Metal 3D printer FastForm FF-M140C H

Dental 3D Printer FastForm FF-M140C H for Printing Metal Crowns and Frameworks

FastForm FF-M140C H is an industrial dental 3D printer for the serial production of metal dental crowns, bridge structures, denture frameworks, and other orthopedic products. The equipment is designed for dental laboratories and dental production centers that use selective laser melting (SLM) technology for 3D metal printing. The working area with a diameter of 140 mm and a height of 160 mm allows for the simultaneous placement of several models on the platform, ensuring efficient batch production of dental structures.

Advantages of the Dental 3D Printer FF-M140C H

• High productivity of dental production. The printer allows for the production of up to 150 dental crowns in 5 hours or 15 dental frameworks in 6 hours, ensuring efficient execution of serial orders.
• Group printing of metal structures. The cylindrical working area with a diameter of 140 mm and a height of 160 mm allows for the placement of several crowns, frameworks, or other dental products within a single task.
• Layer thickness adjustment. The range of 30–60 microns allows for the selection of build parameters according to the geometry of the structures, characteristics of the metal powder, and production requirements.
• Laser spot size of 50–60 microns. The compact impact zone of the laser beam is suitable for manufacturing small metal parts with complex geometry.
• Quick-release magnetic platform. The base plate fixation system simplifies its installation and removal, reducing the time for auxiliary operations between production cycles.
• Durable filtration system. A permanent filter with a declared resource of 30,000 hours reduces the need for regular replacement of filter elements during equipment operation.

3D Printing Performance of Dental Crowns and Frameworks

FastForm FF-M140C H allows for the production of up to 150 metal crowns in 5 hours or 15 dental frameworks in 6 hours. This productivity makes the printer a practical solution for dental laboratories that work with large volumes of orders and require regular production of uniform structures.

Group placement of models on the platform allows for efficient use of the working area and planning of production cycles. Actual productivity depends on the number and geometry of the products, their placement, properties of the metal powder, and SLM printing settings.

Increased Working Area for Dental 3D Printing

FastForm FF-M140C H differs from the standard model FF-M140C with an increased build height of 60%. The working area with a diameter of 140 mm and a height of 160 mm allows for the production of taller metal structures and provides more opportunities for placing dental models on the platform.

Compared to the standard version FF-M140C, which has a build height of 160 mm, the FF-M140C H modification has an additional 60 mm of working space. This expands the possibilities for serial SLM printing of dental crowns, denture frameworks, and other dental structures.

Software for Dental 3D Printing

FastLayer automates the preparation of dental models, and FastFab simplifies the launch of tasks on the 3D printer. Software solutions help organize a consistent process of manufacturing metal structures from model layout to print start.

FastLayer supports automated placement of dental crowns on the platform. Layout preparation can be done with one click within 5 minutes, reducing the amount of manual work during the formation of production tasks.

FastFab allows for the launch of prepared print tasks with one click. The joint use of software simplifies the workflow of the dental laboratory and the preparation of serial batches of dental products.

Protective Atmosphere and Filtration System

FastForm FF-M140C H supports the use of nitrogen or argon to create a protective environment during SLM printing with metal powders. A controlled atmosphere is necessary to limit undesirable interactions of the molten metal with the surrounding air. The choice of gas depends on the type of alloy and the parameters of the technological process.

The printer is equipped with a permanent filtration system with a resource of 30,000 hours. It is designed for long-term operation and reduces the need for regular replacement of filter elements, which is especially important for laboratories with constant production load.

Metals and Alloys for Dental SLM Printing

FastForm FF-M140C H supports 3D printing with metal powders, allowing for the production of dental structures and other compact functional parts.

Main groups of materials:

• Cobalt-chromium alloys (CoCr). Used for the production of metal dental crowns, bridge frameworks, clasp structures, and other dental products where strength, rigidity, and corrosion resistance are important.
• Titanium alloys. Combine high specific strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance. Used for individual components of dental prosthetics and custom metal structures.
• Stainless steel. Suitable for the production of auxiliary tools, fasteners, technical components, and other metal parts that require mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
• Other metal powders. Can be used if compatibility with the equipment is confirmed and appropriate printing parameters are available.

For dental production, cobalt-chromium and titanium alloys are of particular importance, as they are used in the manufacture of orthopedic structures. The choice of a specific powder should correspond to the purpose of the product, material requirements, and the technological profile of SLM printing.

Quick-release Magnetic Platform

The magnetic base plate fixation system accelerates the preparation of the printer for the next printing cycle. The design allows for the installation and removal of the plate without traditional bolt fastening, simplifying the operator's work.

This is especially convenient during the serial production of dental crowns and frameworks, where after each cycle, the platform needs to be removed for further processing of the printed structures.
