Used Industrial 3D Printers - CNCMachines.com

When you are searching for a used 3D printer for sale, youll notice a number of types of technologies with different names. To help you compare similar types of printers, below are five common technologies with their synonyms and similar technologies as you may find advertised on our used 3D printers catagory page:

Fused Deposition Modeling

Similar Technologies/Names: (Fused deposition modeling (FDM)), fused filament fabrication, plastic jet printing, filament extrusion, fused filament deposition, and material deposition.

Fused deposition modeling is the most widely used form of 3D printing with models available at the consumer level as well as the industrial level. This technology builds parts layer-by-layer from the bottom up. It heats and extrudes a thermoplastic filament. Thermoplastics are available with special properties like toughness, translucence, biocompatibility, electrostatic dissipation, UV resistance, and high-heat deflection. The relative weakness of this technology is that you may have visible layer lines and the parts are weaker along the layer lines. Larger FDM machines require compressed air for high-performance plastics.

PolyJet Technology

Similar Technologies/Names: (PolyJet technology), multi-jet printing, photopolymer jetting

PolyJet 3D printers work similarly to a traditional inkjet printer, but instead of jetting ink onto paper, the print head jets liquid photopolymers onto a build tray. Each droplet is cured in a flash of UV light. This type of 3D printer can provide sharp precision, smooth surfaces, and very fine details. It can mix photopolymers in specific concentrations to many materials, even rubber, and human tissue. 3D printers with photopolymer jetting make amazing realism with a full gamut of colors.

Stereolithography (SL)

Similar Technologies/Names: (stereolithography), SLA, vat photopolymerization

A 3D printer with stereolithography (SL) technology is an excellent option for very tight tolerances and smooth surfaces. A UV laser cures and solidifies very fine layers of photopolymer in an open vat with this technology. Designers like this technology for quick build times for strong parts made of transparent, heat-resistant, moisture resistant materials. A relative weakness of this technology is UV sensitivity (parts are often painted for this reason) and extra post-curing steps. 3D printers of this type required dedicated manufacturing space with ventilation and a specialty multi-stage alcohol treatment.

Laser Sintering (LS)

Similar Technologies/Names: (laser sintering), selective laser sintering, SLS, power bed fusion

If you are looking for a 3D printer capable of building parts with good mechanical properties and extremely complex geometries like undercuts, thin walls or interior features, then finding a laser sintering 3D printer for sale might be your best bet. A laser sintering 3D printer uses a high-powered CO2 laser to melt and fuse powdered thermoplastics selectively. Parts made with this technology can be watertight, airtight and flame retardant since materials can hold excellent isotropic properties equally strong in all directions.

Metal Powder Bed Fusion (MPBF)

Similar Technologies/Names: (metal powder bed fusion), selective laser melting, metal laser melting, direct metal laser melting

MPBF is a type of 3D printing that makes it possible to produce complex geometries not possible with conventional metal manufacturing processes. It uses a precise high-wattage fiber laser that micro-welds powdered metals and alloys to form components similar to wrought counterparts. Strong and durable parts can be made with additive metals like Inconel, aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium. Its possible to make features like internal cavities, thin walls, undercuts and interlocking components which are difficult or impossible to make with machining. Usually, this selective laser melting 3D printing is used for prototypes, low-volume runs, or for parts that cannot be cast or machined.

Features of the operation of 3D printers and their use in practice

Many of the phenomena described in the science fiction works of Asimov, Clark or Verne have found their embodiment in reality. Nowadays, few people can be surprised by a cell phone, electric car or Skype, no matter the distance. However, there is a place for non-standard products today. We are talking about 3D printers.

History of 3D printers

Chuck Hull is considered the founder of 3D printing. It was he who invented the first printer at 1984 year. The new technology was called "stereolithography" and was patented in 1986. The first device based on it was created in 1988 by 3D-Systems, founded by Chuck Hull. Already in 1993, Solidscape began mass production of inkjet-based 3D printers that could produce small parts with perfect surface quality. A major breakthrough was the creation of a device that can print three-dimensional objects in color. This happened in 2005 thanks to the efforts of Z Corp. Already in 2006, a printer appeared that could reproduce half of its own components. nine0003

What is a 3D printer and how does it work? He builds the final object by layering the material. The main elements of a 3D printer are the print head and the working platform.

The printhead is needed to apply the layers of material and form the object. It can only move in a horizontal plane. The working platform moves in the vertical direction. It is necessary to place the object. nine0003

Scheme of operation of the 3D printer

At the first stage of the device operation, its platform is in the upper position. Then the print head forms the bottom layer of the future product. After its application, the platform descends exactly to the thickness of the layer and the head applies the next one. This cycle is repeated until the required object is "grown". This is how a 3D printer works. The consumables can be metal clay, ceramic powder, plastic filament or photopolymer resin. nine0003

3D Printing Technologies

There are various 3D printing technologies that allow you to understand what can be printed on a 3D printer. One of the earliest and most common is stereolithography or SLA. It is based on the ability of a liquid photopolymer resin to harden under the influence of a laser beam. To build each subsequent layer, the working platform is immersed in a container with liquid resin by a layer size of 0.05-0.15 mm. After leveling the surface, its formation begins. The main advantage of stereolithography is its high precision. Due to this property, it is used to make prototypes of dental prostheses or jewelry. nine0003

SLA technology

Digital LED projection or DLP is also based on liquid photopolymer resins. Only in this case, the printer projects the image of the entire layer of the object at the same time until the resin hardens. The technology is highly accurate, allowing it to be used in the manufacture of souvenirs or jewelry, as well as in dentistry.

Another known method is selective laser sintering or SLS. In this case, the formation of the final object occurs as a result of layer-by-layer sintering of particles of powdered material under the influence of a laser beam. This printing technology has become widespread due to the ability to produce parts of complex geometric shapes. These include art and even sports shoes. Sand or composite mixtures, metals and alloys, various polymers can be used as consumables. nine0003

SLS technology

Electron beam melting (or EBM) technology is based on the use of electron emitters for layer-by-layer melting of metal powder in an airless chamber. This method allows you to create parts of high strength and density. The final products are indistinguishable in mechanical properties from cast ones. With the help of EBM, medical implants, parts of rocket and jet engines, bearing elements of aircraft are made.

Another technology to note is 3D inkjet printing or 3DP. In this case, three-dimensional objects are created by layer-by-layer application of any powders, including sand mixtures, plastics, and even metals. Color printing is provided by the addition of dyes to the binder. The 3DP method makes it possible to manufacture products of complex geometric shapes that will not be subjected to mechanical stress in the future. With its help, souvenirs, jewelry or models are made. nine0003

Using 3D technologies in everyday life

Given the wide variety of consumables and technologies used, refilling 3D printers is a rather specific operation, but applicable to any device model. Currently, they are used in medical, construction, architectural, educational, jewelry and other fields. A device has been created that can build a full-fledged two-story house in just 20 hours. It is likely that in the near future the process of building construction will be simplified and accelerated as much as possible. 3D printers are also indispensable in medicine. They allow not only to produce strong and durable implants, but even human skin. These devices have become a real step into the future. nine0003
