The new machine &#8211; called VX7000 &#8211; is tailored to the requirements of an international\u00a0 industrial partner and will feature a build volume of approximately 7,000 x 7,000 x 1,000 mm\u00b3.<\/p>\n<p>With the <strong>VX7000<\/strong>, voxeljet introduces the next evolutionary stage of large-format binder jet 3D printing systems at a customer site \u2013 engineered for industrial-scale operation and high-volume production environments.<br \/>\nBuilding on the proven VX4000, the industry\u2019s long-standing reference model, the VX7000 sets new standards in precision, scalability, and efficiency for printed sand, ceramics and other suitable materials.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;168216&#8243;]<strong>Revolutionary Machine Concept<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the core of the VX7000 lies a kind of <strong>reversed build concept<\/strong>: instead of a descending build platform, the foundation of the printing process remains completely stationary. The recoater and printhead units move <strong>upwards layer by layer<\/strong> along a precisely guided <strong>Z-axis<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThis design enables an <strong>extra-large build volume of up to 7 \u00d7 7 \u00d7 1 meters<\/strong>, handling <strong>over 60 tons of sand<\/strong> with uncompromising precision and surface quality.<\/p>\n<p>On request, both the <strong>build length and height<\/strong> can be adapted to specific customer needs without redesigning the whole system.<br \/>\nEach VX7000 allows partially automated <strong>job-by-job build area customization<\/strong>, saving time, material, and energy.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;133024&#8243;]<strong>High-Performance Printing System<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The VX7000 is equipped as standard with <strong>four printheads<\/strong>, each approximately <strong>1 meter wide<\/strong> and featuring <strong>7,168 nozzles<\/strong>. This configuration achieves <strong>layer times below 100 seconds<\/strong>.<br \/>\nDepending on customer requirements, the system can be <strong>expanded with additional printheads<\/strong> to boost throughput or reduced to lower initial investment costs.<br \/>\nA central, pressurized, large-diameter <strong>binder supply line<\/strong> ensures fast and uniform filling of all printheads, contributing to consistent part quality and process stability.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;421909&#8243;]<strong>Intelligent Material Logistics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sand supply is managed through a <strong>central feed point<\/strong>, easily connectable to customer-side silos.<br \/>\nAn industrial mixer blends the base sand with activator and reclaimed sand before it is gently and dust-free distributed via a <strong>cartesian robotic system<\/strong> into several buffer silos.<br \/>\nThese silos continuously feed the recoater -fully independent from the printing process \u2013 with perfectly conditioned sand, guaranteeing <strong>uniform layer quality<\/strong> throughout the entire build process.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;256893&#8243;]<strong>Precision Engineering for Maximum Accuracy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The VX7000 incorporates several design innovations that maximize dimensional accuracy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A <strong>cast-concrete build platform<\/strong> mounted on rails \u2013 offering superior rigidity and minimal thermal expansion. The use of rails enables the platform to be moved smoothly out of the system into an unpacking position, regardless of the quality of the ground and despite a high load of 60 tons or more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ultra-stiff tubular frame constructions<\/strong> for both the printhead and recoater bridges, featuring fixed and floating bearings to compensate for temperature-induced expansion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Form-fit direct drives<\/strong> that maintain high stiffness and eliminate the need for costly and sensitive linear encoders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A <strong>Z-axis system composed of eight vertical column drives<\/strong> \u2013 four per side \u2013 each using ball screw spindles and electronically synchronized servo drives. The massive cast-iron column bases rest on adjustable feet for independent alignment and simplified installation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;173207&#8243;]<strong>Efficiency Through Smart Cleaning Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To minimize binder consumption and reduce operating costs, the VX7000 integrates a <strong>multi-stage printhead cleaning system<\/strong>.<br \/>\nBinder expelled during purge routines can be <strong>collected and reintroduced<\/strong> into the system.<br \/>\nAdditionally, a <strong>modular recoater cleaning station<\/strong> ensures rapid maintenance cycles; even if one module fails, the printer continues operation with a reduced build area \u2013 ensuring maximum uptime.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;177330&#8243;]<strong>Next-Generation Recoater Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As with most voxeljet systems, the VX7000 uses an advanced <strong>vibrating blade recoater<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThis new generation consists of <strong>multiple independently driven subunits<\/strong>, electronically synchronized to act as a single cohesive unit.<br \/>\nThe result: <strong>no harmful vibration effects<\/strong>, perfectly even powder layers, superior print quality at industrial speed and a versatile job width by switching recoater subunits on and off.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;155307&#8243;]The<strong> VX7000<\/strong> defines a new era in industrial binder jet 3D printing:<br \/>\nmore precise, modular, and resource-efficient \u2013 ready to take large-format additive manufacturing to the next dimension.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221;
