Rapidia’s Conflux 1 Metal 3D Printing System is an easy-to-use, fast, and affordable end-to-end metal additive manufacturing solution.
Conflux 1 is powered by Metal Paste Deposition, which works by printing a flowable, water based, bound metal paste. The paste is dried, layer by layer, creating green parts with 90% less binder than found in metal filaments or MIM feedstocks. As a room temperature process, MPD is not limited by the speed of melting and then cooling polymer carriers. Moreover, the low binder content allows green parts to be put directly into short sintering cycles, skipping the debinding step and ultimately getting parts into your hands faster. Printer to Sinter directly – A fuss free, 2 Step Process.
Conflux 1 makes functional metal parts faster, safer, and more affordable.
Most parts can be finished in less than half the time of metal filament or other metal extrusion based processes, the Conflux 1 system allows for functional parts in under 24 hrs. Safely bound in a water based feedstock with no chemical solvents, loose powder or VOCs, allowing for easy handling and installation wherever needed.
The Conflux 1 is ready to go without need for a dedicated operator and no additional equipment for powder handling, stress relieving, support removal or furnace chilling. Low operating costs are made possible with low sintering gas and electricity usage. affordable pricing keeps low-volume part production lean and agile. Conflux 1 hardware packages, consisting of one printer and one vacuum sintering furnace, are available starting from $99,000 USD.
