January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
MX3D, a company that introduced robotic wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM or Wire-Arc DED), has launched the MX Metal AM System, a new turnkey robotic metal AM system for 3D printing large and certified metal parts.
With the MX Metal AM System, customers can cost-effectively replace cast and forged parts. The MX Metal AM System operates on multiple adjustable build plates, including a heavy-duty 2-axis positioner, and manufactures parts that weigh 5 tons or more. The system has a build volume of 6x1.5x3.5 m.
The new MX Metal AM System includes an 8-axis heavy-duty industrial robotic setup, high productivity power source and the MX3D 24/7 automation package. All elements are fully integrated with the latest version of MX3D’s end-to-end workflow software and control system MetalXL.
The MX Metal AM System features a fully upgraded MetalXL 4.0 package. This latest version of the MX3D’s MetalXL workflow software and control system, which supports various new productivity tools, dynamic sensors and active closed-loop processes. The new MX Metal AM System offers a fully customizable robotic system to print large-scale metal parts.
The MX Metal AM System can be further expanded by several additional sensors including advanced thermal cameras, 3D scanner, weld pool camera and acoustic emission sensors.
