On 5, 6 and 7 October 2020, the European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA) organised its first virtual congress, due to the health crisis!   Even if the number of presentations was lower than in previous years, the quality of the exhibits was there! These three days allowed us, thanks to social networks, to reconnect with…

We already had the “Freeformer” from Arburg, an atypical 3D printer, the first one on the market to print parts from thermoplastic granules! Since December 2019, we have received two new 3D printers at CRITT-MDTS. The first one is an FDM printer to print filled filaments, the Raise 3D pro 2 and the second one…

This printer is built with a chassis and the hardware of a Prusa i3 printer. The extruder was developed by Direct 3D. It is composed of a hopper allowing the feeding of polymer or PIM pellets. An extrusion screw surrounded by a heating cell allows the material to be extruded through a nozzle with a…

Thanks to the PEPS project, we were able to finance a new device at CRITT-MDTS: the VHX-6000, 3D digital microscope, from Keyence. It is equipped with a head for macro photography and, above all, a double head that allows us to go from x20 to x2000 magnification. It can reconstitute 3D images and it can…

Thanks to the PEPS project, Certech has acquired an extrusion line of filaments calibrated for FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology, consisting of a vacuum conformation bath that can reach temperatures of 45 ° C, a laser cell to control the drawing system (caterpillar haul-off) in continuous and a winder. Depending on the material and the…

Thanks to the PEPS project, the CRITT-MDTS got a new 3D printer, Raise 3D Pro2. That printer have a lot of advantages like an enclose chamber in order to control the temperature, two nozzles to print with a material support and a large printing volume of 305x305x300mm. The CRITT-MDTS began the printing with the 316L…

CRITT hosted the first roundtable of the day on the theme of Indirect Additive Manufacturing or “PIM like” of metal and ceramic parts. Here are the 5 speakers: Today, FA “PIM like” 3D printing machine suppliers are multiplying and we have chosen to use one of them, Mr. Arnoul from Millenium, to present his new…

From 13 to 16/10/2019, in Maastricht, was held the 30th annual congress on powder metallurgy. It was an opportunity to do technology watch and review or discover suppliers of raw materials or equipments. There were about 1100 participants over the 3 days with 60 posters and 250 oral presentations on 50 sessions with a hall…

The machines highlighted in this video are those of the Platinium 3D platform and the CRITT-MDTS located in Charleville-Mézières, notably the Freeformer. Impressions of polymers, metals and ceramics are explained. Vidéo (in french) : http://event.vodalys.com/Datas/edsdm/1205826_5ccaa948139f5/

This annual event for 5 years on Charleville-Mezieres has once again gathered many industrialists and students around the theme of Additive Manufacturing (FA) (~ 140 people). 8 round tables with 4 to 5 speakers followed each other during this day: Indirect additive manufacturing, piloted by CRITT-MDTS, The connected objects in link with the AF, led…

Afternoon of the launch of the cross-border PEPS project, which brought together 56 participants at the CRITT MDTS in Charleville-Mézières We presented the Interreg program, our consortium, our objectives and missions and we gave the floor to local speakers to complete our technical speech (EPMA, Platinium 3D and Distudio3D). The invited audience was mainly companies,…

78 people participated in this conference organized by SFIP, INSA Lyon and IMT Lille Douai, in collaboration with SF2M Sud-Est. 23 conferences was given both by industrialists from all fields, and academics. This conference was composed of three sessions: Materials, Performances and Processes. After the 2016 Symposium dedicated to prototypes, the 2019 Symposium was dedicated…
