Industrial 3D printer manufacturer Titan Robotics has announced the launch of its new Atlas-HS hybrid additive manufacturing system. The system comes complete with a tool changer that works with both a pellet extrusion head and a 3-axis milling toolhead, enabling 3D printed parts to be machined during and after the printing process.
Known for its signature pellet extrusion 3D printers, Titan Robotics already has an extensive portfolio of Atlas 3D printers. According to the company, the use of pellets can slash production times down by a factor of 10x when compared to filament extrusion, with print speeds as fast as 30,000mm per minute. With lead times reduced from days to a matter of hours, customers benefit from higher throughput production at lower operational costs.
The latest entry to the Atlas series is built for both functional prototyping and end-use production, with primary applications being molds, tools, jigs, and fixtures. Aimed at manufacturers in everything from aerospace to consumer goods, the Atlas-HS strives to be adaptable.
Expanding on the existing line of systems, the 3D printer features a heated build chamber complete with high-temperature extrusion capabilities. As such, it is designed to be compatible with a whole host of high-performance polymers and composites, including CF-PEI, GF-PEKK, Nylons, and more. Users also have the option to add one of Titan’s filament extruders to the gantry alongside the default pellet head, granting a level of flexibility in the production process.
Like the rest of Titan Robotics’ systems, the Atlas-HS operates on a 3-axis CNC motion control system and a welded steel frame. Users can also incorporate custom features like I/O sensors, air filtration, and material dryers as and when needed. Features unique to the 3D printer include a chip collection system and spindle sizes up to ¼” in diameter and 4” in tool length.
