Congress of EPMA in Lisbon from October, 4th to 7th 2020

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…
