INTAMSYS Launches the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO: A New Era in 3D Printing
Shifting from Prototyping to Continuous Production
FRANKFURT, Germany – INTAMSYS, a leader in industrial FFF 3D printing technology, has officially introduced its innovative 3D printer, the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO, at Formnext. This next-generation machine marks a significant leap in the world of high-performance materials.
Over the last ten years, the realm of FFF 3D printing has transitioned from merely creating prototypes to producing functional parts. As a pioneer in this industry, INTAMSYS has played a crucial role in advancing technology and materials used in manufacturing.
Back in 2016, INTAMSYS introduced its first high-temperature printer, the FUNMAT HT. It revolutionized the way manufacturers viewed PEEK printing, setting a remarkable precedent during a time when achieving success with PLA was the norm. This innovative approach not only garnered attention but also established INTAMSYS as a frontrunner in PEEK 3D printing.
Since that breakthrough, INTAMSYS has broadened its material compatibility, embracing not just PEEK but the extensive PAEK family and other advanced engineering-grade thermoplastics. This evolution has further cemented their leadership within the industrial FFF segment.
The FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO: Engineered for Excellence
INTAMSYS has transcended beyond simply achieving quality prints; it has ventured into enabling continuous production with PAEK materials. The FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO represents this ambition and signals a new chapter where high-performance materials move seamlessly from research and development phases into exceptional production capabilities.
This latest addition to the FUNMAT series is not just an incremental upgrade; it represents a system-level enhancement in the manufacturing of high-performance materials. With advanced features, the 310 APOLLO showcases impressive capabilities, including up to 4x faster printing speeds and more than 2x increased strength along the Z-axis, surpassing 40 MPa.
Highlighted features of the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO include:
- Dual 3kg active-drying filament boxes for sustained performance
- RFID technology for automated material recognition
- The newly introduced INTAMQuality traceability system for precise monitoring
These elements work together to guarantee stability and consistency during production runs.
On the software side, the INTAMSUITE NEO slicing platform enhances operations through intelligent path planning and adaptable processes, ensuring precise control over temperature and flow for reliable, repeatable high-performance material prints.
Meeting the Demands of Modern Manufacturing
In today’s evolving manufacturing landscape, there is an increasing need for lightweight and robust structural components. Industries such as aerospace, robotics, and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft require materials that can withstand demanding conditions while maintaining performance.
The FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO rises to meet these challenges, bridging the gap between laboratory innovations and real-world production demands. Designed with continuous production in mind, it signifies a definitive evolution from merely high-quality printing to a focus on creating high-performance materials at scale.
Empowering Manufacturers: Beyond Just a Printer
Charles Han, the Founder and CEO of INTAMSYS, emphasized, "We didn’t just launch a faster printer; we developed an automated, traceable, and scalable manufacturing unit." This mentality underlines INTAMSYS's commitment not only to speed and reliability but also to redefining manufacturing logic.
Jimmy Yuan, the Product Director, noted, "Every aspect of the 310 APOLLO is meticulously designed to ensure production-grade reliability, elevating the expectations of what a printer can accomplish." This dedication to quality emphasizes that the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO is more than just a printer — it is a comprehensive solution tailored for the intelligent factories of the future.
