Common applications for
ultra polymer 3d printing

3D printing offers an indisputable advantage in various iteration rounds in product development, and in testing various functional prototypes. The innovative technology of Ultra 3D printer provides engineers an opportunity to test the products with authentic materials in a real operational environment, and to bring the products to the market faster and more cost-effectively than before. For the first time in this price range materials such as ULTEM 1010, ULTEM 9085, PEKK, PPSU, PA CARBON, PEEK are 3D printable with an optimal temperature process, whereupon the 3D printed objects have the optimal mechanical strength with minimum dimensional changes.

• Accelerating product development
• Authentic materials in a real operational environment
• Optimizing demo product expenses

The next generation products are more and more often special purpose products solving a specific problem. With 3D printing the products can be manufactured profitably in smaller series, and they can be tailored to meet the customer’s wishes. Therefore mass customization and small series production are the keywords for production designing and implementation. Ultra 3D printer offers an opportunity to reliably produce high quality mass customized parts and various small series productions. The parts can now be produced in-house cost-efficiently and quickly. Therefore the rapidly changing and developing components do not fill storage shelves or tie up production capacity from other equipment.

• Just in time production
• Offering customized products and limited series
• Renew part manufacturing

3D printing offers a possibility to create different tooling solutions and customize them according to ever changing demands. Tooling solutions such as layup tools, jigs and fixtures can be designed and developed rapidly to response each specific use case. With the chemical resistance, mechanical strength and high temperature resistance, the tooling solutions can be made even for the most demanding situations. Small change to the demand can be reacted with new design revision in the model and re printed quickly with cost-effective production.

• Temperature resistant over 200 celsius
• Reducing tooling investment
• Rapid manufacturing for the changing demands

miniFactory Ultra 3D printer is a perfect tool for a material developer. Freely adjustable parameters, printing resolution generated by servo motors, and the widest temperature ranges in the market, enable the reliable and high-quality development and testing of the compounds. The use of ultra polymers increases fast, so the development of materials compatible with FFF technology plays a key role for wider adoption. The extra sensitive thermal control of Ultra enables the material control in accordance with the temperature characteristics of polymers in order to get reliable and repeatable test results.

• Adjust all parameters in wide range
• Material printing tests in house
• Improve the printing behavior of the materials
