Screw Extrusion Additive Manufacturing


Fraunhofer IWU has developed the so-called Screw Extrusion Additive Manufacturing process as an industrial 3D printing method. A screw extruder already known in extrusion technology is used here. The biggest advantages compared to conventional plastic 3D printing processes are the processing of inexpensive standard granulate and the high throughput.

USE CASES

PentaSEAM
The extrusion unit is integrated in the 5-axis machines from Metrom. There, the machine is used for hybrid machining, i.e. additive and subtractive processing in one machine.

SEAMHex
The extrusion unit is available in combination with a hexapod table as a pure 3D printer. The incredible performance of the parallel kinematic table allows industrial parts to be produced in a very short time without support structures.

GantrySEAM
The high output rate of the extruder enables integration in a gantry machine for the production of large components.

RoboSEAM
The extrusion unit is integrated in the 5-axis machines from Metrom. There, the machine is used for hybrid machining, i.e. additive and subtractive processing in one machine.
