Spee3Dcell Enables Scalable Production
Spee3D, a manufacturer of metal-based additive manufacturing technology, has launched Spee3Dcell - the world's first metal 3D production cell.
Spee3D, a manufacturer of metal-based additive manufacturing technology, has launched Spee3Dcell - the world's first metal 3D production cell.
Spee3Dcell combines a Spee3D printer with a heat treatment furnace and a computer numerical control (CNC) three-axis milling machine. In just over six minutes, the machine can print sparkless copper hammers, finish them and assemble them, the company says. Spee3Dcell enables significantly faster, lower-cost, and more scalable production than traditional casting or other 3D printing techniques.
