Now, nothing stands in the way of mass printing high-performance polymers the next step leads into an age of toolless manufacturing. Robert Gmeiner Managing Director and CTO of Cubicure After three decades of stereolithography, finally an industrially scalable process has been found.” Even the width and length of the printing platform no longer have an influence on process performance. Many factors of the building process such as process forces are now decoupled from part geometry and building platform occupancy.
In this printing process, both the material intake and the detaching of printed polymer layers from the carrier film are scalable. “This is the essential breakthrough in the industrial upscaling of lithographic printing processes. This means that the new system already has access to a wide process window and a broad range of photopolymers.Ībove: Cubicure Cerion’s new printing concept enables the additive mass production of industrial-grade polymer parts/Image Source: Cubicure GmbH In addition, Cerion relies on Cubicure’s proven Hot Lithography technology. Bernhard Busetti, process engineer and product manager for AM systems at Cubicure. “Due to the type of processing with a traversing printing head and exceedingly precise exposure control, there is no variance in manufacturing precision distributed over the build area,” confirms Dr. Polymer parts are printed with an optical accuracy of 50 x 50 μm2 on a platform measuring one meter by 30 centimeters and with unprecedented reproducibility. The large-scale system’s printing concept is scalable in its physical dimensions and entails a completely novel understanding of throughput and production quality in lithographic 3D printing.Ĭerion 3D printer is able to print a few bulky or thousands of small parts in the same consistently high quality. With Cerion 3D printer, Cubicure instead introduces a new printing technology featuring a mobile printing head and a revolving resin carrier film.

The industrial serial printing of polymer parts necessitates a radical departure from familiar concepts of lithographic additive manufacturing such as resin baths or material vats.

It also opened a Cerion production plant in a bid to completely cover the digital manufacturing process from prototyping to industrial series production.Ĭerion was developed by Cubicure over the past few years and is already in use with pilot customers. We give each other so much space and understanding and patience.Above: Cubicure launched its large-scale Cerion 3D printer earlier this month/Image Source: Cubicure GmbHĬubicure, the Austrian 3D printing company, supplemented their machine portfolio with the addition of a large-scale Cerion 3D printer that provides industrial companies with an essential element needed to fully digitize their production chains. Mendes subsequently told the magazine via email that the twosome “give each extreme amount of patience and understanding.” He explained: “I think the truth is that when you’re struggling with mental health, it turns you sometimes into the version of yourself that you don’t like to be - and kind of loving and accepting your person through that, and being there for them through that, is life-changing. I’m just struggling and I’m feeling kind of anxious.’ That level of transparency really helps a lot.” I think even just the language of being like, ‘Hey, I’m sorry that I’ve been distant with you or snappy with you. I’ve got to do a session.’ And he’ll do the same thing to me. “I’ll be venting or ranting about something, and he’ll be like, ‘Have you talked to X about it?’ And I’ll be like, ‘No. I think that’s why we can trust each other so much, because it’s a very 3D human relationship,” she told Glamour in her October cover story. “For better, for worse, we’re very transparent with each other. More recently, the former Fifth Harmony member got candid about the fact that the twosome both go to therapy and were open to going to couples therapy in the future. Here’s to more joy, more friendship, and more love.” In her own post, Cabello wrote, “Happy anniversary Kuko. “Happy 2 years my baby,” Mendes captioned a snap of them kissing at the time. The duo celebrated their second anniversary in July. I don’t know, at the same time, I know we are really young so I don’t want to jump, like, insanely fast, but I think when you find your person, you feel and you know that you have found your person.” “She’s been one of my best friends since I was, like, 15 years old. “I think for me it’s always been if I’m not willing to talk about that stuff then I kind of check out a little bit, and I don’t know, I really think when you know, you know,” he said at the time.
