Dual Laser System for Dental 3D Metal Printing
FastForm FF-M220 H is a metal 3D printer with two lasers and a build area of 220 × 140 × 200 mm, specifically designed for manufacturing dental structures. Up to 300 crowns or 30 frameworks can be placed on one platform, and FastForm claims a productivity of 300 crowns in 5 hours or 30 frameworks in 6 hours.
Advantages of FastForm FF-M220 H
- Dual laser system. The FF-M220 H is equipped with two lasers operating within a build area of 220 × 140 × 200 mm. This configuration is aimed at group manufacturing of metal parts and dental structures.
- Productivity for dental production. It is claimed to accommodate up to 300 crowns or 30 frameworks simultaneously. For these products, the productivity is stated as 300 crowns in 5 hours and 30 frameworks in 6 hours.
- Bidirectional powder application. The system uses a flexible scraper for powder application in both directions. This scheme allows for applying a new layer during the recoater's movement in both directions.
- LFPT Technology. Laser Following Powder Technology tracks the powder application trajectory in real-time. FastForm claims a reduction in layer application time by 9 seconds and a 20% increase in efficiency.
- Bidirectional powder application. A flexible scraper is used for material distribution, applying powder during movement in both directions.
- Quick-release base plate. The magnetic type of attachment is designed for quick installation and removal of the base plate after building is complete.
- Continuous filtration system. FastForm claims a filter lifespan of 30,000 hours. The manufacturer positions the system as one that does not require regular replacement of the filter element within the specified lifespan.
Dual Laser System and Build Area
The FastForm FF-M220 H is equipped with two lasers and has a build area of 220 × 140 × 200 mm. This configuration allows two laser sources to be engaged during part formation and to place a group of dental structures within a single task.The laser spot size is 50–80 µm, and the layer thickness is adjustable between 30–60 µm. These are different process parameters: layer thickness determines the vertical build step, while spot size characterizes the area of laser beam impact on the metal powder.
Productivity of Dental 3D Printing
The FF-M220 H is designed for group manufacturing of dental structures. According to FastForm, up to 300 crowns or 30 frameworks can be placed on one platform. For crowns, the manufacturer claims a productivity of 300 products in 5 hours, and for frameworks, 30 products in 6 hours. These indicators allow for evaluating printer load during serial production. The actual build time depends on the geometry of the models, their placement, material, and specified process parameters.
LFPT and Bidirectional Powder Application
The FF-M220 H is equipped with LFPT technology, which tracks the powder application trajectory in real-time. According to FastForm, the system reduces the time for applying one layer by 9 seconds and provides a 20% increase in efficiency. A flexible scraper is used for forming the powder layer. Application is performed in two directions, so a new layer of material can be formed during the recoater's movement in each direction.
FastLayer and FastFab
For preparing and launching printing, FastForm uses software solutions FastLayer and FastFab. FastLayer is designed for arranging dental crowns. According to the manufacturer, arrangement can be completed with one click within 5 minutes. FastFab is responsible for launching printing with one click.
Protective Gas and Continuous Filtration
To create a protective atmosphere, the FF-M220 H works with nitrogen or argon. Specific values for gas consumption, working pressure, and allowable oxygen content are not provided in this model's specifications.The filtration system is equipped with a continuous filter with a claimed lifespan of 30,000 hours. FastForm describes the system with formulations Zero Cost, Zero Replacement, and Zero Risk, associating them with the absence of regular filter replacement and the risk of incorrect installation during such an operation.
Alloys and Their Applications
FastForm FF-M220 H supports stainless steel, titanium, and cobalt-chromium alloys.
- Stainless Steel. Can be used for manufacturing functional metal parts, prototypes, small housing elements, fasteners, and technological components.
- Titanium Alloys. Used for parts where a combination of low weight, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance is important. Possible products include medical components, custom designs, and lightweight functional parts.
- Cobalt-Chromium Alloys. Particularly relevant for dental production. On the FF-M220 H, frameworks for dental prosthetics, crowns, bridge structures, and other metal elements for dental work can be manufactured from such powders.
