Apium P400

Apium P400 : A New Level of Additive Manufacturing The Most Flexible Platform for Processing High Performance and Engineering Polymers Next Generation Adaptive Zone Heater The patented Adaptive Heating System delivers outstanding layer adhesion, resulting in maximized printed part strength and quality. Equal material properties in all directions can be expected, like conventionally manufactured parts. Energy Efficency Due to the adaptivity of the zone heater, printing large parts as well as small geometries avoids the disadvantages of heated build chambers such as time and energy consuming heating and cooling of the entire build volume. Multi-Material Processing The Apium P400 provides a platform for multiple tools, which can process various materials according to their requirements. Using the Independent Dual Extrusion System, the production capacity can be doubled or materials of different properties can be processed in one printing session. High performance polymers as well as technical polymers or compounds can be stored and preconditioned in the integrated dryer for an enhanced print result. Robust, Reliable and Organized All components have been designed for continuous operation. High-quality linear rails and servo motors ensure high print quality and low maintenance requirements. Moreover, tracking and switching the nozzles and their dedicated materials can be done seamlessly. Switched nozzles are stored comfortably in the integrated tool drawer, while the printer remembers the matching of nozzle and material. Process Integrity Automatic bed leveling and sensors for monitoring the print process are essential for smooth printing. Successful multi-material prints require a precise print head alignment, which is achieved by an integrated optical calibration system. In addition, the integrated software tracks the status of consumables and maintenance parts.
