Sinterit has introduced the CADgen PRO, an automatic nitrogen generator specifically designed for selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing and other applications that require nitrogen. This system aims to provide stable nitrogen purity while simplifying operational processes.

How the CADgen PRO Works

The CADgen PRO employs a membrane-based nitrogen generation technology that utilizes compressed-air separation. Initially, air undergoes integrated pre-filtration to ensure cleanliness before it reaches the nitrogen generation stage. The system is equipped with electronic controls that monitor and adjust operating parameters in real-time, maintaining the desired nitrogen purity and flow.

Operational Benefits

  • Consistent Nitrogen Quality: The electronic control system helps maintain stable nitrogen purity, which is essential for effective SLS printing.
  • Minimized Manual Adjustments: Automatic calibration and integrated controls reduce the need for operator intervention, facilitating smoother daily operations.
  • Protection for Membrane: Features designed to protect the membrane from pressure shocks enhance the system's durability.
  • Easy Setup: The CADgen PRO is designed for straightforward installation, with all components integrated into a compact housing and controlled via a touchscreen interface.
  • Reduced Maintenance Requirements: This system is engineered to lower the frequency of necessary inspections and servicing compared to traditional nitrogen generators.
  • Continuous Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of key components allows for early detection of issues, supporting proactive maintenance efforts.

Applications and Compatibility

The CADgen PRO is particularly advantageous for SLS printers that feature nitrogen chambers, such as the Lisa X. It accommodates a variety of materials that necessitate a controlled atmosphere during printing, including PA11 Onyx and PA11 Carbon Fiber. By providing a reliable in-house nitrogen source, the CADgen PRO enhances the usability of these materials while ensuring optimal print quality.

Conclusion

The CADgen PRO nitrogen generator offers features that enhance the operation of SLS 3D printing. By ensuring a stable nitrogen supply and reducing operational burdens, it supports the effective use of SLS technology.
