The Massivit 5000 was designed to dramatically shorten production time for large, custom end-use parts, prototypes, and molds. Launched in Q2 2021, the printer enables marine manufacturers and service providers to produce large parts within hours instead of days or weeks.
The Massivit 5000 offers a colossal build volume of 145cm x 111cm x 180cm and facilitates high-speed production of parts that instantly cure during the printing process, offering ready-made parts straight off the printer – with practically no required support structures.
Large, lightweight parts can be printed without the need for excessive post-processing. It also facilitates sea-worthy end-use parts with significantly shorter lead times, lower costs and less waste than traditional manufacturing processes. The machine enables complex geometries that can serve as a core for composite marine parts made of fibreglass, carbon fibre and Kevlar and its output has been proven to withstand required minimum loads for a range of maritime parts.
The new technology was developed to digitalise antiquated manufacturing workflows in line with Industry 4.0 requirements. Spare parts, custom end-use parts, moulds and prototypes can now be produced on-site and on demand, such as symmetrical stern extensions, custom-made stern covers and roofs, ergonomic dashboards, tailored radar masts and bowsprits, hermetically sealed bathrooms, collecting tanks and many other applications.
Massivit 3D also introduced the Massivit 10000. Marking a new milestone for composites manufacturing, this groundbreaking additive manufacturing system facilitates cost-effective mould production for composite materials end parts. It is designed to overcome the bottlenecks of mould production by shortening the traditional 19-step workflow down to just 4 steps.
Based on the company’s innovative Cast-In-Motion technology, the Massivit 10000 enables direct printing of a ‘female’ mould shell, thereby eradicating the need to produce a master or plug. This shift in paradigm – coupled with a high Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) capability, low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) and exceptional geometry freedom – has spawned growing demand across several countries and industries.
