3D Printers for minerals, marble, stone, in large scale

Superior freedom in terms of shapes and dimensions

In this production technology, the powder bed contains and supports the shapes and in this way it allows to easily create very wide and complex objects.

Custom-made 3D printers

We do not produce standard 3D printers: we offer the market custom-designed machines, depending on the size and the specific sector in which they have to operate.
Our standard is technology, at the highest level currently developed.

Greater efficiency in production

The production process becomes faster, more fluid and more versatile. You can produce different objects, simultaneously; copies of the same object, or parts of it, even after some time; serial objects that differ only in small details.
All this without cost differences, with greater rapidity and a considerable reduction in the waste.

Certifications and security

All our machines are designed according to CEI – EN standards and guarantee the highest quality and safety in all use phases.

User-friendliness

The main operational operative features of Desamanera systems and printers meet practical and daily needs: ease of use, maximum reliability, simple and intuitive control and maintenance.

New business opportunities

Own production system innovation determines important competitive advantages: it offers the opportunity to improve its own value proposition (services and products) and, consequently, to innovate the reference market and penetrate new sectors.

Additive Manufacturing was born more than 30 years ago as a rapid prototyping technology. Step by step it consolidated processes, technologies, models and paradigms.

AM is grown and consolidated as a customized-production technology and every day it opens up new revenue areas, sector by sector.

We have the fourth industrial revolution in front of us, and we are just getting started:

RAPID PROTOTYPING

Every product goes through the prototyping phase, a product design key moment that highlights strengths and weaknesses. Thanks to the prototype the imagined object output is evaluated in concrete and allows all the necessary optimizations: production process and time, product performance and appearance, tests and market analysis, marketing activities and product launch out, both cost and revenue economic evaluations.

Thanks to its flexibility and cost-efficiency, Desamanera 3D printing is the ideal technology to produce prototypes in the most effective and fastest way and to produce many more, in particular for medium-large objects with ceramic, stone, marble, …

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

The 3D printing technology starts to be specifically optimized and adopted in mass production. It may seem a paradox, but it is not: it is the paradigm of mass customization, where production processes and technologies offer the mass production affordability and, at the same time, guarantee customization opportunities reserved, so far, to the customers of most high-end artisans and to the luxury market.

Industrial production 3D printing is already consolidated in some sectors, such as Dental, Automotive, Aeronautics and Space. With the aim of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, many other manufacturing industries are intensively investing to acquire a very important competitive advantage that widens the range of potentially achievable merchandise sectorscommodities sectors and markets and introduces innovation even in mature commodities sectors.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Universities and Research Centers, as well as internal corporate R&D departments, share the desire to discover, study, test and optimize new technologies and new materials.
The goal is to improve human well-being and quality of life, to the benefit of all. Even in ways that Desamanera haven’t thought yet:

• materials development and optimization according to specific aesthetic and technical characteristics,
• accessibility to design and development of products with completely new dimensions, shapes and performances,
• the implementation of new machinery and new processes that have the power to trasform the business model.

3D PRINTING SERVICE

When the need comes in one time, the absence of familiarity with the technology and the resources required can be overcome only with a professional 3D printing service and expert and competent assistance. The companies that offer 3D printing services are more and more numerousconstantly incresed, precisely because the demand for this service is always greater.
The catchment area expands much more, since there are no direct competitors as much effective in terms of time, shape, size and complexity; there are no competitors that serve selected mineral and environmentally friendly materials.

These reflections are the result of in-depth research and dialogues with professionals in many sectors. The technology, the processes and the materials we have developed, because of their relative youthlimited age, nowadays have found solid application only in a small percentage of the areas that can be potentially revolutionized.
The next one could be yours.

It is Additive Manufacturing

It creates objects from minerals powder: add material and minimize waste production.
This differs from subtractive production methods such as sculpture and CNC machines, which do not allow specific shape complexity and do produce a large amount of waste material.

It is an indirect powder-based 3D printing technology

Direct 3D printing (for example extrusion technology) freely deposits the material: supports are needed for particular shapes and overhang, a precise production speed must be respected according to the characteristics of the material used, the change of material during printing may be the cause of slowdowns and inefficiencies.
Indirect additive manufacturing, instead, uses a process that first distributes the material and after deposits selectively the binder to consolidate only a part, depending on shape and useful thicknesses.
The powder bed created contains and supports shapes and sizes of all kinds, with stability and without time constraints.

It’s Desamanera, one of a kind

The traditional manufacturing methods of materials such as minerals, stone, marble, … are based on expensive and bulky equipment, resins and chemicals, molds, complex production processes.
Quite the opposite, Desamanera technology has been purposely designed for:

• the respect of Environment and the enhancement of Nature, thanks to the use of natural binders.
• daily using, thanks to fluid and simple production processes.
• versatility and specific needs adaptation, because every printer is customized.

R&D is fundamental for us. We chose how to design every element of the system, from mechanics to electronics, from fluid dynamics to ICT, and we personally experience every production process phase.

Each component is subject to test and research and reaches cutting-edge performance also thanks to the collaboration with Universities and Research Centers and the participation in national and international projects. Among the many, we proudly mention the University of Padua, the German Federal Institute BAM, the ADMIN4D project and the h3020 RISE-AMITIE project.

Desamanera 3D printing technology is designed for inert materials use, in very fine particle size. The production consolidates the powder through a chemical reaction and the printed material appears as a stone.

For us, the environment respect is fundamental: the aggregates we use most are marbles, dolomites, stones, sands coming from the other processes waste; the binder is an our patented formulation which includes only natural inorganic materials and which can replace Portland cements use.

However, the technology allows the choice of other materials according to the chemical, physical and performance characteristics, required for specific uses.

Inert material with 0.5 – 2 mm particle size. It can be stones, marbles, sands, pure or mixed together, also coming from other processes waste.

The binder we developed in collaboration with the University of Padua is natural, inorganic, environmentally-friendly and composed by readily available raw materials.
It is patented, and according to our current knowledge it is the only one in the world activated exclusively by water.

Desamanera technologies also allow the use of other binders without particular design changes, depending on the production requirements.
Please consider alternatives to the Portland cement use, if possible: it is one of the major CO2 emissions cause in the atmosphere.

The technical characteristics and mechanical properties of the printed material change depending on the used aggregates and binders combination. However, our natural binder makes printed parts particularly suitable for outdoor use, stable to atmospheric agents and functional even in underwater environments.

Does everyone need such a printer / Sudo Null IT News

Marketers vied with each other to describe the advantages of 3D printers using FDM technology. However, does a happy buyer really become the owner of a “magic box” capable of reproducing any plastic part, or is it still a DIY tool, like an engraver or a burning device, and will not be useful to everyone?

FDM or Fused deposition modeling (also FFF or Fused Filament Fabrication) is a method of additive "growing" of objects, on the basis of which almost all modern "household" 3D printers are built. The technique involves the layer-by-layer "growing" of an object from molten plastic, which is fed in the form of a rod. nine0003

The idea was originally patented, but the patent expired, and after that, inexpensive 3D printers from various manufacturers flooded the market - from eminent Americans to nameless Chinese - for every taste and budget. Someone chooses by brand - however, if you have knowledge in electronics and a desire to solve emerging problems on your own (without technical support from the manufacturer), you can save money by purchasing a kit kit or even assembling a printer from scratch according to one of the hundreds of published models. nine0003

Honey barrel

FDM technology is really impressive. Today, it's no longer just a rapid prototyping tool for designers and architects. In fact, having a three-dimensional model of an object, we can reproduce it at home, if necessary, changing the scale or modifying it a little in the editor. For example, you can download a car mount model for a phone and scale it to fit your own device. Or, from scratch, draw any household detail - from a lamp shade to a door handle, not to mention all sorts of little things like homemade GoPro mounts, elements of children's designers, etc. nine0003

Of course, 3D printing cannot replace a conveyor with mass production - the speed of layer-by-layer formation of plastic parts is low, so one "typical" printer can serve only the requests of its owner at best. But the task of jumping over existing production technologies is not worth it. 3D printing rules where maximum customization is needed and mass production would be categorically unprofitable. Therefore, it is very fond of DIY fans in various fields, etc. Basically, a 3D printer is a DIY tool. nine0003

Consumer 3D printing is now experiencing explosive growth. FDM technology is quite simple, and the enthusiast community has already developed several typical designs of such printers that differ in bar feeding methods and kinematics. Based on these typical designs, both branded printers and dozens, if not hundreds of homemade products, individual parts or even complete kits for which you can buy on Ebay or AliExpress are created.

Tar... also a barrel?

It would seem that the technology is running in, getting cheaper, while there is already a serious demand for it. Isn't this the key to an early grandiose success in the mass market (as it already happened with mobile phones, digital cameras, and a little earlier - computers)? Isn't it time to buy? nine0003

It seems to us that there is no need to rush. FDM technology is quite capricious, and so far it is far from becoming a kind of "digital camera" or "washing machine" in the hands of an ignorant user. Almost every corner here has to apply engineering thought. To be fair, if you're good at engineering, then the possibilities of 3D printing are truly enormous. But it’s better to know in advance what you are “subscribing to”.

Table and model processing

Layering something requires special preparation of models and the surface on which printing is carried out, plus post-processing of parts will be needed.

The printer comes with a glass or metal table - not any material will stick to them without additional tricks (and not any will then come off without violating the geometry of the model). PLA can be printed on an unheated tabletop using blue tape, 3M's extra strong masking tape that has now been reclassified as "3D printing tape" by enterprising users. The vast majority of thermoplastics need at least table heating, and sometimes additional adhesive coatings (varnish, glue, beer, acetone syrup, etc. - there are a lot of options tested by users). Finding the right coating for this particular printer (and plastic) is a path of experimentation and error. You will have to spoil more than one model before you find the very best option. nine0003

But the problems are not limited to printing the first layer. A thread of melted plastic cannot hang in the air, therefore, on strongly protruding parts (for example, parts with a reverse slope), supports are needed, which will need to be cut off at the end of printing, somehow processing the cut so that there are no sharp edges. It should be noted that even the most ordinary vertical wall after a 3D printer will not be perfectly smooth (at least the layer boundaries will be noticeable, and maybe other defects). So post-processing will be required for almost all parts for which surface quality is important. nine0003

Not all plastics lend themselves well to post-processing. Those who print a lot and with different materials will have to bring a whole set of solvents, hand tools, etc. at home. (as well as those who actively have fun DIY). By the way, at the same time, some plastics are also toxic when printed - so closed cases, hoods, etc. are needed.

Features of consumables

Characteristics of the result strongly depend on consumables ). If such plastic is not stored in tightly sealed bags with silica gel, the rod becomes brittle, may break when fed, make strange sounds when printing, do not fit well on the model, etc. nine0003

In general, even if the quality of the material is at its best (no obvious problems), not every model is suitable for printing with certain plastics. Some materials are brittle and do not allow printing thin walls, while others, on the contrary, are well stratified in volume.
