GROB unveils GMP300 AM machine for LMP technology using aluminium alloy wire as raw material

Situated in Germany, GROB Systems has launched its latest GMP300 Additive Manufacturing machine that uses Liquid Metal Printing (LMP) technology in a 300 x 300 x 300 mm in-built compartment to forge aluminium parts. The GMP300 requires aluminium alloy wires as a raw material since it is a powder-free machine which has been designed to safely create additively manufactured metal products having a net-like texture.

The GMP300 machine can be characterised by 3-axis kinematics which aid in faster and more precise production. GROB’s LMP methodology is confined broadly under the ISO/ASTM 52900:2015 category of Material Jetting.

GROB also claims that its LMP process builds a homogenous part microstructure with a generated score similar to or even higher than the value of the initial material.

The feedstock or raw material can be changed without any rigorous cleaning drill, ensuring the malleability of the LMP technique. The machine has a highly variable droplet diameter with the facility of replacing print heads and nozzles while the build-up process continues.

The manufacturing rate of the process has substantially increased due to the brilliant application of liquid metal, the decreased post-processing effort and the truth that the prices of the products are just meagrely more than the final level of the building board.

GROB particularly puts down the machine’s capability list which includes manufactured parts, for example, heat sinks, clamping rings, spindle covers, holders and distributors.
