When thinking about the benefits of additive manufacturing, some of the most cited are the ability to create complex geometries, produce prototypes in a short amount of time and customize production batches. However, that does not mean there are not still issues with additive technologies. Something that is especially clear once AM is scaled up.
When it comes to large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) or large additive manufacturing (LAM), large-scale industrial adoption is still challenging, notably due to difficulties with precise management of the extrusion process. What does this mean? Well, the stability of parameters such as speed, extrusion rate and temperature is fundamental to ensuring reliable results. However, market solutions can overlook the fluid dynamics and thermal management of the deposited material, instead leaving these choices to the operator. Furthermore, preparing models for LAM can be complex and require intense research. This is where Breton comes in.
The Breton Genesi line
The company is aiming to transform thermoplastic LAM to help users to unlock its true potential, allowing them to truly benefit from advantages like reduced printing times and costs due to the printing of large volumes of material. As such, drawing on its extensive experience in extrusion technologies, Breton has developed a new range of large 3D printers, named Genesi. But what exactly sets them apart?
