Massivit 3D Presents its 10000 solution and Cast In Motion Technology

Formnext 2022, the largest international trade fair dedicated to additive manufacturing, took place in mid-November this year. With more than 800 exhibitors and thousands of visitors from all over the world, the event was, once again, a major meeting place for the 3D printing industry. One of the companies exhibiting its large-format additive manufacturing solutions was Massivit 3D. With locations in Israel, North America and Belgium, Massivit 3D is one of the leading suppliers of large-scale 3D printers. This year it used the Frankfurt show to present its award-winning Massivit 10000 system to the additive manufacturing market for the first time. It also demonstrated the capabilities of the system’s “Cast In Motion” technology for mold creation.

Noted for its large format solutions based on GDP technology, or Gel Dispensing Printing, Massivit 3D is well-known for its ability to create huge parts. Its machines also respond to the needs of many industries, and we were able to see this during the latest edition of Formnext. Through several live demonstrations, the company showed visitors the new additive manufacturing system which could be a game changer for many users thanks to the automation of mold production for composites. Massivit 3D’s main goal with the 10000 solution and Cast In Motion (CIM) technology is to provide a solution to common bottlenecks in composite manufacturing. How? By directly printing and casting industrial molds in a single process. To better understand the importance of this technology, we go into detail on how the production method works and what benefits it offers to the industrial and additive manufacturing sector.

The Massivit 10000 System and “Cast In Motion” Technology

As mentioned, the company presented its Massivit 10000 system during Formnext 2022. Using CIM technology, this process enables the automated production of isotropic molds and tooling for faster composite manufacturing. The problem they are trying to solve with CIM centers on producing composite parts. Typically, producing composite objects requires a CNC milling process and then manual layering of material to form the mold, followed by casting and curing. According to Massivit 3D, this traditional process can take up to 19 steps and is harmful to the environment. However, the CIM method approaches this problem in a totally different way, which has never before been seen in the 3D printing industry.
