The additive manufacturing sector is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards greater industrialization. This shift is a stark contrast to the technology’s origins in the 1980s. Today, 3D printing is being widely used across various industries for everything from prototyping to creating end-use parts.
A recent report by Hubs confirmed that FFF 3D printing is the most favored method among respondents, with a staggering 56% using it. The runner-up, SLA, only had a 20% usage rate. Now, a new solution is entering the market, claiming to be “the new standard in the world of 3D printing.” Omni3D is set to launch the Omni PRO and PRO HT 3D printers at the upcoming Formnext event.
We have already spoken about Omni3D before, as this Polish manufacturer has rapidly made a name for itself in the world of high-temperature and professional FFF 3D printing. In March of this year, the company expressed its commitment to the B2B 3D printing market, stating that its mission is to provide innovative and cost-effective products. With the launch of the Omni PRO and PRO HT printers, Omni3D aims to exemplify this goal and introduce some interesting applications in the months to come.
CEO Paweł Robak explains, “Our company has always been focused on developing cutting-edge 3D printing technology, and the introduction of the Omni PRO and Omni PRO HT printers is a testament to our determination to achieve perfection. The collaboration between our engineering and design teams has resulted in a product that exceeds our customers’ highest expectations.”
So, what exactly will Omni3D showcase with these new printers? Both models will have a generous build volume of 500 x 500 x 500mm, be compatible with Simplify3D, and have a filament diameter of 1.75mm. They will also share the same minimum layer height and common features of other Omni3D printers. However, the main difference lies in the materials each printer can handle. While the Omni PRO already supports filaments like PC, PC-CF, PEEK, PEEK-CF, and PPA-CF, the Omni PRO HT is specifically designed for high-temperature materials such as ULTEM 1010 and UTLEM 9085.
Wojciech Wiśniewski, a 3D Printing Technologist at Omni3D, explains the importance of chamber temperature in achieving high mechanical properties with engineering and high-performance polymers. The higher chamber and build plate temperatures in the Omni PRO HT allow for strong interlayer bonds and reduced internal stresses, which are common issues in FDM/FFF 3D printing.
Both printers include a range of unique features that Omni3D hopes will set them apart from competitors. In addition to their large working space, they have a cooling system for the extruders, air circulation for precise temperature control, the Filament Flow Control™ system, as well as head leveling and platform auto-leveling capabilities. These features ensure a hassle-free experience and significantly reduce printing failures for users. The printers also come with filament chambers equipped with automatic feeders and heating. Each chamber can hold up to two 3 kg spools, making a total capacity of 12 kg in the printer.
Omni3D’s Omni PRO and Omni PRO HT printers promise to elevate 3D printing to new heights. With their advanced features, high-temperature capabilities, and focus on precision and reliability, these printers are set to make a mark in the additive manufacturing industry.
Omni3D, a renowned 3D printing company, has recently unveiled its latest innovation, the Omni PRO and Omni PRO HT 3D printers. These cutting-edge machines are built with advanced features and capabilities that cater to the diverse needs of professionals across various industries.
One of the standout features of the Omni PRO series is its ability to seamlessly switch between different filament spools during the printing process. This means that users can choose which filament to use first, and if it runs out before the printing is completed, the machine will automatically switch to the next available filament. This feature ensures a more seamless production experience and eliminates the need for manual intervention.
The Omni PRO printers are designed to accommodate up to four filament spools simultaneously. This allows users to print different objects using different materials without the hassle of constantly changing filaments. The versatility of these machines makes them particularly useful in sectors such as defense, aerospace, and railway, where the ability to print with different materials is crucial.
Omni3D has already garnered interest from some high-profile clients, including Airbus, BAE Systems, and NAVAL Group. These companies are utilizing the Omni PRO printers for their most advanced applications in the 3D printing industry. The success and implementation of Omni3D’s systems in such prestigious organizations speak volumes about the quality and reliability of their printers.
Adam Wilczyński and Piotr Skotarczyk, the engineers responsible for designing the Omni PRO printers, aimed to create a machine that could meet the diverse requirements of different users. They understood that many customers try to utilize their 3D printers in various areas of their business once they have one. To address this, they focused on improving not only the temperature parameters but also the accuracy, speed, reliability, and ergonomics of the printers.
The Omni PRO series is built with industrial-grade components and incorporates smart custom features that enhance the overall user experience. These printers are powerful tools that are capable of handling both prototyping and low-volume production, providing professionals with the means to overcome the limitations of traditional production processes.
Omni3D will officially launch the Omni PRO and Omni PRO HT 3D printers at Formnext 2023. The company will be showcasing its latest innovation at Booth C02 located in Hall 12.1. This is a great opportunity for industry professionals to witness firsthand the capabilities and potential of these advanced machines.
