For 3D functional parts manufactured in PA12, PP, TPU, PEBA and EVA based polymers; the voxeljet High Speed Sintering (HSS) process opens up new dimensions in product development in every respect. With industry leading productivity, surface quality, and precise shape and edge definition, we offer an alternative to injection molding quality. Our large and high-speed 3D polymer printers drive efficiency and output for economical operation. Laser-free high-speed polymer sintering is an exciting alternative to injection molding, even in the production of small components or functional parts with complex geometries.
With high potential production line integration, we offer the first real 3D printing solution for volume production of polymer parts. Our unique greyscale process enables the material properties of the part to be varied in all three dimensions. This can be the partial change of mechanical strength, elasticity, or material density in the product, such as, for example, to optimize the ergonomics, weight and center of gravity of a product to a previously unattainable extent.
HSS 3D functional parts for prototypes to volume production
Fast polymer sintering
voxeljet High Speed Sintering (HSS) is similar to the laser sintering of polyamides and other polymers - only without a laser. Polymer sintering combines the advantages of this technique with higher production speed, material variety and optimum surface quality. It is the first system to combine the greyscale and dithering processes with unique possibilities to partially influence the material properties in grid structures and solid material.
Making innovation possible
With the voxeljet High Speed Sintering (HSS) process you are able to enter completely new markets through the ability to create physically unique products and applications. Benefit from the freedom of individualization that has never been achieved before. Experience resource-efficient production, e.g., in lattice structures, with optimized mechanical properties. Economically producible even in smallest batch sizes.
Universally applicable
voxeljet HSS 3D printing systems for functional polymer parts cover an enormous range of applications. As a perfectly integrated tool in materials research and product development, they are scalable for the fast and economical production of highly individualized products up to medium series production. A wide range of polymers such as PA12, PP, TPU, PEBA and EVA can already be processed today.
We process various materials with our VX200 HSS: from PA 12 and PA 613 to PEBA. The HighSpeed Sintering Technology from voxeljet enables us to perfectly optimize the interaction between material and machine in order to develop the best possible material combination for the products of the future.
