INTAMSYS Unveils FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO: A Revolution in 3D Printing

INTAMSYS, a global leader in industrial FFF 3D printing, recently announced the launch of its next-generation 3D printer, the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO, at the Formnext trade show. This innovative printer is specifically designed for high-performance materials like PAEK, aiming to redefine continuous production in the additive manufacturing sector.

A Step Towards Production

Over the past decade, FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) technology has evolved significantly, transitioning from prototyping to the production of functional parts. INTAMSYS has played a pioneering role in this transformation, offering robust solutions for high-temperature 3D printing. The introduction of the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO marks a critical milestone as the company transitions from merely “printing well” to enabling continuous production using advanced PAEK materials.

The journey began in 2016 when INTAMSYS launched its first high-temperature printer, the FUNMAT HT. At that time, while industry standards still revolved around PLA, INTAMSYS set a new benchmark by successfully printing PEEK – a high-performance thermoplastic widely recognized for its strength and thermal stability. This innovative spirit continued as the company expanded its materials compatibility beyond PEEK, introducing various technical thermoplastics and strengthening its market position.

Performance Features

The FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO is not just a step forward in the FUNMAT line; it represents a comprehensive upgrade in the manufacturing of high-performance materials. Significant features of this new system include:

• - Enhanced Printing Speed: Up to four times faster than its predecessors.
• - Increased Z-axis Strength: Achieving over 40 MPa, doubling the structural integrity.
• - Dual 3 kg Active Drying Filament Boxes: Ensuring optimal material conditions during printing.
• - RFID Material Recognition: Enhancing operational efficiency and material tracking.
• - INTAMQuality™ Traceability System: This innovative feature records every aspect of the printing process, creating a unique digital fingerprint for each part produced. This capability ensures complete traceability and quality assurance across multiple printers and batches.

Software Innovations

To meet the rising demands of industry, the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO is integrated with INTAMSUITE NEO™ Slicing Platform, facilitating intelligent path planning. This software allows for precise control over temperature, flow, and path settings, ensuring reliable and powerful material printing with every cycle.

Meeting Industrial Challenges

The manufacturing industry is currently facing a transformative era, with new markets requiring lightweight, high-strength components. Applications in humanoid robotics, eVTOLs (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing), and aerospace sectors necessitate materials that can withstand extreme conditions while maintaining performance. However, achieving consistent material properties and production efficiency on a large scale remains a key challenge.

The FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO is engineered to bridge this gap, moving high-performance 3D material printing from the laboratory into mass production. This printer system is designed as an all-in-one solution for industrial series production, shifting the paradigm from simply high-performance printing to actual high-performance material printing.

A New Era in Manufacturing

Charles Han, the founder and CEO of INTAMSYS, emphasized that this new printer offers more than just enhanced speed: "We haven’t just launched a faster printer; we’ve developed an automated, traceable, and scalable manufacturing unit. The real value of industrial 3D printing lies in its ability to reshape the logic of production. The FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO signifies a technological advancement and a step towards scalable, intelligent, and sustainable manufacturing for global producers."

Jimmy Yuan, Product Director at INTAMSYS, added that every design detail of the 310 APOLLO focuses on reliability in production quality, ensuring users receive not only better prints but also trusted production capabilities.

Conclusion

The FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO sets a new standard for FFF systems working with high-performance materials. It is not merely a 3D printer but a comprehensive production system designed to support the smart factories of tomorrow. With offices worldwide and a robust network of partners, INTAMSYS continues to drive the industrialization of FFF 3D printing, empowering industries to manufacture the future efficiently and sustainably.
