CMS is bringing its most recent hardware release, an update on the CMS Kreator, which is at the cutting edge of this segment, combining rapid extrusion capabilities and 5-axis milling to produce large structures with tight tolerances, all while minimizing material waste and accelerating production times. CMS’ latest upgrades to its system, as you can see in more detail in this article, include more extruder options and a larger build volume.
LFAM market leader Airtech, which has built a network of hardware manufacturers around its Dahltram tooling resins, will be showing how the company has recently played a pivotal role in enhancing the Brumos Collection’s Porsche GT2 RS Clubsport for 2023’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race. In support of this program, it provided all essential materials – leveraging its technical expertise and design support. Thanks to the company’s multiple cross-industry partnerships – and its Dahltram C-250CF Polycarbonate, carbon fiber-reinforced material made from recycled tooling waste – it has demonstrated the circular lifecycle capabilities for 3D printed tooling. The Brumos Racing mold will be on display at this year’s JEC, at booth #G41 in hall 5.
Airtech will also display its Aircraft Fairing Vacuum Trimming Fixture, 3D printed using Dahltram C-250GF, in the JEC Innovation Planet Mobility area, in Hall 6. As a partner of the EmpowerAX project, Airtech won the JEC Award 2024 in the ‘Aerospace Processes’ category. As part of a team of AM experts, the company used its expertise in material consultation and supply of short fiber-reinforced, high-performance polymer Dahltram I-350CF to realize this project. The EmpowerAX Demo Part realized by DLR and the other 12 partners will be displayed at Weber’s booth #P138 in hall 5.
Xenia Materials is going to be presenting its recently launched line of 3D printing materials, including the newest XEGREEN products for improved sustainability. By leveraging its existing and extensive product range, the company adjusted and refined each formulation for additive manufacturing, ensuring compatibility with various large-format material extrusion 3D printers (LSAM, FGF).
These offerings provide high stiffness, dimensional stability, low density, minimal thermal expansion, and extended service life over different temperature ranges. The materials are composed of unique resins blended with fibers and additives, customized for pellet-based material extrusion printers, ranging from smaller sizes like FDM/FFF to LFAM processes for both production and high-precision manufacturing using hybrid LFAM/CNC capabilities.
