DARTH 3XTRUDER
large format additive + subtractive manufacturing
Introducing our in-house, robotic on-demand hybrid manufacturing capability. DARTH 3XTRUDER has large format additive (printing) and subtractive (milling) capability. With 6 axis of rotation, the possibilities for creation are endless. Contact us today to see how we can localize your manufacturing needs.
Details
Printing:
Volume (5 x 10 x 6ft) - Up to 150lbs of material printing / hour
Milling:
Volume (5 x 10 x 6ft) - Printed Polymers, Metal, Wood. "A" surface quality finish.
Materials:
- Most Common: CF-ABS (20% Chopped Carbon Fiber Infill mixed with Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) (Recycled Available)
- We work with our material suppliers to ensure we use the right material for your project requirements. Custom materials can be created to match colors or preferred performance.
Example Uses:
Printed components, furniture, interiors, wet layup tooling, autoclave tooling, subframes, trailers, jigs and fixtures, concrete forms, structural components, sculptures. Let us design a hybrid manufacturing process for your product!
