Powder 3D Printer PB series
Ceramic Expression Beyond Imagination

Produce unique shapes with superior quality to create one-of-a-kind objects.

NEW PB-600, PB-400 Powder 3D Printer

The PB-600/PB-400 binder jet Powder 3D Printer series produces creative and complex three-dimensional objects in high definition beautifully and efficiently. Its artistic and elaborate expressive power expands creative possibilities and brings innovation to the manufacturing process of ceramic products.

  • Allows anyone to easily produce difficult shapes that could previously only be created by skilled craftsmen and complex models that cannot be manufactured by hand or milling machines.
  • Available in two sizes for a wide variety of applications.
  • High quality finish is achieved by using Brightorb, a special ceramic powder with fine particles.

Creativity

The PB series is a binder jet type 3D printer that produces 3D objects by ejecting liquid binders from the print head and layering ceramic powder while fixing it layer by layer. It enables anyone to easily produce difficult shapes that could previously only be created by craftsmen, as well as complex models that cannot be manufactured by hand or with milling machines.

Productivity

The PB-600 has a maximum work size of 595 (W) x 600 (D) x 250 (H) mm, while the PB-400 has a maximum work size of 390 (W) x 290 (D) x 200 (H) mm. By laying out several different modeling objects, a large object or several smaller ones can be produced at once. Powder material remaining in the main unit after output can be reused for the next modeling task for low-cost operation.

Precision

Brightorb, a special ceramic powder, consists of fine particles to produce excellent performance with less than 1 % shrinkage during firing, which is essential for ceramic modeling. In addition, the PB series layers the fine material at the optimum thickness to create complex objects with high precision and a beautifully smooth finish.

Operation

The printer includes slicing software that converts 3D data created with 3D CAD or 3D CG software into output data. It can also be operated intuitively from a monitor attached to the product itself, making it easy even for first-time users.
