LUXBEAM® RAPID SYSTEM – LRS-MCx WX NIRSCALABLE SUBSYSTEM FOR LARGE BUILD AREAS

Speed, resolution,and build area for PBF
The LUXBEAM® Rapid System LRS-MCx WX NIR removes
the traditional limitations of polymer-based powder bed
fusion (PBF). With unprecedented near-infrared power
and flexible static or scrolling arrangement options,the subsystem opens new doors for high-throughput,
high-resolution additive manufacturing using PBF.

LUXBEAM® RAPID SYSTEM – LRS-MCx WX NIRUNPRECEDENTED POWER
Visitech introduces the LRS-MCx WX NIR light engine, providing unprecedented near-infrared power of more than 100 W
in the projected 2D image. For polymer-based powder bedfusion (PBF), the subsystem offers a path toward high productivity systems. An alternative to classical selective laser sintering (SLS) technologies – where the polymer material is heatedup sequentially, point-by-point, and layer-by-layer, the LUXBEAM® Rapid System LRS-MCx WX NIR rationalizes towards apure layer-by-layer approach, with instant 2D imaging.

ACCELERATING POWDER BED FUSIONThe liquid-cooled LRS-MCx WX NIR modules offer stackability
for stitched images in static, step-and-flash, or scrolling configurations. For single-pass linear motion systems, this enables
the highest manufacturing throughput. In addition, alignment
features grant pixel-precise alignment of the modules. Featuring the highly robust and reliable high-resolution DLP650LNIRWXGA chipset, the system operates with an external, fibercoupled NIR laser in the 800-1200 nm range.

DIRECT IMAGE SINTERING (DIS): THE NEW PBF METHOD
Visitech’s new DIS concept uses DLP and powerful IR laser diode arrays to substantially increase print speed, resolution, andbuild area over traditional polymer PBF methods. Exposing
the entire print layer in one shot is the critical driver of build
speed. Applying Visitech’s scrolling subsystem, stacking multiple, powerful IR light engines in a motion stage that scrolls
them over a vast build area, effectively removes establishedpolymer-based PBF limitations. With the DIS concept’s ability
to maintain high resolution across the build area, a world ofopportunities opens for innovative system builders seeking
actual mass production capabilities for their polymer powder
bed fusion systems.

LUXBEAM® RAPID SYSTEM – LRS-MCx WX NIRUNIQUE LIGHT SOURCE
The LRS-MCx WX NIR light engine comprises Visitech’s proprietary integrated laser diode module,IgnitIR®. The module provides maximum control
in throughput and safeguards system components such as the DMD to perform their best – forstatic or dynamic implementations.
ADVANCED CONTROLLER
The LAMA STANDARD software package and API
allow you to choose any motion controller in theirbasic configuration for the LRS-MCx WX NIR. 10G
bandwidth even allows streaming. For advancedusers, the LAMA PRO software version allows advanced operation modes, including subpixelation(improved surface finish) and edge blending for
perfect stitching. However, achieving maximum
performance and complete functionality requires
a dedicated motion controller configuration.
LUXBEAM® LRS-MCx MOTION STAGE: PLUG-AND-PLAY SOLUTION FOR MULTIHEAD SCROLLINGENLARGING THE BUILD AREA
While introducing multi-head scrolling as themost advanced solution for scaling up 3D printstereolithography systems productivity, Visitech
adds a plug-and-play reference stage to its portfolio. It is designated for expert static 3D print
machine developers and manufacturers, whowill find that the LRS-MCx motion stage opens
for new business opportunity exploration. Implementing scalable motion systems allows forenlarged build areas.
