Incus lithographic-style metal 3D printer produces MIM-quality parts
- January 12, 2021
- Product Release
- Additive Manufacturing
The lithography-based metal manufacturing (LMM) process developed by Incus GmbH is intended for 3D-printing prototypes and for the small-scale production of components having the quality requirements of parts produced by metal injection molding (MIM).
The Austrian company’s LMM technology and its flagship machine, the Hammer Lab35, reportedly offer lateral resolution of 35 microns and “superior” surface aesthetics and mechanical properties when printing parts < 200 g. The print speed tops out at 100 cm3/hour and, according to Incus, the process can be readily integrated into existing MIM production lines.
MetShape, a spin-off company of the Institute for Precious and Technology Metals at Pforzheim (Germany) University, currently operates two of the machines. A joint effort between MetShape and Incus allows the LMM process to be reviewed and tested and new materials developed. The arrangement, reports the company, helps it adapt the machine and the feedstocks to the needs of the manufacturing industry.
