Introduction to Antarctic Bear: Meiguang Rapid Manufacturing, a new force in domestic metal 3D printing, has continuously launched new products with significant influence in the industry in the past two years.
With the rapid development of metal selective laser melting (SLM) printing technology, the popularity of the metal 3D printing market is steadily increasing. Although this technology has demonstrated numerous significant advantages, at the same time, the security risks involved cannot be ignored. The risk of filter cartridge explosion has always been an important safety hazard in this industry. In recent years, frequent cases of filter cartridge explosion have caused bloody lessons, making it urgent to pay attention to and strengthen the safety management of the 3D printing process.
1.The important factors of filter cartridge explosion
1. Metal powder may self ignite during the printing process due to high temperature or excessive accumulation, causing the filter element to explode;
2. During the printing process, the device may experience excessive temperature due to improper control or malfunction, which can lead to combustion of the filter element;
3. Negligence or improper operation by operators may also lead to damage or blockage of the filter element, thereby posing a risk of explosion and causing personal injury or death.
Common operational errors include failure to open or close equipment in the specified order, failure to regularly clean and maintain filter cartridges, etc. In addition, if the operator fails to replace the filter according to the prescribed operating procedures, it may cause damage or overheating of the filter and self ignition in the air. If the company does not provide sufficient training on the handling measures for this situation, using the wrong handling method can easily cause the filter to explode, resulting in personal injury and serious safety accidents!
2. Refusal of filter cartridge explosion, and Meiguang Speed Manufacturing's standard permanent filter cartridge across the entire series
In order to effectively reduce the safety hazards caused by replacing the filter element during the metal 3D printing process and solve major safety hazards such as filter element explosion.
Since the beginning of device development, we have been highly concerned about the overall stability of the equipment and the development of safety measures. As a metal 3D printing equipment manufacturer in China that achieves the standard configuration of permanent filters for all products, Micron Manufacturing has attached special importance to the safety hazards of filters and has conducted in-depth research in the field of "permanent filters" for more than five years. At present, all equipment of Micron Rapid Manufacturing is equipped with permanent filters as standard to provide a safer and more reliable printing environment.
The principle of permanent filter element:
"Permanent filter element" refers to the design or material of the filter element that gives it an ultra long service life, or can be repeatedly cleaned and regenerated in some way to avoid frequent replacement. This may reduce the maintenance costs and environmental burden for users. For metal 3D, the application of "permanent filter" can maximize the solution to the explosion caused by replacing the filter, help enterprises improve their safety level, and reduce safety risks!
3. Micron Rapid Manufacturing launches ultra durable "permanent filter cartridge" to lead the new trend of filter cartridges
The "permanent filter" commonly used in the 3D printing industry on the market has a service life of 20000 to 26000 hours, while the "permanent filter" used in Micron Rapid Manufacturing equipment uses PTFE material with a very long service life on the market, which has excellent acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, and high lubricity.
After more than five years of in-depth research, Micron Rapid Manufacturing has continuously optimized and designed filter cartridges for the metal 3D printing industry. Through the special process treatment of Micron Rapid Manufacturing, the service life of the filter cartridge has been significantly extended. Currently, the filter cartridge has achieved excellent performance with a working time of over 30000 hours, thereby solving the problem of combustion and explosion that may be caused by misoperation during operation from the source.
3.Fastfab adds intelligent "golden bell cover" to metal 3D printing
In addition, to address the safety issues that may arise during the metal printing process due to excessive powder accumulation, Micron has independently developed an advanced control software called fastfab. This software can monitor the operation status of the filter element in real time, effectively preventing excessive or dense metal powder accumulation during the printing process. At the same time, fastfab can also monitor key parameters such as substrate temperature and cabin pressure in real-time during the printing process, helping users achieve safe and efficient production operations.
By continuously optimizing equipment design and safety performance, Micron Rapid Manufacturing is committed to providing users with more professional, safe, and efficient metal 3D printing equipment, promoting the continuous progress and development of industry technology.
5. Heavily launched dental industrial dual light multi-purpose metal 3D printer
Micron Rapid Manufacturing has launched its latest multifunctional dental and industrial grade metal 3D printer, the FF-220 model, which has officially become a part of our continuously expanding product line. Compared to the previous FF-140c model, the FF-220 has achieved significant improvements in printing efficiency and has a larger construction platform size of 220 x 140 x 100/200 millimeters, allowing users to handle larger construction projects.
This model is designed specifically to meet the precise requirements of dental and industrial metal 3D printing services, integrating dual laser technology to optimize printing speed and accuracy, ensuring efficient and high-quality printing results for users. Through this breakthrough innovation, Meiguang Rapid Manufacturing aims to define software manufacturing and is committed to creating an open cooperation platform for metal additive manufacturing.
