed with a modular concept, to accommodate all future developments. You can choose the resolution and building volume that meet your needs. The machine is already prepared for upgrade with Vision based In-Process Monitoring and future Metal printing
Open Platform
Patented Feedstock System
Metal Printing Options
The Admaflex is an open system that comes as standard with a complete software which provides full control of the printing process. The Admaflex user interface allows you to slice the part, add support structures if needed, apply offsets, customize and optimize parameters before and during the printing process. Printjobs with settings can be prepared and stored on a centralized data server and sent to the printer via the standard Ethernet connection
Metal Printing Options
In-process monitoring system
Metal Printing Options
Admaflex 3D printers can be upgraded with a patented feedstock system for printing metals and other heavy powders. The add on for metal printing overcomes the sedimentation problem of higher density materials. This puts the Admaflex 130 as the world's first stereo lithography based 3D printer to print metals.
In-process monitoring system
In-process monitoring system
In-process monitoring system
The vision-based in-process quality monitoring system is an excellent feature for full traceability of the printing process. All relevant production data are stored in logfiles with documented proof of the printing process. Real-time video capture and time-lapse recording are standard features of the monitoring system. It allows the user for example to partially stop adding layers to a defected product to allow the successful finalization of all remaining parts.
