Product catalog summary

Overview: The ProMetal® R-1™ is a direct metal R&D printer designed for rapid prototyping, particularly for research and educational purposes. It is cost-effective, easy to set up, use, and maintain, and features a flexible control architecture suitable for laboratory environments.

Specifications:

Materials: Stainless Steel+Bronze, Tool Steel, Gold
Build Volume: 2 x 1.5 x 2 inches (50.8 x 38.1 x 50.8 mm)
Build Speed: 1 minute 20 seconds per layer
Layer Thickness: 0.002 in (50 microns) to 0.008 in (200 microns)
Control: Input file format .slc, data transfer via Ethernet
Dimensions: 38 x 28 x 42 inches (965 x 711 x 1066 mm)
Utilities: Voltage 120VAC, Amperage 60Hz, Power Required 4.1 A

Printing Process:

Print: Selectively dispense binder using inkjet printing technology.
New Layer: Lower the build platform by a set increment.
Spread: Apply a new layer of powdered metal.
Repeat: Continue steps 1-3 until the part is built.
Finishing: Remove unbound metal and finish the metal parts.

Applications and Benefits: The R-1 printer is capable of producing complex 3D printed metal parts directly from CAD data. It supports applications such as injection molding by integrating conformal cooling/heating channels into mold tools, reducing stress and improving efficiency. The technology allows for weight reduction, integration of multi-piece assemblies, and improved material characteristics.

Company Information: ProMetal is part of The Ex One Company, with headquarters in the United States and offices in Asia and Europe. The company is committed to understanding and refining the process of solid freeform fabrication of metal tools.
