At the upcoming Formnext, Lithoz will premiere the latest and biggest addition to their range of ceramic 3D printers – the CeraFab System S320. This powerful machine’s build platform and build volume are five times larger than of the industry-proven CeraFab System S65, making it perfectly suited to the efficient industrial production of mid-size technical ceramic parts. Both LCM machines share identical external dimensions.
The CeraFab System S320 offers the maximum number of parts per print job thanks to having the largest build platform of any Lithoz LCM printer. With its 245 x 130 x 320 mm offered, a resolution of 60 µm and a 4K projection system, the new printer has a clear focus on the industrial serial production of mid-size ceramic parts - perfectly complimenting the ultra-precise CeraFab System S65.
Flanking the printer premiere, visitors will be able to examine a showcase of impressive ceramic applications printed on the S320, including single segments of a 15” (380mm) diameter alumina gas distribution ring from Alumina Systems as used in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. The ring performs more effectively than those produced via conventional methods thanks to the design freedom of LCM technology, which enabled an exceptionally lightweight and thin-walled structure. Other mid-sized highlight parts to watch are intricate casting cores for the construction of ever more efficient turbine blades or industrial filter devices.
The continuous advancements made in ceramic 3D printing for medicine and dentistry this year will be underpinned by the exclusive chance to see a duplicate of a 3D-printed subperiosteal jaw implant. Printed by Lithoz from zirconia, the device was successfully implanted for the first time ever in surgical history earlier this year.
