Raise3D Forge1 – The Metal FFF 3D Printer

Alternative Choice for Metal Parts Production

 

Drive Innovation in Various of Industries with End-use Applications

 

Advantages of Green Parts Printed by Forge1

  • Consistently Produce Complex Parts
  • Achieve a Smooth Surface Finish
  • Allow for the Use of Dual Materials
  • Provide High Accuracy for Assembly
  • Reliably Handle Batch Printing

 

 

Scalable On-demand Production

Forge1 printers are cost-effective to build a print farm to manufacture parts on demand.

 

Reliable Metal Filaments Developed in Collaboration with BASF

Raise3D and Forward AM – brand of BASF 3D printing solution, collaborated closely throughout the development process to ensure the seamless interaction of the Forge1 and Ultrafuse® 316L and Ultrafuse® 17-4 metal filaments.

By Ultrafuse® 316L and Ultrafuse® 17-4 metal filaments:

  • Forge1 printers yielded high strength green parts allow long-range delivery for the subsequent process.
  • Forge1 printed green parts are widely compatible with MIM industry, thanks to the catalytic debinding technology from BASF since 1990.

A Complete MetalFuse Post-process Solution

Learn More

MetalFuse is a series of products consisting of Forge1, S200-C, and D200-E, which together provide a full production solution. This solution enables maximum confidentiality and delivery speed throughout the entire production process.

By separating the printing process from sintering and debinding, the MetalFuse system enables one system to pair with multiple Forge1 printers. This approach scales up the overall throughput of full metal parts by leveraging the large processing volume of S200-C and D200-E.

Specialized Slicer Edition for MetalFuse

Provide Templates for All Processes

ideaMaker for Metal provides validated metal filament templates which enable easy slicing.

Easy to Set Shrink Compensation

Unlike other FFF printing methods, metal printing requires a debinding and sintering process to obtain the final part. To ensure that the final part matches the intended size, the size of the green parts can be automatically set in the software to account for a certain amount of print shrinkage. This guarantees that the final size after debinding and sintering will be accurate and suitable for use.

MATERIAL

Material Type

Metals (Ultrafuse® 316L, Ultrafuse® 17-4PH)¹
Support layer material: aluminum oxide (Ultrafuse® Support Layer)²
Note: 1. Metal materials are used to print parts and supports.
2. The support layer material can’t be printed on its own and is only used for layer isolation, allowing for good separation between the support and the prints after sintering.
This product is intended exclusively for sales, distribution, and use within the European Union, Albania, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, North Macedonia, Norway, San Marino, Serbia, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom, and is only available for customers located in those countries.
