Forge1

3D printer

Raise3D Forge1

The Forge1 uses FFF technology to produce high-density metal parts for direct use after debinding and sintering. The printer has an optimized material supply system, a build platform optimized for metal filament printing and hardened nozzles.

In addition, the Forge1 offers optimized internal print parameters, process control, toolpaths and print calibration specifically designed for metal filaments.

Delivery and sintering service

A service in which Raise3D validates the customer's components before printing and provides the best printing parameters to successfully arrive at the appropriate metal component. This service guarantees the customer a defect-free metal part or their money back provided the Raise3D design rules are fully followed.

Thats how it works:

1. The Forge1 customer purchases a code from ProductionToGo.

2. Before printing, the customer accesses Raise3D's dedicated website and provides the necessary information (coupon code, contact information, STL file, part information...).

3. Raise3D's metal experts analyze the file and advise the customer on the best way to print the green part or if any modifications are needed.

4. In addition to the validated component and the printing parameters, the customer receives a BASF Debind & Sinter code from Raise3D.

5. The customer prints the green part using Raise3D's instructions.

6. The customer sends the printed green part and the D&S code to a BASF partner.

7. The customer receives the finished component back.

Alternatives (only in Europe):

1. The process outlined above, starting with the purchase of a code from ProductionToGo GmbH. Costs are around €180 per part.

2. Purchase of code from BASF itself to debond and sinter parts. Costs are currently around €60 per kilogram. This method does not include validation by Raise3D!

Raise3D ideaMaker Metal Edition

The Forge1 is complemented by the ideaMaker metal edition. This software automatically generates and compensates for dimensional shrinkage during sintering.
