The FUSION FACTORY is an integrated Additive Manufacturing (AM) based solution for the manufacturing of complex metal and ceramic parts. It integrates the machines for all necessary technological steps in one system.
The result is a complete process chain in one frame. The combined machines fulfill all requirements for an industrial level production and quality control.
Modules can be substituted or added. Taking inspiration from Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) and the already vast experience gathered over the years in the field, the Fusion Factory aims to further ameliorate the MIM technique through the application of the ever evolving AM technology to produce parts which are technologically or economically (or both) not feasible with the current state-of-the-art.
The Fusion Factory Such a technology not only extends the capability of desktop printers beyond prototyping but also offers an accelerated and agile solution for the spare parts industry, where downtime of machinery is a critical issue and delivery of parts overseas could sometimes take weeks.
The ability of the system to print with multiple materials further adds to the manufacturing flexibility and makes the creation of composites with complex geometries possible.
THE WORKING PRINCIPLE
The FUSION FACTORY employs a three-step process, also termed as the trinity of Metal or Ceramic AM, to convert an elastomeric-metallic filament to the desired pure metallic part. •
PRINT IT! • TREAT IT! • COMPACT IT!
All three technological steps are controlled by a central unit.
