Large-format 3D hybrid machine for printing and 5-axis milling in a single solution
CMS Kreator Ares is the hybrid solution that combines Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) and 5-axis CNC milling in a single machining center.
Kreator Ares combines the speed and design freedom of 3D printing with the precision and reliability of a CNC machining center. It prints thermoplastic polymers, including fiber-reinforced grades, and brings them to the required tolerances in the same setup, with shorter lead times and lower raw material consumption than traditional methods.
The pellet extruder connects automatically to the spindle. This makes the changeover from milling to printing fast, with no head change and no manual intervention. Material feeding is also fully automatic.
Kreator Ares produces large-size molds, patterns, tooling and prototypes for the aerospace, automotive and marine industries.
Advantages
-
Highly flexible
CMS Kreator incorporates technology that allows it to print at 0°, 45° and 90°. This machine can use a range of material types: PLA, PP, PET, PA, ABS, PC, PEI, PESU and many others.
-
PickUp Solution
The extruder travels on a mobile cart and docks semi-automatically to the quill of the 5-axis machining center, enabling the switch from milling to large-format 3D printing in just a few steps and with a limited investment.
-
Material Saving
At least 80% material saving for manufacturing a part, compared to current manufacturing technologies and competitors
-
Unique software
The new slicing software developed exclusively for CMS simplifies the process and temperature control, thereby reducing printing times and improving production workflow
