Farsoon has unveiled a new technology that enables the creation of inverted conical structures and horizontal circular holes without any support structures. The Support Reduction System (SRS) is designed to address a key challenge in additive manufacturing, which involves internal stresses and deformation during the cooling phase of metal powder bed fusion leading to part failures, particularly in overhanging structures.
The SRS technology is compatible with all Farsoon metal powder bed machines and can create inverted conical structures with a 20-25°C temperature range and support-free horizontal circular holes up to 50mm in diameter. This reduction in support structures can result in cost savings in material, printing, and post-processing time, as well as reduced risk of part damage. Additionally, it allows design engineers to explore more complex designs.
Farsoon reports that using SRS, they were able to print a closed impeller made with IN718 material 33% faster and 25% cheaper compared to traditional methods. The technology has also been applied to various parts such as combustion chambers, valve bodies, and nozzles using materials like titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, and stainless steel.
SRS is just one of several new product, process and application announcements made by Farsoon this year. The company also introduced the FS721M-8-CAMS metal 3D printing solution, the Designer golf club head, and the Deep Blue Aerospace combustion chamber.
