Raise3D Open Filament Program 2.0

E2CF especially designed for printing with composite filaments

Engineering filaments, especially high-performance composite filaments give 3D printing professionals many competitive edges. E2CF is specially designed for composite filaments, wear resistance and moisture control are important by printing with composite filaments, reliability, repeatability and reproducibility are the keys to the high-performance printed part. Optimized and fine-tunned, and even customized printing profiles for OFP 2.0 filaments are favored by many industrial customers. All of these mentioned above, we can trust Raise3D E2CF. – Dean Di, R&D Engineer at BASF 3D Printing Solutions

INTRODUCING RAISE3D METALFUSE

Raise3D MetalFuse, a 3D Printing full
in-house solution, using Ultrafuse® Metal Filaments 

“The collaboration with BASF Forward AM is a milestone in Raise3D’s history, and a solid step towards our vision of offering a perfect ecosystem to facilitate Flexible Manufacturing. Our Raise3D MetalFuse system combined with Ultrafuse® Metal Filaments from BASF Forward AM offers a solution to additive manufacturing of metal parts that is easier, safer, cleaner, cheaper, and faster, than the current AM metal parts productions, making it accessible to everyone using those solutions. In many cases, we have also confirmed that Raise3D MetalFuse can be competitive with MIM, which makes us confident that MetalFuse can represent a breakthrough in metal parts production”

Raise3D MetalFuse is the first complete in-house solution optimized for Ultrafuse® Metal Filaments
Besides the benefits resulting from the great properties of these filaments, being a complete in-house solution has the additional advantages of:
• Speed, by avoiding the need to interact with third parties, substantial time can be saved, making it possible to go from the initial “idea” to the “final part” in a couple of days;
• Minimizing the handling of the ‘green parts’;
• Ensuring full confidentiality, by having the full process in-house, as opposed to when the debinding and sintering need to be done externally.

“Metal FFF offers great advantage to the customers; it is affordable, easy to use and eliminates a very complex step in comparison to other Metal AM techniques like powder handling. According to Hizal, “MIM technology can be the best solution to manufacture parts in large volumes, whereas Metal FFF can be used to produce more sophisticated designs in small and medium size batches. We are very impressed by the capabilities of MetalFuse ecosystem and convinced that Raise3D MetalFuse together with our Ultrafuse® Metal Filaments, will deliver excellent value to customers. We are installing our first Raise3D MetalFuse unit in our facilities in Shanghai soon. We will continue working closely with Raise3D to further optimize the MetalFuse ecosystem”.
