Farsoon FS422M CAMS System

Introducing FS422M. CAMS – Continuous Additive Manufacturing Solution, is developed to address the growing movement of the additive industry into true manufacturing as well as future models of production such as Industry 4.0. The CAMS vision is to offer continuous AM production through vertical scalability and modularization capable of integrating into any industrial manufacturing facility. FS421M is the first metal system designed under CAMS concept for industrial scale series production.

Discover FS422M System

• 1-Build Station
• The build Station is where the sintering process takes place. Once the removable build cartridge is in place, the build packet files would be loaded into Farsoon’s BuildStarTM operating software, then the build process begins.
• 2-Permanent Filtration System

The FS422M permanent filtration system features an extended service life of more than 10 years. With excellent air-tightness and safe circulation of inert gas, it is capable of handling reactive material and can offer stable filtration process during the long build process of large parts.

• 3-Breakout Station
• The build cartridge is moved to breakout station via the fork lift. Integrated with blowing and suction functions, the Breakout Station allows accelerated part cake cleaning. Fully enclosed with access through glove boxes on the front of the station, the breakout station allows operation under inert gas protection while retaining a clean working environment.
• 4-Powder Refill Unit
• The FS422M is featured with a high-efficiency top-feed powder system. The portable powder refill unit can be easily docked, enabling quick refill of the material into the new material tank without disturbing the build process. The material supply volume can be precisely controlled, and conveyed under inert gas.
• 5-Sieving Station
• The powder sieving station features a vibration screen offering efficient, automated sieving of recycled metal powder from the overflow & recycled hoppers to filter the large particles. The sieving process is under inert gas protection to prevent powder contamination. The metal powder collected in the refreshed powder bin can be re-used for powder supply.

Turbine Cooling Testbed

Machine: FS422M
Material: Titanium
Size: 365 x 365 x 320 (H) mm

This aerospace turbine cooling testbed is designed and build for testing and benchmarking the effectiveness of the new turbine cooling methodologies. Thanks to the advanced additive technology the testbed is integrated with many design innovations offering improved part performance and simplified manufacturing process. The whole testbed is produced in one-piece with intricated, detailed designs with minimal wall thickness of only 1 mm.

In-line Tube & Shell Heat Exchanger

Machine: FS422M-4
Material: Aluminum
Size: 412 x 412 x 380 (H) mm

This in-line tube and shell heat exchanger is purpose-built for the industrial petroleum industry. Rapid heating and cooling crude oil and its many byproducts during the refinement process is critically important to safety and cost. This integrated heat sink component allows for in-line cooling at a fraction of the cost of expensive, space-consuming traditional equipment. Fluid cavity separation allows for cooling or heating of the petroleum with no contact between coolant and production fluid.
