Conflux Technology, an Australia-based company specializing in heat exchangers made with metal additive manufacturing (AM), has announced that they have started serial production of argon gas heat exchangers for the AMCM M 4K 3D printer. AMCM, a company under the EOS group, customizes existing EOS platforms to meet the specific needs of their customers.
Conflux Technology is part of AM Ventures, the venture capital arm of EOS’ founder, Dr. Hans Langer. The collaboration between Conflux Technology and AMCM makes sense as it maximizes synergy within the EOS-related assets.
Conflux Technology will be showcasing the argon gas heat exchanger at Formnext 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany. This event is a great opportunity for the company to demonstrate their expertise in 3D printed heat exchangers for the AMCM M 4K 3D printer.
According to Michael Fuller, CEO of Conflux Technology, bringing their heat exchanger expertise to the machine tool industry has been a long-held ambition. He is excited that it has finally been realized through the successful adaptation of their Conflux Core technology into AMCM’s premier platform. The team at Conflux is focused on scaling their business throughout the broader industrial machine sector with their highly efficient heat transfer technology and uncompromised quality.
Martin Bullemer, Managing Director of AMCM, commends Conflux’s engineers for their unique capability to utilize AM techniques for superior heat transfer performance. The integration of Conflux’s additively manufactured heat transfer technology allows AMCM to push the boundaries of what their 3D metal printing machines can achieve.
The deployment of the Conflux heat exchanger has been so successful that AMCM is planning to use the same technology in their upcoming larger-volume M 8K 3D printer. This indicates that the collaboration between Conflux and AMCM has the potential to lead to the development of products that may not have been previously considered.
The involvement of EOS in this collaboration is crucial. As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and a key industry stakeholder, EOS plays a significant role in shaping the industry. Their expertise and consulting services make them a prominent figure in the AM sector.
Revolutionizing AM-driven supply chain management is a key objective for EOS. Expanding the use of 3D printed parts in supply chains is essential for achieving the sector’s autonomy from existing supply chain issues.
The fact that AMCM is planning to utilize Conflux Technology’s heat exchanger solutions in additional platforms showcases the potential for the collaboration to bring about significant changes in the industry. This could potentially pave the way for 3D printing 3D printers, a long-term objective that many industry insiders are working towards.
