Highlights at Formnext 2024

Formnext 2024 brought together 3D printing enthusiasts, innovators, and industry leaders, and Create it REAL was proud to take center stage with our advancements. From non-planar printing for exceptional surface quality to enhancing part strength, our booth at Hall 11, B69, was excitedly buzzing. Here’s what we showcased:

Non-planar printing: A leap beyond 2D layers

We unveiled non-planar printing, an innovation that enables 3D printers to move in all three dimensions. This breakthrough enhances surface aesthetics by eliminating the “layer staircase” effect, delivering smooth finishes ideal for applications like orthopedic insoles. With our unique slicing engine, the technology is advanced and user-friendly, adapting effortlessly to your printer’s capabilities.

Automatic extraction: Enabling 24/7 production

We demonstrated how a regular printer could be transformed into a round-the-clock production unit with automatic extraction. This feature optimizes productivity, paving the way for scalable and autonomous manufacturing. No need for a highly complex robot arm

Stronger 3D printing: Partner-powered advancements

We showcased two cutting-edge techniques developed in collaboration with industry leaders:

  • Voxelfill (with Aim3D): Achieving isotropic tensile strength, with up to 81% of XY strength in the Z-direction.
  • InterLace (with Addman): A groundbreaking interlocking method for enhanced part strength and durability.

Programmable FoamⓇ: Comfort and sustainability redefined

Programmable Foam continues to shine as a solution for applications like custom made automotive seats, wheelchair seating, and orthopedic insoles. With precision manufacturing and drastically reduced waste, this innovation exemplifies our commitment to both performance and sustainability.
