Additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly important in metalworking. A part of this process is the separation of 3D printed parts from the base plate. Significantly before 3D sawing became a trend, MEBA developed a concept which offers faster processing times and excellent cutting results at a lower cost.
The MEBA concept is based on the straight cutting saws of the MEBAeco product family. They stand for latest machine technology, high efficiency and best cutting results. The metal bandsaw is equipped with a special clamping device for taking up the mounting plates and can release the 3D printed workpieces exactly on customers own mounting plate.
The process looks like this: The 3D parts are printed on a plate. The customer fixes the plate on the MEBA device, which is optionally moveable and therefore precisely alignable by the linear guidances.
Currently there are two different sizes of plates are available: a small and a large dimension. As soon as the plate is adjusted, the sawing task starts.
MEBA3D band saws remove the 3D printed workpieces fast and precise from the plate. The part falls and can be removed for further processing if necessary.
At the end of the sawing process the device plate will be disassembled and can be used for further prints only with little rework. With minimal effort and a quick sawing cut the 3D parts can be gently removed from the plate.
Compared with conventional productions processes such as wire eroding, the MEBA 3D sawing concept is extremely uncomplicated with only a few operating steps: Just clamping and sawing. The acquisition and maintenance costs are significantly lower. The long service life of the sawblade keeps the cost effort low.
Utilization and amortization of the saw are additionally favored by the fact that MEBA3D saws also can be used for standard sawing tasks with low retrofitting effort.
