Holo, an organization specializing in steel additive manufacturing, has launched its H200 manufacturing printer. The brand new system allows the corporate and its companions to scale as much as high-volume manufacturing with industry-leading dimensional accuracy and floor end for end-use high quality.
The H200 employs Holo’s confirmed PureForm lithographic, high-resolution printing method. The platform persistently delivers exact elements at a value level that gives financial benefits from single prototypes to full-scale manufacturing runs of hundreds of thousands.
Over the previous 9 months, Holo has been leveraging the H200 in its AM companies – supplying advanced steel elements with industry-leading decision and precision. The elements exhibit element as superb as 50µm and keep tight tolerances inside +/-25µm or +/-0.1% on a dimension. Distinctive to PureForm, the ultimate elements match the floor smoothness of economic MIM elements, with a roughness of 1-3µm Ra – eliminating the necessity for added machining or sharpening that different steel AM applied sciences require.
Past high quality, the H200 excels in scalability. The system quickly produces advanced geometries just like the dental abutment displayed beneath in simply eight seconds per half, whereas sustaining tight tolerances throughout half runs of a whole lot of elements.
Holo’s PureForm industrial materials providing at present consists of stainless-steel grades 17-4PH and 316L, together with pure copper. The portfolio is extending to incorporate Inconel and Ti-64 on a pre-commercial foundation. All industrial supplies from Holo meet the MPIF-35 specs.
“True to CAD from Holo’s know-how implies that our H200 system produces MIM-quality elements with out the mould,” stated Arian Aghababaie, Co-founder and Chief Technique Officer at Holo. “For many functions, our know-how doesn’t require elements to undergo any post-machining or sharpening; it sinters elements to spec for a first-time-right method suited to demanding, high-volume end-use functions.”
A dental abutment, for instance, gives a transparent have a look at H200-made high quality. The dental abutments, which required no sharpening or machining to be useful elements, have been created at 8s/half on the H200 and have useful female and male threads with 200µm thread pitch.
Constructed on a number of generations of methods and with over 10,000 elements shipped to clients so far, Holo has confirmed the H200’s readiness for industrial use. Prospects in demanding sectors together with medical, aerospace and protection, shopper electronics, and the semiconductor {industry} are turning to PureForm know-how.
“We’re thrilled for patrons to achieve entry to the H200,” stated Hal Zarem, CEO of Holo. “Manufacturing volumes of elements in fields like surgical devices shall be inside attain, lastly fulfilling the promise of additive manufacturing as a scalable, production-ready suite.”
The H200 is offered now as a turnkey answer, with key specs together with a construct quantity as much as 244 x 195 x 200 mm; decision right down to 50µm options; onboard software program; compatibility with normal MIM furnaces, 240V; and no hazardous powder dealing with/inert environment setup required.
