AddCat and AMPC Solutions bv are collaborating in a project to develop novel metal catalytic reactors for air purification based on a new 3D-printing process. The new process consists of printing polymer filaments in which metal particles are embedded by means of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). The structure of the reactor is produced quickly and easily by extrusion these filaments. The aim is to find a composite material that, after the FDM 3D printing process and a thermal post-treatment, is suitable as a catalytic reactor with high thermal conductivity. The first tests are performed on the AMPC print farm solution, using the composite material Ultrafuse 316L from BASF on the Ultimaker S5 Pro configuration. Major advantages for production are achieved because machines and materials are cheaper, production is safer and production speed is greatly increased compared to, for example, SLS/SLM. The printed reactors demonstrate high conversion of malodorous compounds.
The image shows a FDM printed part on the left (polymer is still present), and with SLS/SLM on the right. Also, an image is added with the FDM printed part after debinding/sintering process.
This project is supported by a contribution from the Stimuleringsfonds Metropoolregio Eindhoven
Fontys has opted for the AMPC cabinets for a Ultimaker configuration and thus acquired the latest reliable technology with the Ultimaker S3 and S5. With the newest software from Cura Digital Factory is the management of the AMPC printfarm a lot easier and scalable. In addition, there is now much more choice of supported engineering materials. Which makes the applications in WTB and Mechatronics very applicable. Fontys was also very fond of the AMPC Solutions, in which security, service friendliness, scalability were clear features to invest in this configuration.
AMPC will be present at the digital confference ADDITIV digital World!, booth: 11.0 E61.
Are you ready for ADDITIV digital World 2020? The event is kicking off on October 22nd at 8AM EDT (UTC – 4:00) and we’re very excited to see you all there! During the day, you will be able to discuss the latest 3D printing trends with market players, meet exhibitors during networking sessions, and attend engaging panel discussions with speakers from leading companies and institutions like NASA – National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Facebook, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Ford Motor Company, and AMPC Solutions bv

In September 2020, Fontys Hogescholen purchased their first AMPC printfarm solution for their engineering courses, namely WTB and Mechatronics. In addition to these courses, the printfarm solution will also be used by the students of the 3d print minor, which will start at Fontys from February 2021 at the BIC, the new location for this course on the outskirts of Eindhoven Brainport. As an assignment in these minors, the Ultimaker 3d printers will be used to make grippers for the various robots.
Fontys purchased the AMPC Solutions printfarm via the Benelux reseller of AMPC: Lay3rs 3Dprinting. Fontys is always looking for the best partner, that doesn’t only give the best price, but also as a local partner for the long term thinks along in finding the right solutions and can give the best service with support questions. The AMPC Configuration can be admired at the Brainport Industry Campus in Eindhoven.
