Nowadays, additive manufacturing has become an indispensable part of production in the world. Many manufacturers and service providers using traditional machine tools have begun to try and even mature the use of additive manufacturing, and their use has also ranged from ordinary rapid prototyping. Desktop non-metal printers, updated to high-end materials and final part applications.
Markforged
In the process of promoting the development of the industry, it is also helping different users to enjoy the advantages and convenience brought by additive manufacturing.
One of the largest HAAS (hardware manufacturing service providers) in North America: TITAN, recently announced that it has officially entered the ranks of additive manufacturing, and introduced the video of TITAN out of the box using Markforged Metal X metal kits on the official portal website.
The most attractive thing about Markforged Metal X to TITAN is undoubtedly that Metal X has a more flexible operating space than other metal printing on the market, one-click switching of materials, simple site requirements, low learning cost process, etc.
In addition to this, Metal X is now also greener. This is all thanks to the use of BOFA filter equipment in the exhaust direction.
Markforged Metal X 3D printingThe system requires equipment exhaust ventilation to manage exhaust emissions from Metal X systems (specifically Wash-1, Sinter-1 and Sinter-2). The smoke extraction and ventilation requirements of Markforged’s customer factories can be met by installing filter smoke extraction technology, which can be configured according to your space and can adequately filter the waste generated by the Wash-1, Sinter-1 and Sinter-2 of the Metal X system of the equipment. possibly exhaust and then unload them back into the production space. Markforged has identified a filter fume extraction device from BOFA (BOFA Americas, Inc.) that you are free to consider and evaluate to meet your Metal X ventilation needs.
What exactly is BOFA?
BOFA is a compact unit with fine particle, HEPA filter, and activated carbon filter. The unit also includes a VOC sensor and alarm.
Model Name AD Oracle SAIQ with VOC Sensor Part Number: 8130106024-1275
Dimensions 29.33″ x 17.72″ x 20.28″
(excluding duct space)
*Note: Markforged has not verified the BOFA Division’s Code of Practice. The data and information contained herein are provided to Markforged by BOFA Americas, Inc.
This device from BOFA is designed to adsorb and filter exhaust and particulate emissions.
During sinter-1 or sinter-2 runs, argon flowed at a peak velocity of approximately 2 CFM, and the BOFA device did not filter argon. Because argon may replace breathable oxygen, HVAC specialists should be consulted for safe operation to address facility guideline requirements, including, for example, assessing room capacity, air exchange, ventilation, and specific reference to BOFA unit installation recommendations for hypoxia alarms.
summary:
Markforged’s Metal X itself has the advantages of low installation requirements, convenient material replacement, safety and other advantages, plus it is attached to the Digital Forge platform, all equipment can be monitored in real time and the same platform ensures the whole process from printing and cleaning to sintering quality assurance. Now there is a filter (optional) through BOFA, which can make more environmentally friendly
