...ally occurring in the areas of handling, build chamber and material. For example, alphaCam GmbH, Schorndorf/Germany, is using a new high-impact, heat-resistant polycarbonate (PC) for making functional prototypes. It builds the prototypes in an FDM Titan system made by Stratasys, Eden Prairie/USA. It also plans to use glassfibre-filled PC and even polyphenylsulfone (PSU) for high-heat specifications. Protoform Konrad Hofmann GmbH, Fürth/Germany, presented a process, which, although not new, does ...

The belt-driven versions have been updated with new drives and a choice of injection units. Two-platens Propagate Demag will roll out its new Titan series hydromechanical two-platen line, which will ultimately range from 11000kN to 40000kN, with the 30000-kN size coming out in mid-2005 and the 40000kN model in 2006. The line combines the clamp and injection unit from Demag’s Maxx series wit...

...nsion of its production line in Shelby, North Carolina/USA, which had originally been planned for 2005, increasing its capacity by 40% to 8400t/a by 2004 (Table1). In 2004, DuPont took over the LCP sector from Eastman and now sells the former Titan product line under the name Zenite 5000. These materials round off DuPont’s LCP portfolio with grades showing extremely low warpage, high weld line strength and excellent impact resistance. Developing Materials Tailored to Demands Lead-free solderi...

... sheets have been available for a long time now, since recently they have been marketed under the name of Spectar by Barlo Plastics as part of a strategic alliance in Europe. New on the market since April this year is a liquid crystal polymer called Titan. It is superior to previous LCPs in terms of such critical properties as heat resistance, warp and knit-line strength, and viscosity. Preferred applications are in electrical engineering, electronics, and medical engineering. A biological aliph...
