BENEFITS

icon-speed-mx3d

MANUFACTURING SPEED

The M1 Metal AM System has a deposition rate, with an average of 1-3kg per hour (up to 5kg/h for large solid parts). With higher speed, you can reduce lead time, manufacturing time and parts cost much more effectively.

TURNKEY SOLUTION FOR WAAM

The M1 Metal AM System includes:

  • 8-axis ABB industrial robotics system enabling complex prints
  • A Fronius GMAW/CMT welding machine
  • MX3D MetalXL – our WAAM-dedicated workflow
  • MX3D MetalXL Control System including sensors network, for intelligent automation, real-time print monitoring, and high-resolution data logging.

METALXL CONTROL SYSTEM

Enhanced print control and performance.

Our control system achieves enhanced performance and productivity through dynamic sensors for continuous control and monitoring, which supports the operator with real-time feedback, high-resolution data logging, and advanced insights into the printing process.

METALXL LIVE

MetalXL Live is the print monitoring interface. It allows the user to simulate the print, control the process in real time and log the data thanks to the MetalXL control system.

metal-xl-viz

METALXL VIZ

MetalXL Viz, for post-printing analytics. It displays a 3D report of the acquired data for extensive post-printing analytics, for defects detection, certification of the printed parts and strategy refinement.

CERTIFICATION

LRQA has awarded MX3D a certification for their Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing facility. By incorporating the M1 Metal AM system, we can support our customers in getting the additive manufacturing facility certification of their own M1 Metal AM System, both for standard and custom versions.

USER STORY

A new M1 Metal AM System is deployed at the Shimoda Iron Works Co., Ltd. factory site in Japan.

The M1 Metal AM System allows us to start printing optimised parts for various industries including the wind power industry immediately. We were impressed by the ease of use and the quality of the materials. Moreover, this new process is much attractive for us because it will contribute to SDGs by minimizing both material and energy loss. MX3D’s M1 makes Shimoda the nr. 1 Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) expert of Japan, a technology that we believe will see a bright future,

Shinji Shimoda, President of Shimoda Iron Works (Japan)
