Inkbit Vista Automated 3D Printing System Features Closed-Loop Feedback Control
Formnext 2022: The Inkbit Vista uses Vision-Controlled Jetting (VCJ) technology to ensure parts are repeatable and accurate to the original CAD design by employing closed-loop feedback control throughout the print.
Inkbit’s Vista production additive manufacturing (AM) system is said to offer new opportunities in the mass production of functional 3D printed parts. The company says the dimensional accuracy and production-scale throughput combined with Inkbit’s range of functional materials enable industrial production capabilities for manufacturers.
Using Vision-Controlled Jetting (VCJ) technology, the Inkbit Vista ensures parts are repeatable and accurate to the original CAD design by employing closed-loop feedback control throughout the print. This contactless process enables Inkbit to develop material families with excellent durability and performance over time.
Inkbit has also developed a scalable, low-labor support removal process based on the use of wax support material. It is said this process is easily automated in high- volume production environments and enables easy recycling of the support material, which contributes to a low cost-per-part advantage while providing full geometric freedom and fine feature definition.
“The manufacturing industry is constantly evolving, and additive manufacturing systems like ours unlock new potential for many industries, even for the most demanding applications,” says Davide Marini, Inkbit co-founder and CEO.
Formnext visitors can also see the range of materials Inkbit has tailored to meet a wide variety of industry needs, from tough and chemically-resistant epoxies to soft elastomers. See Inkbit at Formnext stand F39, hall 12.1, Nov. 15-18, 2022.
