OSAI announced that it provides its OPENcontrol for the Fabru PlastJet 3C Model printers. These 3d printers extrude three different plastic materials simultaneously. Designed for industrial prototype applications, the PlastJet 3C operation is based on Fused Filament Fabrication following a CAM path managed by OSAI’s OPENcontrol software.
OPENcontrol’s power enables 3D printing at a top speed of 450 mm/s while printing three different plastic materials simultaneously. A unique feature is the flexibility of the PlastJet system to handle different plastic materials including ABS, TPE, PLA, PVA, HIPS and several others at temperatures up to 450°C.
The OPENcontrol is designed to simplify installation and commissioning, for a faster time-to-market. The OPENcontrol family of CNC’s are scalable and with a computing power easily adaptable to any custom requirement with no modifications to the software or the application and with block processing speeds of up to 7,000 blocks per second. The OPENcontrol can also use compact or modular drives, servo motors, and spindle motors to meet any application needs.
OSAI’s real-time SoftPLC, integrated in the CNC, allows interface of the control with most machine systems, from simple 3-axes milling machines to multi-axes and multi-spindle machining centers including today’s high-end 3D printing systems.
