3D printed Manta fascinates at AM Forum Berlin
The unique selling point of Kurtz Ersa´s 3D printers is the “Perfect Angle Printing” manufacturing technology. This was very well received, not least at the Additive Manufacturing Forum in Berlin in March.
From March 20 to 21, Kurtz´s Additive Manufacturing division was one of 53 exhibitors at the AM Forum Berlin, Europe´s leading user conference and exhibitor platform for industrial additive manufacturing. The Kurtz Ersa Additive Manufacturing division presented its technological and mechanical engineering expertise with a large number of exhibits as well as in extensive and in-depth technical discussions. Visitors to the booth showed great interest in the entry-level model Kurtz Ersa Alpha 140, particularly praising the filigree structures that can be realized with the Alpha 140, which were used, among other things, in the bottle openers distributed as promotional gifts.
Manta ray as a crowd puller
A particular eye-catcher at the Kurtz Ersa booth and a much-noticed exhibit at the trade fair was the FlexiRay – a manta ray made of stainless steel with movable wing segments and a span of 620 mm, which was produced on the Kurtz Ersa Flying Ray prototype system. Kurtz Ersa´s “Perfect Angle Printing” process, the almost right-angled laser beam, and the constant distance from the optics to the powder bed combined with a large installation space met with recognition and positive feedback. The Additive Manufacturing department returned to Kreuzwertheim with plenty of positive impressions, new impulses from interesting discussions and many great presentations on industrial applications. The event provided the perfect opportunity to see familiar faces from the 3D community and make new contacts for future projects.
