This event took place on December 03, 2020. The Interreg France-Wallonie-Vlaanderen program, the associated partner Matéralia, organizer of the event and the PEPS cross-border results were presented at this event. 63 people (including 46 French and 15 Belgians) participated in the webinar. This webinar was organized in 5 stages: Welcome and introduction | Materalia – M.…
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…
