Delta WASP 2040 meets serial production demand
To answer the strong demand of serial production, WASP has announced that it now offers a new approach, giving the possibility to produce small series and allowing fast and cheap product variations with the new customized serial production. The Delta WASP 2040 PRODUCTION is a new automated process for 24h printing of technical materials, introducing the new automatic part removal system.
Delta WASP 2040 PRODUCTION paves the way to a new concept in production mixing the capacities of additive technology and customisation with mass production. Once the print is over, the stainless steel belt brings it outwards until it finally detaches from the printing surface. The belt will return into the previous position to start another print. The belt is also divided into different zones with different surface textures and materials in order to allow optimal adhesion.
WASP has also reportedly solved the most frequent issues with belt equipped 3D printers. Poor flatness, warping, lack of adhesion and vibrations on 3D printed parts have been solved introducing the so-called: ‘Vacuum System’. In fact the stainless steel, in addition to the possibility of being heated up to 120°C, maintains its flatness and stability during the whole printing process thanks to a pump generating vacuum on the buildplate. The pump is then deactivated to allow the belt to move once the print is over.
WASP has also introduced another solution for printing technical materials such as ABS, PA-CF and TPU, with an air heater able to bring the chamber temperature up to 70°C, and a dynamic door opening based on the height of the printed part, in order to reduce the loss of hot chamber air.
A new function called ‘job queue’ has also been implemented in order to better manage production, this function allows the user to select the number of parts to be printed but also the possibility to print a sequence of different objects.
The new Delta WASP 2040 PRODUCTION is also supported by all the already established innovations seen on the Delta WASP INDUSTRIAL X, such as steel cored belts, dual gear filament driver, auto calibration system, continuous print mode, gcode analysis, and an optimized firmware for WIFI remote control.
