Erpro Group today announced the first partnership with 3D printer manufacturer Carbon in France, following the installation of a Carbon M2 3D printer.
" 3D printing technology, which started out exclusively as a rapid prototyping solution, has come a long way in the last ten years.explains Quentin Bertucchi, R&D Process Engineer. Today, it offers a number of manufacturing applications, but this is only the beginning. In terms of speed and cost, it is now possible to produce large volumes of parts competitively with traditional production methods. Material quality and repeatability are also key factors, consolidating our objectives for more large-scale projects.. "
A key benefit of this partnership is that Erpro Group will benefit from direct access to Carbon's experts, who will work closely with the company to optimize the use of the M2 in a multitude of sectors, from automotive and medical to luxury packaging and jewelry.
Erpro Group will also have access to Carbon's latest material developments: Erpro 3D Factory is already working with EPU 40, a material with unrivalled elasticity and resilience. Its tear strength, energy return and elongation make it ideal for damping, shock-absorbing and vibration-isolating parts, gaskets and seals. RPU 70 is also an extremely rigid ABS-like material, offering the performance capabilities required for demanding production applications.
" We're delighted to be Carbon's first production partner in Francecontinues Q. Bertucchi. The company's cutting-edge technologies and materials will enable us to offer our customers a wider range of 3D printing solutions than ever before for high-volume production projects. We'll be able to push production reliability, benefit from high-performance materials and accelerate our productivity. The printing speeds we achieve with the 3D printer are phenomenal, and the materials offer a truly impressive surface finish. For our customers, this means that we can now 3D print high-quality finished products in a very short time.. "
With twenty years' experience in additive manufacturing, Erpro Group has made a name for itself with the completion of several prestigious large-scale 3D printing projects. These include a recent partnership with Chanel, under which Erpro 3D Factory manufactures "Le Volume Révolution de Chanel", the first mascara with a 3D-printed brush to be marketed on a large scale. This concentrated innovation enables Erpro 3D Factory to produce 50,000 3D brushes in 24 hours, equivalent to 1 million mascaras a month.
