Brose Enters VX1000 HSS Beta for Additive Series Production

by Automotive

Brose, a global automotive supplier, is now confirmed as one of the first participants in the High-Speed Sintering (HSS) Early-Access Beta Program for the VX1000 HSS 3D printer. The company will work with voxeljet AG as a cooperation partner to further develop the VX1000 HSS for use in additive series production of polymer components for the automotive industry. With HSS, voxeljet combines the advantages of two existing additive technologies: selective laser sintering and binder jetting, giving the benefit of both SLS part properties and binder-jetting productivity. The new VX1000 HSS 3D printer has a significantly larger build volume and a faster print speed than previous systems, enabling true additive series production.

What do certification bodies or notified bodies look at when validating additive manufacturing processes? In the MedTech sector, their focus will be on personnel qualification and, in particular, the process chain. In its new white paper, TÜV SÜD outlines the state-of-the-art manufacturing method and takes a closer look at the applicable standards. “We point out existing gaps and potential issues related to the additive manufacturing of medical devices, and outline feasible procedures”, said Simon Schlagintweit, Lead Auditor Additive Manufacturing at TÜV SÜD. The publication explains the individual steps in process chain qualification and validation and discusses the post-processing of products. The white paper’s target audience includes industry representatives, but also decision-makers in point-of-care diagnostics in areas such as research institutes and hospitals.
