Technology components
Technology components are stand alone components used for integrators and companies alike to build large scale 3D printers
Robot Extruder
CEAD offers its printheads as technology components that can be used to build large scale 3D printers. These printheads are often referred to as the robot extruder since they are regularly integrated with robotics but can also be integrated with gantry based solutions.
They are available in two sizes, the lightweight RE E25 and high output RE E50 and are able to use a wide variety of thermoplastic materials. By using pellet material instead of filaments for 3D printing, operational and part cost are reduced. These solutions include everything needed for extruding thermoplastic pellet material. Including the printhead, software, electronics, material storage and material handling system.
Printing head RE E25
The RE E25 has an excellent weight to output ratio and is specifically designed for integration with a robot arm. The extruder is a fully stand alone unit that can be integrated with the robot or CNC controller in several ways. The RE E25 is specifically designed for large scale 3D printing and is successfully tested with a lot of different materials ranging from commodity materials like PP up to high performance materials like PEEK. The RE E25 has a screw diameter of 25mm, uses 4 heat zones and comes fully nitrited for good resistance against abrasivePP materials like highly fiber filled thermoplastics.
Printing head RE E50
The RE E50 is developed for high output large scale 3D printing. The printhead is a fully stand alone unit that The extruder is a fully stand alone unit that can be integrated with the robot or CNC controller in several ways. The RE E50 is specifically designed for large scale 3D printing and is successfully tested with a lot of different materials ranging from commodity materials like PP up to high performance materials like PEEK. The RE E50 has a screw diameter of 50mm.
Additional component: Printbed
Stable building platform for large scale industrial 3D printing
The print bed provides a rigid, stable and easy to use building platform for large scale 3D printing. The working area of the print bed exists out of multiple aluminium bed profiles, specially designed for additive manufacturing, which guarantees a good mechanical bonding between the printed object and the bed. The print bed can be used for any thermoplastic printing material.
