M10 ComeTrue
The M10 Ceramic platform
ComeTrue, a Taiwanese 3D printing company, has unveiled the M10 Ceramic machine based on the ComeTrue Binder Jetting (CBJ) technology.
It comes nearly two years after the company made its initial entry into the additive manufacturing (AM) market when it launched its full-colour machine. It took that platform as its sole 3D printing system with it to CES in 2017, and most recently at TCT Asia in March 2018, but now has a second machine to showcase for future events.
The benchtop machine uses ceramic composite powders to build parts said to befit crafts, education and research, as well as some advanced manufacturing applications and for biomedical requirements. It has a build envelope of 200 x 160 x 150 mm, has a maximum vertical printing speed of 20mm/ hour, and requires between 100-120 or 200-240 Volts. It only supports STL file formats. The machine is also powered by the CBJ process which is said to be able to print complex models cost-effectively and without the need for supports.
When looking to implement the M10 platform, ComeTrue suggests a dry vacuum cleaner, with at least 17L of tank capacity and a firing kiln, able to withstand temperatures of at least 1300°C and at least 15 x 15 x 15 cm in size, as absolute requirements.
ComeTrue was one of more than 250 exhibitors at this year’s TCT Asia in Shanghai, China, which attracted a record number of visitors and featured 38 metal machines on the show floor. Next year, the leading additive manufacturing show in China – one of the fastest growing AM markets – will double in floor space.
