Raise3D S200-C – The Vacuum Sintering Furnace

For Small Batch Indirect Metal Forming Processes, Metal Injection Molding (MIM), Binder Jetting (BJ), Feed/ Wire Metal Extrusion

Integrated Printing-Sintering Forming

The furnace is located in the same workspace as 3D printers/ MIM injection molding equipment to reduce product damage caused by material handling and improve the success rate. The equipment is powered by integrated DC heating, eliminating the need for a power distribution cabinet and has a smaller footprint.

 

Excellent Temperature Uniformity

The heating elements are evenly distributed around the sealed box, with temperature control in the upper and lower zones (5°C range at operating temperature), ensuring a narrow sintering temperature range for materials such as Inconel713 and 440, resulting in high sintering yields.

 

 

 

Negative Pressure Debinding

The sealed box is combined with an efficient two-stage wax collector. Negative pressure is used, introducing carrier gas while drawing air from inside to outside. This quickly and thoroughly removes adhesive volatiles and gases, preventing contamination of the furnace interior and exhaust pipes and facilitating disassembly and maintenance.

 

 

Wide Range of Supported Sintering Materials

S200-C supports a wide range of sintering materials, including mature and available metal 3D printing filaments, and mature materials that are already available in traditional MIM process. This strong material compatibility ensures that S200-C can be introduced into metal FFF printing, Binder Jetting, and MIM processes.

 

 

Safety Assurance

S200-C has CE/ UKCA/ FC safety certification. Automatically alarms and takes interlocking measures for abnormalities like insufficient cooling water, power outage, or insufficient gas volume.

 

 

Ease of Use

Simply input the process into the programmable controller in advance, start the device for automatic operation, with 22 channels (including cooling water monitoring), support for remote access, and no need for personnel to be on duty.

S200-C has a design that can support up to six trays of printed parts to be sintered altogether, providing more ease of use and flexibility.

 

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.

Hybrid Binder Jetting and MIM Development and Introduction

For the sintered part, after intensive testings, the average shrinkage ratio is 1.190% in length, 1.193% in width, 1.242% in height, no defects in visual, with the color showing as metal silver. This proves a verified sintering results by S200-C when introduced into the Binder Jetting process.

*Generally, the acceptable shrinkage ratio for a part of 30 mm of length is around 1.4%-1.5%.

Compared to traditional Binder Jetting and Metal Injection Molding sintering furnaces, S200-C has lower one-time investment in equipment, lower gas consumption, and lower single sintering cost. This high cost-efficiency ensures that S200-C has more advantage in various sintering scenarios such as material verification.

In addition, S200-C occupies a small area, and is more cost-efficient in terms of space.
