3D Systems is expanding the scope of application in various markets with its large-scale industrial 3D printers.

3D Systems announced on the 14th that it had announced the domestic launch of its large-scale industrial pellet extrusion 3D printer, 'Titan Atlas,' earlier this month.

The Titan Atlas provides diverse solutions to customers in various application fields using proprietary additive manufacturing (AM) technology, featuring a hybrid tool head configuration that enables filament and pellet extrusion and spindle operation within a single machine.

3D Systems expands the strengths and scope of its polymer additive manufacturing solution product lineup through the Titan Atlas 3D printer. It plans to develop new applications in various markets, including casting, consumer goods, service industries, the automotive industry, aerospace and defense, and general manufacturing.

The Titan Atlas 3D printer is the only 3D printer that offers a hybrid tool head configuration with a spindle tool head for pellet extrusion, filament extrusion, and precision finishing.

Customers can select the most suitable configuration based on their application requirements. With a heated chamber and a printing speed of up to 30,000 mm per minute, it is possible to manufacture large industrial parts up to 1270×1270×1828 mm. In addition, as customer applications expand in the future, the modular Titan system can be upgraded with materials and product configurations tailored to customer requirements.

Pellet extrusion 3D printers offer a wide range of material options with various commercially available formulations, ranging from low-hardness (ductile) resins to high-performance and high-filler resins such as carbon fiber and glass fiber.

These solutions can be applied to a variety of applications, such as sand casting, tooling (thermoforming, vacuum forming, sheet metal forming, composite tooling, etc.), jigs and fixtures used in assembly and manufacturing operations, replacing injection molding, or end-use products suitable for high-temperature requirements, such as air ducts, underhoods, brackets, and structural components.

Titan Atlas offers three selectable platforms—Titan Atlas Standard, Atlas-H, and Atlas-HS—allowing customers to customize by combining modules for their desired configuration.

The Titan Atlas 3D printer family is equipped with hybrid extrusion technology, a heated chamber, and an industrial CNC motion control system, which will provide the ability to produce faster, reduce costs, and print large industrial parts.
