Weerg doubles 3D department

IndPrint


Weerg has set a new record! Just one year after the installation of six HP Jet Fusion 5210 3D industrial printers, the company has now doubled the production capacity by purchasing six more printers from the same series. And, if 2019 saw the largest single order ever placed in EMEA, now the Italian e-commerce company, offering CNC and 3D online machining, has reached the European record for the number of systems installed.

Weerg is one of the first companies in the world to implement the innovative automatic unpacking system, developed by HP with the German company Rösler AM Solutions, within its 3D printing production line. In fact, it has collaborated as a beta tester in the development of this exclusive solution, which will be presented as a world premiere during the digital edition of Formnext.


‘In the last year we have seen an exponential growth in the demand for 3D printing, especially for large print volumes, to the point that it now represents around 70% of our production activity,’ explained Matteo Rigamonti, CEO and founder of Weerg.

An increase that completely overturns the balance between CNC and 3D and that the entrepreneur attributes to the increasingly appreciated advantages of additive production, such as extreme practicality and production rate. ‘At a slightly higher price, 3D printing makes it possible to obtain large quantities of parts extremely quickly, avoiding the design limitations that characterize traditional processes such as injection printing,’ said Matteo.

For this reason, it was necessary to double the production capacity, once again relying on the quality of the HP systems, which are capable of offering precision, repeatability and maximum rate even for series of thousands of pieces. ‘The industrial performance of the HP Jet Fusion 5210 has been further enhanced by the use of the new Automatic Unpacking Station, which we had the opportunity to test for three months and which is already in operation at our facility in Gardigiano,’ said Matteo. This solution enables the automation of the process of removing dust from moulded parts. A process that was previously carried out manually by operators, which represented a waste of time and resources. The cleaning process carried out by the machine guarantees excellent performance in terms of quality, speed and safety even for small and delicate parts. In addition, the automatic unpacking system developed by HP allows Weerg to recover more of the dust that can be returned to the systems with considerable advantages in terms of eco sustainability.

Among the new products available at weerg.com is 3D printing on polypropylene, an extremely versatile material that will complement the well known Nylon PA12, further expanding the application possibilities of this technology.
