Weerg Insights: The future of 3D printing and CNC

3D Printing Technology: Discover the Weerg guide

Written by Weerg staff | Aug 22, 2023

In the modern landscape of manufacturing, 3D printing technology is emerging as a revolutionary force. With a wide range of techniques available, it is crucial to understand the specifics of each. In this guide, we will explore the 3D printing technologies adopted by Weerg, outlining the benefits and applications of each.

MJF (MultiJet Fusion): Innovation in 3D printing

What is MJF?
MultiJet Fusion (MJF) technology, developed by HP, is characterised by its ability to produce complex low-cost parts quickly.

How does MJF work?
MJF uses an inkjet die to apply fusing agents to a bed of nylon powder. These agents are then melted by heating elements, creating a solid layer.

Benefits with Weerg:
With our advanced HP 5210 MJF printers, we guarantee accuracy, speed, reduced costs, and reliability, making this 3D printing technology ideal for a wide range of applications.

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling): Versatitlity in 3D printing

What is FDM?
FDM is one of the most popular 3D printing technologies, ideal for prototyping and early design project development.

How does FDM work?
A slicing software processes the 3D model, "slicing" it into layers and generating a G-code file. Then, the FDM printer melts the plastic filament and extrudes it layer by layer.

Benefits with Weerg:
FDM technology is ideal when mechanical properties are essential. It offers materials replacement materials and performance, making it an excellent choice for functional parts.

MSLA (Mask Stereolithography technology) with 4KSPER: Precision and accuracy in 3D printing

What is MSLA with 4KSPER?
MSLA is an advanced form of stereolithography that uses an LED array and an LCD photomask. The 4KSPER, developed by Weerg's R&D department, accelerates the printing process.

How does MSLA + 4KSPER work?
MSLA creates solids by exposing one layer at a time using light. This technology uses an LED array as the light source,  in conjunction with an LCD photomask to shape the image of the light.

Benefits with Weerg:
With 12 customised Lherr 4000 printers, Weerg offers high-precision details, perfect for prototypes or aesthetic parts.
