HBD to Showcase Metal 3D Printing Inovations at Formnext 2024

Frankfurt, Germany – As the demand for precision, efficiency, and scalability in manufacturing continues to grow, metal 3D printing has become an essential technology across various industries. At Formnext 2024, taking place from November 19 to 22 in Frankfurt, HBD will present its latest innovations to meet these evolving needs, demonstrating how the company’s advanced additive manufacturing solutions are driving real-world impact.

A key highlight of this year will be HBD's advancements in supporting the efficient production of high-performance parts. The HBD 400 6-Laser Metal AM System serves as a prime illustration of this breakthrough, which is equipped with the company’s self-developed galvanometer and automatic stitching calibration system. This breakthrough reduces calibration time from up to an hour to under five minutes, boosting printing efficiency by 2-3 times. The system enables faster setup and increased productivity, making it ideal for large scale production. For instance, it facilitates the efficient batch production of titanium dropouts, manufacturing 104 parts in less than 26 hours.

Another major innovation is HBD's support-free technology, which reduces the need for support structures in the 3D printing process. For example, in the aerospace sector, HBD’s solution significantly reduces support structures in turbine components by 96%, minimizing material waste while streamlining the production process. This offers a more sustainable and cost-effective manufacturing approach for a variety of complex parts.

HBD will also unveil its innovative Powder Closed-Loop Management System, which integrates the handling and processing of metal AM materials. Specifically designed to pair seamlessly with the HBD series of 3D printers, this system automates powder management across multiple printers in a production cell. This closed-loop solution ensures consistency and quality while also allowing for flexible scaling. It can be expanded by integrating additional printers or retrofitting existing ones, making it an adaptable solution for growing production needs.

Another major highlight on display will be HBD's AMES X 3D Printing Production Intelligent Management System. This system is designed to provide real-time feedback and streamline operations across various production environments. By integrating 3D printing, logistics, and processing, the AMES X system offers a comprehensive solution that ensures efficient and seamless production workflows, further enhancing the company's capabilities in large-scale manufacturing.

These applications represent just a glimpse of the broader range of innovations HBD will be presenting at Formnext. By visiting Booth Hall 12.0 E71, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about advancements in metal 3D printing and discuss with HBD’s team how these technologies are evolving modern manufacturing.
