Titan Robotics says new machine is enabling cost savings up to 10x lower than traditional filament feedstocks.
Colorado-based additive manufacturing solutions company, Titan Robotics debuted its latest machine with Dual Pellet Extruders to the North American AM community at RAPID + TCT last week.
The new Atlas-H line features dual retracting pellet extruders combined with a robust frame and closed-loop motion control system to enable fast print speeds up to 30,000mm/minute and reduced production costs due to its compatibility with a wider range of low-cost pellet feedstock. With material possibilities ranging from flexible to high stiffness and low to high-temperature, the company says it is enabling cost savings up to 10x lower than traditional filament feedstocks currently available on the market.
“Titan has been a pioneer in the development and implementation of pellet extrusion technology in the additive manufacturing industry. Our Atlas-H product launch aligns with Titan’s mission to develop innovative solutions and technologies to bring additive manufacturing into industrial production,” said Clay Guillory, Titan Robotics CEO. “It strengthens Titan’s reputation as one of the most innovative companies in the industry.”
Titan Robotics first introduced its pellet extrusion technology at last year's RAPID + TCT event. The new Atlas-H model features a large build volume of 42 x 42 x 48 inches along with a new industrial design that includes multiple extruder heads on the same gantry supported by industrial controllers and servo drives on all axes to enable precise and reliable printing. Titan says its new expanded portfolio will allow customers to choose the configuration most suited to their application needs with the option to add multiple filament and pellet extruders on a single platform.
Bill Macy, Titan’s CTO added: “At Titan Robotics, we value innovation that addresses our customers’ needs as we continue to push boundaries for extrusion-based 3D printers. With a second pellet extruder on Titan’s Atlas-H, our customers can deposit multiple model materials within a single part or model and support materials so that parts with complex features can be more readily realised.”
