The hinge is from a Chinese jet airliner and weighs 11 kgs. Although Cranfield University still maintain the record for biggest metal 3D printed part all around and ORNL/Boeing, but the massive door hinge printed by Monash and Amaero is nothing to sneeze at. So what does one do after installing the biggest 3D printer in the world?ģD print the biggest metal part in the world, of course – or at least the biggest metal aerospace component made with a powder bed 3D printer. “The new printer allows us to make large complex shapes and unique tools quicker, lighter and with less waste,” said Professor Xinhua Wu, who leads the Monash University 3D printing initiative. Not only is Monash University’s only one of five who have the 3D printer, but it’s also the only one outside of America, Europe and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere available for contract manufacturing. If you’re going to invest in a $3.5 million metal additive manufacturing machine, you’d better have a decent metal additive manufacturing program. Monash is particularly involved in metal 3D printing, with a spinoff company called Amaero Engineering entirely dedicated to 3D technology. The latest purchase an Xline 2000R is Melbourne, Australia’s Monash University, a school we see quite frequently in the news for 3D printed anatomical models, 3D printed aerospace components and other advanced 3D printing applications. The metal melting machine weighs about 900 kg and carries a price tag of $3.5 million, so it’s surprising that only five printers have been manufactured so far, and it’s a pretty big deal when a company or university decides to invest in one. In fact, it’s the biggest metal 3D printer in the world so far, with a build volume of 800 x 400 x 500 mm³! Forget about downtimes when you have the printer offering continuous production capabilities.The Xline 2000R metal 3D printer from Concept Laser. Concept Laser XLine 1000 uses a rotating mechanism for making possible the preparation of two building modules at once. Users can work with steel, cobalt-chromium alloys, titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys, gold, silver, and many other precious and complex metals to handle.
The credit goes to the process monitoring in place along with the wide array of power materials supported by the 3D printer to cater to various applications. With the profound addition of interesting features, the printer offers improved surface quality coupled with reliability.
Allowing for a considerate surge in the production rate, the 3D printer does suit the industrial needs, effortlessly. This really calls for an unprecedented scale-up in terms of power for sure. Using this 3D printer, users can attain the maximum construction rates of up to 65 cm³/h. Well! That is an innovation to applaud for.
The printer can print models weighing up to 1000 kgs. It has a footprint of 630 x 400 x 500 mm and a build volume of 125 liters making room for most of the tasks without needing to print in parts. Capable of replacing the costly sand casting and die casting applications, Concept Laser X1000 is the biggest 3D printer of its kind.
