The Carfulan Group is excited to share the news that a new gamechanging Stratasys 3D printing solution has been introduced to the market via 3D printing division SYS Systems.
The Stratasys Origin Two 3D printer enables manufacturers to print with high precision, delivering exceptional accuracy, repeatability and surface finish comparable to injection moulding.
This breakthrough solution is part of Stratasys’ complete offering across the production cycle, bringing manufacturers the unique advantages of additive manufacturing for both scale and low-volume production.
Rob Thompson, Carfulan Group Sales Director, said: “The Origin Two is another incredible addition to the Stratasys 3D printing portfolio.
“Stratasys DLP technology is market leading and the Origin Two will allow Stratasys to push the market forward even further and we cannot wait to see the benefits this will bring to our customers.”
The Origin Two DLP 3D printer has been released in tandem with its own post-processing system, the Origin Cure.
This solution addresses the growing demand among manufacturers for injection-moulding quality for short production runs, delivering a level of accuracy, repeatability and surface finish previously unattainable with additive manufacturing.
Traditional high-volume manufacturing is under pressure due to a myriad of challenges, such as supply chain disruptions, material shortages and changing consumer preferences.
There is a growing demand for low-volume production solutions to offset the costs of mass production. Additive manufacturing with the new Origin Two is designed to eliminate the high set-up and tooling costs typical for low to medium volume production, while meeting customers’ most stringent precision requirements.
Rani Hagag, Chief Healthcare and Consumer Business Officer at Stratasys, said: “Additive manufacturing has grown to be a critical component of production at any scale on the manufacturing floor.
“With the new Origin solution, manufacturers in need of low-volume, high-precision parts now have an alternative to mass production that can meet their most stringent requirements, something which was not possible with additive before.”
The new Origin Two, with Origin Cure, aims to address the key pain points by enabling manufacturers to:
- Ensure that end parts meet required properties by maintaining stringent quality controls.
- Bring production in-house, thereby reducing reliance on third parties.
- Improve inventory management and lower warehousing costs with on-demand delivery of spare parts.
- Consolidate part manufacturing into a single process with better consistency.
The Origin Two is designed to achieve consistently higher accuracy of +/- 50 µm, critical for industries such as connectors, aerospace and automotive. For applications such as seals and gaskets, housings and window parts, it provides additional essential features including:
- Achieving repeatability of more than 93% within +/- 50 µm across Origin Two printers and surface finish smoothness of up to RA 3 µm, while maintaining high-print speeds up to 20 mm/hour.
- The heated chamber of the Origin Two enables reliable printing of materials with a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of up to 300°C, making it suitable for a wide range of high-performance applications.
- Running on a 385-nanometer wavelength, the Origin Two system supports a broad range of high-performance materials, from high-temperature resins to high-viscosity formulations.
