EOS FORMIGA P100 / P110 / P110 Velocis / P110 FDR
Small, but powerful!
EOS FORMIGA – economical laser sintering of polyamide, polypropylene and rubber parts with amazing precision. This allows the customers of 1zu1 to benefit from even more accurate 3D printing processes for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing.
The resulting components are not only suitable for use as prototypes: a layer thickness of 100 µm and a laser focus of 0.45 mm ensure outstanding part accuracy. This makes the term “additive manufacturing” live up to its meaning: Why? Now, economical production of small batches and individualized products with complex geometries is possible in the shortest possible time. And if you want it even more precise, 1zu1 also has an FDR system with a layer thickness of 40 µm and a laser focus of 0.22 mm.
Technical innovations behind the EOS Formiga
- Extremely small laser focus enables an exact wall thickness of only 0.45 mm (0.22 mm for FDR system)
- Maximum surface quality with vertical walls
- Precise and consistent component accuracy through accurate temperature measurement and fast heating control in the plant
- Low layer thickness of 100 µm (40 µm for FDR system)
- High productivity
- Optimum stability and functionality for film hinges
- Excellent “snap and fit” function for assemblies
Strength through detail
The particular strength of FORMIGA systems lies above all in the details: a fine laser spot makes it possible to produce structural layers of only 40 - 100 µm and wall thicknesses of only 0.22 - 0.45 mm “thickness”. With dimensions this small, the layers virtually disappear. What's more, the extreme contour fidelity of the Formiga systems creates surfaces that appear almost smooth to the naked eye.
EOS FORMIGA P110 Velocis
- System construction space: 200 x 250 x 330 mm (L/D/H)
- Construction layers: 100 µm
- Wall thickness: 0.45 mm
- Improved heating and software control for preheating of the material
- Better heat management for more accurate and low-warpage components
- Even more homogeneous component quality
FAQ
EOS P100 FORMIGA was the world's first series production system of this type.
- As a pioneer in our field, we at 1zu1installed this innovative technology as early as May 2007.
- The next development stage P110 has been in operation since 2013.
- In 2018, the P110 Velocis generation was added to the 1zu1 production range.
- The Fine Detail Resolution (FDR) technology followed in 2020.
