Overview

The AMSYSTEMS Center In 2016, TNO and High Tech Systems Center of the Eindhoven University of Technology founded the AMSYSTEMS Center, a joint innovation center to develop the next generation additive manufacturing production equipment for smart, personalized and multi-functional products. Additive manufacturing (AM) concerns methods whereby products are produced layer by layer, such as 3D-printing. The AMSYSTEMS Center targets high-tech applications, 3D printed electronic devices, 3D printed food and pharma applications with spin-off to other markets that require personalized, customized, on-demand manufacturing. At the heart of the Brainport / Eindhoven region The AMSYSTEMS center is at the heart of the Brainport region and has a strong link with the Dutch Smart Industry action agenda. It also has established the Smart Industry Fieldlab MultiM3D and received an investment grant for a pilot line additive manufacturing (PrintValley2020) to be operated at the Brainport Industries Campus (BIC). Scientific and… One way of increasing the throughput is by realizing the layer wise process steps (such as powder recoating, heating and selectively laser sintering) in parallel. AMSYSTEMS Center has patented technology that does this by placing the process steps in a carousel, hereby optimizing the effective print time. The current carrousel system has approximately 3 time s faster production speeds than the conventional batch-wise processes. A n additional advantage is the possibility to integrate additional process steps without affecting the system throughput, such as quality control, multi material deposition, and the integration of components. Another advantage of the carrousel approach is the short access times after a single product has been finished, the operator can take the product from the carrousel without waiting for the whole batch to be finished. This is realized by a continuous in-and outflow of empty build-trays and finished products, and thereby minimizing waiting times and obtaining the shortest lead…. http://amsystemscenter.com/facilities/
