Xolo has launched the Xube² 3D Volumetric Printing system, with the corporate promising ‘unparalleled velocity and determination.’
Volumetric 3D printing permits objects to be in-built a single, layer-free course of, and is alleged to supply vital velocity and materials effectivity benefits.
Xolo’s Xolography know-how has been developed to ship excessive precision by projecting gentle with two wavelengths into resin inside sealed cuvettes, enabling the fast creation of advanced constructions. This methodology is alleged to be splendid for printing biocompatible supplies and hydrogels, in addition to technical objects, like optical components with clean surfaces. Excessive-viscosity supplies will be printed with out assist constructions, permitting for isotropic materials properties and high-performance direct oligomer printing. This makes Xolography significantly helpful for scientific analysis and superior manufacturing.
The Xube² caters to analysis wants from small to large-scale constructs, with a quick-change cuvette holder making transitions between tasks seamless. Customized cuvettes, in the meantime, permit each dimension of the construct quantity to be tailor-made to the particular necessities of every challenge—as much as 30 x 50 x 80 mm. A spread of decision settings – listed beneath – assist researchers to create intricate and extremely detailed constructions.
- 30×50 mm² at 15 µm (x,y)
- 20×35 mm² at 10 µm (x,y)
- 10×17 mm² at 5 µm (x,y)
Xolo’s Xube² system additionally helps fast switching between 375 nm and 405 nm gentle sheet modules, offering full compatibility with xolo’s dual-colour photoinitiators. This versatility permits researchers to utilise each present and future photoinitiators, broadening the scope of functions and making certain future-proof flexibility. Exact environmental management affords temperature laws, which is crucial for fine-tuning the properties of photoinitiators and photopolymers—important for experiments involving stay cells and delicate supplies.
On the software program aspect, Xolo has developed a wholly redesigned software program that enables customers to manage each side of the printing course of, giving them the power to regulate parameters all the way down to the person voxel.
The {hardware}, lastly, is alleged to be modular with a spacious inside facilitating simpler upkeep, higher calibration and superior print outcomes. Each a part of the printer will be simply exchanged and there’s ample room to combine customized sensors and units.
