INTAMSYS Introduces the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO
INTAMSYS, a leader in industrial Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing, has made headlines with the launch of the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO, a groundbreaking high-performance printer unveiled at Formnext. This new model signifies a remarkable advancement in 3D printing technology, particularly for continuous production applications involving high-strength PAEK materials.
For over ten years, INTAMSYS has been at the forefront of transforming FFF from a prototyping tool into pivotal technology for functional part production. In 2016, they launched the FUNMAT HT, a high-temperature printer that successfully handled PEEK materials, setting a standard in the industry. The company’s commitment to innovation has led to continuous expansions in material compatibility, solidifying its place as a leader in this field.
The FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO is not merely an evolution of its predecessors; it represents a system-level upgrade specifically designed for high-performance material manufacturing. With a unique multi-physics process control, this innovative printer boasts impressive capabilities, including up to four times faster printing speeds and more than double the Z-axis strength, surpassing 40 MPa. This means that the new printer can handle much more demanding applications while maintaining quality and efficiency.
Advanced Features for Enhanced Production
Among its many features, the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO comes with dual 3kg active-drying filament boxes and RFID material recognition, which ensures that users can effectively monitor and manage materials throughout the production process. Furthermore, the INTAMQuality™ traceability system has been launched to provide manufacturers with assurance regarding the quality and consistency of their produced parts. By recording detailed information—from filament source to print parameters—this feature ensures the entire process is traceable and verifiable.
On the software front, the INTAMSUITE NEO slicing platform enables intelligent path planning and process adaptation, allowing for meticulous control over temperature and flow during the printing process. This cohesive approach is pivotal in meeting growing industrial demands and ultimately improves production consistency and reliability.
A Manufacturing Revolution
The introduction of the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO comes at a time when industries such as aerospace and robotics are increasingly relying on lightweight, high-performance materials. As applications grow more sophisticated, the challenges of achieving consistent material performance and production efficiency become more pronounced. INTAMSYS addresses these challenges with a solution that not only improves printing speed but also transforms printing into a fully optimized production workflow.
As Charles Han, founder and CEO of INTAMSYS, noted, “We didn’t just launch a faster printer; we built an automated, traceable, and scalable manufacturing unit.” This perspective encapsulates INTAMSYS's vision of reshaping manufacturing processes through advanced 3D printing technology. The FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO isn't just a printer; it’s an entire production system designed to empower smart factories of the future.
Conclusion
The FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO sets a new standard in the realm of FFF 3D printing, combining high-speed capabilities with the strength necessary for demanding industrial applications. This technology not only enhances the efficiency of manufacturers but also enables a new era of production that is intelligent and sustainable. Whether for sophisticated aerospace components or any industry that requires high-performance materials, the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO is positioned to be a game changer in the 3D printing landscape.
