New dp polar 3D printer features XAAR printheads

XAAR printheads have again been selected by industrial 3D printing machine manufacturer dp polar to power the latest addition to its range—‘mass production’ AMpolar i1. The machine is scheduled to be unveiled at Formnext Show in Frankfurt from November 16-19, 2021. The new compact AMpolar i1 will be on display at the show and visitors will be able to see how dp polar’s Additive Mass Manufacturing process uses XAAR 1003 printheads to jet parts at volume and deliver 3D printing on an industrial scale. dp polar designs, develops and delivers industrial 3D printing systems and solutions for the automotive, aerospace, mechanical engineering and consumer industries, and has worked with Xaar in the use of its printheads over a number of years.

AMpolar i1 utilises the XAAR 1003, part of XAAR’s extensive printhead portfolio. The combination of speed, reliability and capacity to jet a variety of fluids at increasingly high viscosities, enables jetting of fluids up to 100 centipoises (cP) in a single pass. XAAR’s Ultra High Viscosity Technology is key to realising this capability, opening access to an exciting range of new applications. According to a statement from the company, AMpolar i1 delivers all the production benefits of the AMpolar i2, but at a scale and in a format that facilitates businesses in their early stages of exploring what is possible in mass production 3D printing.
