Having firmly established and consolidated their reputation within the Spanish market, Dynamical Tools embarked on an ambitious internationalization strategy in September, actively seeking to forge partnerships with European resellers. This strategic move signifies their readiness to extend their advanced 3D printing solutions to a broader global audience, addressing the growing demand for reliable and high-performance additive manufacturing technologies across various industrial sectors.

The DT600 and DT600+: Setting New Standards for Industrial FDM 3D Printing

Dynamical Tools has consistently captivated audiences and garnered positive acclaim at major industry exhibitions throughout 2017, including ADDITT 3D, 3DPrint, La Mêlée Numérique, and TCT. These successful appearances underscore their innovative approach and the impactful reception of their industrial FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) solutions. Building on this momentum, the company is set to participate in FormNext, one of the world’s leading trade fairs for additive manufacturing and industrial production. At FormNext, Dynamical Tools plans to not only demonstrate the key factors behind their rapid market expansion but also to unveil significant advancements and a groundbreaking new product.

Their presence at FormNext highlights their aggressive strategy to gain ground against established rivals in the competitive industrial 3D printing landscape. Visitors to their stand will have the exclusive opportunity to witness the official presentation of their highly anticipated project for 2018: the “SLS” 3D printer. This innovative system will be showcased alongside the updated DT600, which has received new enhancements to evolve into the more capable DT600+. These developments firmly position Dynamical Tools at the forefront of additive manufacturing innovation, offering solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern industry.

Unmatched Versatility and Performance: The DT600 Industrial FDM Printer

The DT600 industrial 3D printer represents a cornerstone in Dynamical Tools’ strategic product roadmap, designed to address critical industry needs for versatile and high-performance additive manufacturing. This machine boasts an impressive large build volume of 600 x 450 x 450 mm, providing ample space for printing large-scale prototypes, functional parts, and complex tooling. A key distinguishing feature is its two fully independent extruders, which significantly enhance production flexibility. This independent dual extrusion system allows users to print with two different materials simultaneously, enabling the creation of multi-material parts, parts with soluble support structures, or even doubling productivity by printing two identical parts at once.

Born from a deep understanding of the industry’s demand for adaptable machines, the DT600 excels in its material compatibility. It is engineered to process an extensive range of technical materials, supporting extrusion temperatures up to an astounding 500°C. This high-temperature capability makes it compatible with virtually all engineering and high-performance thermoplastics currently available on the market, including challenging materials like PEEK, ULTEM, PEKK, and various fiber-reinforced composites. Such broad material versatility empowers industrial users to tackle a diverse array of applications, from lightweight aerospace components to robust automotive parts and specialized medical devices, without compromising on material properties or performance.

Further enhancing its adaptability, the DT600 offers four distinct printing modes, meticulously designed to cater to the specific needs of each client and application:

• Single Mode: For standard printing with one material, optimizing speed and quality.
• Dual Mode: Ideal for multi-material prints, such as combining a functional material with a soluble support material, or creating parts with different colors or material properties.
• Twin Mode: Maximizes productivity by printing two identical parts simultaneously, effectively halving the print time for batch production.
• Re-Ex Mode: A unique feature for specialized applications, potentially allowing for material recycling or custom filament feeding configurations, offering unparalleled flexibility in material management.

Evolving Excellence: Introducing the DT+ Add-on and DT600+

Dynamical Tools prides itself on a philosophy of continuous improvement, refusing to rest on past achievements. This dedication to innovation is exemplified by the release of the DT+, an advanced add-on for the original DT600, introduced in early June. The DT+ significantly expands the capabilities of the industrial FDM printer, transforming it into the enhanced DT600+. This upgrade package brings a host of additional functionalities, meticulously engineered to boost efficiency, user experience, and overall productivity in demanding industrial environments.

Among the crucial improvements integrated into the DT+ add-on are features designed to streamline the printing process and minimize manual intervention. These include an automatic filament changing system, which ensures uninterrupted operation even during long print jobs by seamlessly switching to a new spool when the current one runs out. Furthermore, the duplication of filament load capability provides even greater material handling flexibility, allowing for larger print runs without the need for constant supervision. These enhancements collectively increase the machine’s mobility and autonomy, making the DT600+ an even more compelling solution for industrial applications where uptime and efficiency are paramount.

SLS: The Future of Industrial 3D Printing Unveiled by Dynamical Tools

Looking ahead, Dynamical Tools confidently proclaims their upcoming “SLS” printer as the future of additive manufacturing. Set for release in 2018, this new industrial 3D printer integrates Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology, marking a pivotal expansion of Dynamical Tools’ portfolio beyond FDM. The introduction of an SLS system is a strategic move to address specific limitations inherent in FDM technology, thereby unlocking a new realm of industrial possibilities for users who require superior part properties and design freedom.

Selective Laser Sintering is a powerful powder bed fusion technique that uses a high-power laser to selectively fuse small particles of polymer powder into a solid structure, layer by layer. Unlike FDM, SLS typically requires no support structures for complex geometries, as the unfused powder inherently supports the part during printing. This results in significant advantages, including greater design freedom for intricate internal geometries, excellent mechanical properties with isotropic strength (meaning strength is consistent in all directions), and superior surface finish without the need for extensive post-processing for supports. Materials commonly used in SLS, such as various types of Nylon (PA11, PA12) and their composites, offer exceptional durability, flexibility, and chemical resistance, making them ideal for end-use functional parts, complex prototypes, and low-volume manufacturing.

Dynamical Tools will proudly showcase the SLS printer at their prominent stand at FormNext. This will be a unique opportunity for visitors to experience firsthand not only the DT600 and DT600+ but also to witness the capabilities of the new SLS system. Attendees will be able to inspect demonstrative models, observing the remarkable toughness and dimensional accuracy that SLS technology delivers. Furthermore, the exhibition will offer insights into the SLS production process, allowing potential clients to understand the workflow, material handling, and post-processing aspects of this advanced additive manufacturing solution. By bringing SLS technology to their offerings, Dynamical Tools is directly addressing the demand for robust, high-performance parts suitable for demanding industrial applications across sectors like automotive, aerospace, medical, and consumer goods.

With these strategic product launches and a clear vision for growth and innovation, Dynamical Tools is overtly striving to carve out a position as a world leader in the competitive landscape of industrial 3D printing. Their ambition to emulate the success of industry giants like Stratasys or 3D Systems speaks volumes about their long-term goals. The coming years will undoubtedly be crucial in observing how they continue to develop, innovate, and expand their market presence, ultimately determining their trajectory towards becoming a truly global powerhouse in additive manufacturing.
