Center Console for Series Production
Our customer produces center consoles in series production of cars in the high-price segment using the cartesian PX-C1150 pellet printer. In addition, Liqtra provides support in process development through to series production readiness and can also make any necessary adjustments to the machine’s hardware and software to reach the best possible printing result. In the future, customized 3D printing systems for series production of even larger quantities (> 10,000 parts/year) will be developed to enable a reliable 24/7 production
Results:
Reliable processing of technical polymers in high volumes
Higher part quality due to dynamic material extrusion
High accuracy due to the high acceleration rates
Increased design freedom using valve nozzle technology
Prostheses for Acute Care
Fast 3D printing with multi-nozzle technology enables the production of prosthetic legs for acute care overnight.
After 3D printing has already been successfully used for the production of medical aids, such as orthoses or insoles, a market is now opening up through the production of individual leg prostheses. A fast production process is a prerequisite for fitting, acute care and replacement prostheses. While single nozzle 3D printing causes process times of over 24 hours, reduced process times of multi-nozzle technology enable overnight production. To achieve the maximum part quality, we cooperate with orthopedists and medical supply stores as development partners to cover the entire process chain from part design and material selection to process planning and 3D printing.
Results:
3D printing is competitive due to short process times
Digital process chain for fast and comfortable patient care
Use of certified filaments for skin contact
Multi-material 3D printing allows further design freedom
Spare Part Production On-Site
During AM Village 2024 in Tournai, Liqtra run the FX-7 Pro for a week to print spare parts on demand. The spontaneous on-site production of parts such as a brake fluid tank made of PP or a V-belt made of TPU demonstrated the resilience and reliability of our machines. In addition, the Liqtra ecosystem enables decentralized Additive Manufacturing, allowing a centralized process planning to be transferred to local machines from anywhere in the world if necessary.
Results:
No long downtimes thanks to high productivity
Server-based process planning enables decentralized manufacturing
Quick implementation without expert knowledge
High flexibility for a wide range of applications
On-Board Computer
Holistic product development – from the control board to the design and 3D printing of the functional housing.
The on-board computer solution MC move+ for local public transport consists of a computer tablet for the driver, a customer display, a ticket printer and a QR code scanner – all integrated into a 3D-printed housing. The power supply and communication between the individual components is realized via a custom PCB developed by LIQTRA. The entire project from the idea to customer deployment was completed in around 6 months, which shows the potential of 3D printing in terms of cost savings and avoiding long delivery times for tools.
Results:
3D printing minimizes development times
Economic small series production of housings
Reduction of housing parts due to integral design
3D printing enables decentralized spare part production
Trial Leg Prosthetics
Short printing times enable the rapid production of trial prostheses to optimize the patient-individual shape.
By reducing the production time and cost associated with traditional prosthetic trials, LIQTRA empowers both practitioners and patients to make better-informed decisions with greater confidence. The use of PP ensures that these test prosthetics provide a realistic fit and function, allowing patients to experience and evaluate the prosthesis comfortably before committing to a final version. Whether used in clinics, hospitals, or rehabilitation centers, our approach to 3D printing trial prosthetics marks a significant advancement in personalized patient care, improving accessibility and setting new standards for the prosthetics industry.
Results:
Easy localization of pressure points due to transparent material
Digital process chain for fast and comfortable patient care
Use of certified filaments for skin contact
3D printing is competitive due to short process times
Intercom System
Multi-material 3D printing allows new functional part designs by combining different materials in one 3D printing process.
Our focus in developing multi-material 3D printing is on offering different material properties for functional part designs, such as hard and strong parts with softer surfaces. In cooperation with our partner Sittig Technology we are currently working on the production of housings for intercom systems, in which conductive materials are combined with insulating materials, whereby ESD protection is integrated directly into the printed part.
Results:
Economical production of small series intercom systems
Usage of 3D printing enables decentralized spare part production
Reduction of housing parts due to integral design
Substitution of the inner metal shell leads to large weight savings
