This solution was certainly not optimal so we continued to analyze new technologies until we discovered the interesting performance of HP\u2019s Multi Jet Fusion Systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we were considering whether or not a research institution like ours should purchase the system, we read an article announcing Weerg&#8217;s record-breaking installation of HP 3D printers. \u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180212\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180212\" style=\"width: 769px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-180212 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pasted-into-WEERG-3D-Printed-Parts-Help-Open-Window-to-The-Universe-in-KM3NET-Space-Particle-Project.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180212\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 3D printed sphere by Weerg via HP\u2019s MJF 3D printing technology for the KM3NeT project.

Since then, the firm has accelerated the adoption of its MJF technology across the globe and launched its Open Materials platform to speed up the creation and improvement of new materials.<\/p>\n<p>MJF uses an inkjet array to apply fusing and detailing agents across a bed of nylon powder, which is then fused into a solid layer when heat is applied. The process of binding powder delivers greater isotropic material properties, faster build speeds, and manufacturing cost savings. To date, more than 50 million parts have been produced via MJF.<\/p>\n<p>HP launched its line of 5200 MJF 3D printers midway through 2019, designed to target volume production with accuracy and repeatability likened to injection molding. The company also released a new flexible TPU for MJF, confirmed new industrial alliances, and introduced its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hp.com\/go\/DigitalManufacturingNetwork.com\">Digital Manufacturing Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>More recently at last year\u2019s Formnext Connect, HP announced a three-pillar launch involving a new software solution, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www8.hp.com\/us\/en\/printers\/3d-printers\/software\/universal-build-manager.html?jumpid=nm_3uwqajbe9n\">HP Universal Build Manager<\/a>, which is powered by Seattle-based software company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dyndrite.com\/\">Dyndrite<\/a>, alongside its new <a href=\"https:\/\/www8.hp.com\/us\/en\/printers\/3d-printers\/products\/multi-jet-fusion-5200.html?jumpid=nm_kfg5zsmxe2#services\">HP 3D Factory Services<\/a> to aid customers in implementing their production processes, and its <a href=\"https:\/\/www8.hp.com\/us\/en\/printers\/3d-printers\/products\/multi-jet-fusion-5200.html?jumpid=nm_kfg5zsmxe2#postprocessing\">HP Automatic Unpacking Station<\/a>, developed in partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosler.com\/\">R\u00f6sler Group\u2019s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solutions-for-am.com\/\">AM Solutions<\/a>.

What we do know, is that neutrinos do not carry an electric charge, hence their name, and that their rest mass is so small that it was long thought to be zero. The KM3NeT\u2019s goal is to open up the study of these mystifying particles which could help us to understand where cosmic rays come from and how particle accelerators work in the universe.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this, the KM3NeT consists of football-sized glass spheres called digital optical modules (DOMs) which are each filled with 31 phototubes. These spheres will be anchored to the sea floor in hundreds of rows stretching around a kilometer in length to enable the phototubes to detect the faint light in the deep sea from charged particles originating from neutrino and Earth collisions. Through this, scientists will be able to search for neutrinos from distant astrophysical sources such as supernovae \u2013 powerful and luminous stellar explosions \u2013 gamma rays, and colliding stars.<\/p>\n<p>Nikhef employed Weerg\u2019s 3D printing services for the production of an essential component of the DOMs, called semi-spheres, which measure 380 millimeters and are printed using HP MJF 5210 3D printers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first order arrived about two years ago, and since then the collaboration has continued with regularity, even for higher and higher runs,\u201d said Francesco Zanardo, Weerg General Manager. \u201cSo far we have produced about 300 of these spheres, which have the particularity of having the maximum size that can be printed with HP systems.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180215\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180215\" style=\"width: 1638px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-180215\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pasted-into-WEERG-3D-Printed-Parts-Help-Open-Window-to-The-Universe-in-KM3NET-Space-Particle-Project-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1638\" height=\"1313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pasted-into-WEERG-3D-Printed-Parts-Help-Open-Window-to-The-Universe-in-KM3NET-Space-Particle-Project-2.png 1638w, https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pasted-into-WEERG-3D-Printed-Parts-Help-Open-Window-to-The-Universe-in-KM3NET-Space-Particle-Project-2-1536x1231.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1638px) 100vw, 1638px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A render of the 3D printed DOM sphere to be installed on the ocean floor. Image via Weerg.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The spheres are printed in Nylon PA12 due to its rigidity and chemical resistance to oils, greases, and hydrocarbons. The material also absorbs very little humidity to ensure high performance in almost any environmental conditions. Weerg has also 3D printed several smaller, undisclosed components for the project using its HP MJF machines.<\/p>\n<p>Once the KM3NeT project is completed in the next few years, more than 6,000 spheres will have been installed on the seafloor in three locations of the coast of France, Italy, and Greece. Some of Weerg\u2019s 3D printed components are already in position and in use at the site off of Toulon, France, where 108 spheres are currently operational. By April this year, the site near Sicily, Italy, will have 90 units installed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to have been chosen by Nikhef to contribute, albeit in a small way, to the realization of this project,\u201d added Zarnardo. \u201cThe value we have been recognized for is related to the fact that we can make these components very easily, uploading the filed online from anywhere in the world and receiving the order in a few days with the same guarantee of compliance and quality throughout Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The KM3NeT project will be completed off the coast of France in 2024, and off the coast of Italy in 2026. At the France location, the infrastructure will detect low-energy neutrinos generated by cosmic rays interacting with the Earth\u2019s atmosphere, while at the Italy base studies will center on neutrinos resulting from supernovae caused by the final acts of distant stars.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180216\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180216\" style=\"width: 2462px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-180216 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pasted-into-WEERG-3D-Printed-Parts-Help-Open-Window-to-The-Universe-in-KM3NET-Space-Particle-Project-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2462\" height=\"1302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pasted-into-WEERG-3D-Printed-Parts-Help-Open-Window-to-The-Universe-in-KM3NET-Space-Particle-Project-3.png 2462w, https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pasted-into-WEERG-3D-Printed-Parts-Help-Open-Window-to-The-Universe-in-KM3NET-Space-Particle-Project-3-1536x812.png 1536w, https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pasted-into-WEERG-3D-Printed-Parts-Help-Open-Window-to-The-Universe-in-KM3NET-Space-Particle-Project-3-2048x1083.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2462px) 100vw, 2462px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180216\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">International project KM3NeT is a research infrastructure in the deepest seas of the Mediterranean that will house next-generation neutrino telescopes.
