DyeMansion has introduced its Powerfuse S PP system, a cleaning and surface finishing system that can smoothen 3D printed polypropylene. DyeMansion’s Powerfuse SPP vapor polishing solution is the first to be designed for industrial manufacturing.
DyeMansion’s Powerfuse S model is compatible with flexible and rigid materials on the market, including PA, TPU, ULTEM, and others. Powerfuse S PP on the other side is made for processing polypropylene.
“After seven years in business, developing workflow solutions for our customers, I’m thrilled to see that the factory of the future is becoming a reality, also thanks to our latest products. With our customers and partners, together we’re building factories for high-volume production applications in different parts of the world. Formnext demonstrates how anyone can implement our solutions in their factory. Connectivity, automation, and reproducible quality are the prerequisites to successfully future up your factory,” said Felix Ewald, CEO, and Co-Founder of DyeMansion.
DyeMansion 360° Digital Services
DyeMansion has revealed its first digital product family, the DyeMansion 360° Digital Services. DyeMansion Remote Service is available, DyeMansion Data Connect is available, and DyeMansion Workflow Center can be accessed.
DyeMansion Workflow Center offers a web-based and cloud-based application. DyeMansion selected Siemens MindSphere as its product platform. It offers live monitoring and custom alerts. The run history can be used immediately by plug-and-play. Customers can monitor and analyze their own workflow – according to the company.
DyeMansion Data Connect combines MES/ERP with on-site machine data and process data. According to DyeMansion, the Remote Service allows more effective collaboration through targeted support, maximum uptime via direct troubleshooting, and reduced resources with a “quick and effective” remote service.
At Formnext 2022, the company demonstrated the DyeMansion Workflow Center live. As a post-processing partner, the company has also joined Materialise’s CO-AM software platform in its efforts to advance serial AM production. According to the company, you can access the Print-to-Product workflow on CO-AM using a standard OPC-UA interface.
DyeMansion + Nexa3D – a strategic partnership
“Nexa3D is driving innovation to digitize the supply chain sustainably by making the world’s fastest polymer 3D printers affordable for professionals and businesses of all sizes,” said Kevin McAlea, COO of Nexa3D.
DyeMansion and Nexa3D have announced a strategic partnership to automate additive manufacturing workflows. This includes printing, finishing parts, and more. This collaboration will make use of Nexa3D’s QLS 820 printer’s throughput capabilities, DyeMansion’s automated post-processing hardware, as well as the printer’s Siemens PLC integration and powerful NexaX for QLS manufacturing software.
“It’s only natural that we would partner with DyeMansion, the leading provider of automated post-processing solutions for powder bed fusion, to ensure that our industrial customers can leverage high-throughput manufacturing capabilities from end-to-end as well as reduce their total cost of operation,” added COO of Nexa3D.
DyeMansion believes the strategic partnership will help users manage productivity and product-quality easily.
HP and HP partner to produce new materials for their post-processing platform
HP has partnered with DyeMansion in order to offer connected post-processing workflows that allow for the finishing and coloring of white parts made using the HP Jet Fusion 5420W.
DyeMansion claims that it offers a wide range of vibrant colors, high color consistency and different finishes depending on your application needs. Formnext showcased many of the final parts from these businesses to show their surface finishing capabilities and coloring capabilities.
“As an experienced MJF part provider, we are excited about the new possibilities that can be achieved with white MJF parts enabled by HP 3D HR PA 12 W material. We see a huge potential, especially within the healthcare segment, to increase customer satisfaction with very good detail resolution and the new coloring and surface options, provided through systems from DyeMansion, that this new material brings to the market,” said Henry Lundell, Senior Business Development at Prototal.
Lubrizol approved the Powerfuse S, which smooths semi-rigid TPU material. The ESTANE 3D M95A TPU is made with HP Multi Jet Fusion and is certified for skin sensitivity. It can also be dyed according to DyeMansion.
DyeMansion published a new whitepaper titled “Optimising Post-Processing for Ultrasint TPU01” in collaboration with BASF, concentrating on depowdering, vapor polishing, and dyeing of Ultrasint TPU0, printed on HP Multi Jet Fusion. At Formnext, DyeMansion had finished lattice components and white paper.
Moreover, ALM, a new materials partner, is anticipated to supply Stratasys’ new SAF PA12 powder for the H350 3D printer. The powder has been validated with the Print-to-Product workflow, and parts made with it were displayed at the firm’s respective booths.
DyeMansion also added 12 new sales partners and 9 new production partners since Formnext 20201. The total number now stands at 85. The company’s expansion plans include Nutechnologies in Romania, Dynagraph UAE, Energy Group Italy, 3Dreams, Mafil Israel, Energy Group in Italy, Energy Group in Italy, 3Dreams, and Yokoito Japan.
Yokoito CEO and founder Yutaro Nakajima-san said: “Japan is historically a country that attaches great importance to product quality. Japan has been slow to adopt 3D printing technology over the years due to inconsistencies in post-processing and layer lines. DyeMansion has the core technology that solves these problems, and we believe that if the technology becomes widespread, PBF as a manufacturing technology will advance rapidly in Japan.”
