Improving large scale additive manufacturing accuracy with laser tracking
As a large scale thermoplastic composite 3D printing company, CEAD strives to revolutionize the possibilities of additive manufacturing. Central in this strive for innovation are, among others, increasing both the thermoplastic output per hour and the accuracy of our large scale 3D printers. In order to increase output, CEAD has developed groundbreaking robot extruders and continues to do so. The aspect of increasing [...]
Factory/Site Acceptance Test and large scale 3D printing
To validate that a newly built solution for large scale additive manufacturing works as expected from the factory, CEAD uses an Acceptance Test. During this test we make sure that the final system matches our quality standards, as well as the wishes of the client. The Acceptance Test is the final step of the production process. This article elaborates on such tests which are [...]
Formnext 2021: a recap
After not being able to attend Formnext for two years, this November we had the opportunity to finally attend the event live again. In 2019, we were still co-exhibitors on the Siemens booth. But, this year we built our own booth and had the perfect location on the fair! It was great to see everybody again and meet new people. In this news [...]
Siemens NX CAM and the CEAD AM Flexbot
The right driver makes the difference in realizing the full potential of our robot solution for 3D printing, the AM Flexbot. This is why the usage of the AM Flexbot is supported through Siemens NX. This software is a flexible and powerful integrated solution that helps to deliver products faster and more efficiently. The combination of Siemens NX and the AM Flexbot enable [...]
In-house training for complete large scale 3D printing solutions
In order to unlock the full potential of our solutions, one must be familiar with the possibilities of large scale 3D printing. This is why CEAD helps clients with personalized training, both in-house at our production hall, as well as on-site at your production facility. Training is provided to obtain the knowledge and skills required to operate a specific 3D printing machine that [...]
