SphereCube 3D prints a technology to be able to handle the high-powered composite material that increases continuously, use at issueing generation not to have production of mould environmental protection. Newly established technology of Italy allows to come through heating solidify matrix, offerred domain of the composite material that print to pass the possibility of most commerce resinous of test and verify thereby. Be united in wedlock with the crowded pressure head that designs technically, the 3D printer of SphereCube applies open up for composite material industry new view. The presiding apparitor Valerio Di Pompeo of SphereCube introduced this efficient solution. This interview already was published on JEC Composites Magazine N°150.

JEC Composites Magazine: Can you sum up the solution that your history and you offer? Valerio Di Pompeo of SphereCube presiding apparitor: The idea of SphereCube is born at the student of I or college of industry of Ma Erkai grain, encountered Alessio Vita, he is one of professors of composite material special training course. We think consistently, without the 3D that passes industrial test and verify the technology that print uses the commonnest composite material on the world to produce raw material, if colophony of hot solid sex is mixed,enhance material continuously. When we begin to debate possible solution, the first draft of the core part of SphereCube 3D printer was born now: Push pressure head. We are participated in together, the group still is in grow. The solution that SphereCube offers is the 3D printer of a kind of innovation, special design is used at realizing the 3D with highest function to print polymer base composite material component, use matrix of hot solid sex and successive fiber to increase.

JEC Composites Magazine: Your technology is to be based on laser to heat up solidify technology, apply at composite material, what advantage does photograph comparing have with other technology? Valerio Di Pompeo: SphereCube had won patent of a technology, this technology can use quantity of heat to come solidify matrix. The solidify process of this kind of type assured to presswork the commercial resinous possibility that great majority has gotten test and verify in composite material domain. The crowded pressure head that SphereCube develops can be installed go up in different mobile system, mix to dragon mast from mechanical arm crane. This makes the system can expand and get used to a lot of potential application processes. Similar technique uses resin of solidify of UV of hot solid sex, but this is practicable matrix limitation have not go up in composite material market the material of test and verify.

The competitor's 3D prints a system to use mechanical arm, and the 3D printer of SphereCube is based on 5 shaftings all, have taller precision and but repeatability, print bulk on average to be millimeter of 400 X 400 X 400. Because reduced the amount of space and leftover stress, this system can achieve higher mechanical performance.

JEC Composites Magazine: What composite material can your solution that print process? What is the main advantage that you offer? Valerio Di Pompeo: The technology that SphereCube develops uses double constituent epoxy resin (colophony + stiffening agent) serve as with successive fiber enhance material. What SphereCube wins patent is crowded can mix effectively odd matrix and enhance material, make former as perfect as latter agglutinate, next, carry heat source, composite material is squeezing the basis after going out to need part or complete solidify (solidify) .

Once material is squeezed to go out, the partial solidify of matrix made sure 3D prints the perfect agglutinate between the layer and union, increased the resistance between the layer thereby. The others coupling of the system that is used at cut fiber and material of squeezing ramming deposit and extruding head, finish it.

The crowded pressure head that SphereCube develops makes the system is had but expansibility and adaptability, apply to a lot of potential application

This system use is extensive, the matrix of hot solid sex that can treat different type, enhance fiber what can use any property continuously, include biology radical (for example flax, hempen) fiber.

For example, matrix can be epoxy resin or phenolic aldehyde colophony, and the different configuration that SphereCube system can have different viscosity and solidify time through managing craft parameter to handle. Advantage clearly: The client can be in according to oneself physical character, cost, but durative the demand with production time aspect, undertake choosing from inside the material with wide range. In addition, the client returns aux will be able to to choose eligible material for aerospace quite, reduce their development time and cost thereby.

JEC Composites Magazine: You present development state of affairs how? Valerio Di Pompeo: We are being developed for the client and print a spare parts. 3D printer prototype makes we can test and verify and the feedback that popularize this technology and collect a client.

JEC Composites Magazine: Whether had you planned market fund or is whether had you planned market fund or the plan before long have raise the wind in the future? In taking a risk this, your main proponent / who is associate? Valerio Di Pompeo: We participated in Takeoff accelerometer to delimit, include CDP venture capital investment, Plug And Play, Leonardo, Avio, Fo among themNdazione CRT and Unicredit serve as main partner. We have a few investor to be interested in our group and technology, but we cannot say more.

JEC Composites Magazine: Your target domain / what is application? Valerio Di Pompeo: Because the famous raw material that composite material field used in the system is printed in 3D, sphereCube makes high-powered composite material and the world that add material to make more and more close together, ensure appearance is optimized, custom-built, improve package performance and reduced weight. These character make we can examine all benefit from benefit from to decrease heavy application, for example motion of aerospace, racing bicycle and car. As a result of personalized possibility, the other sphere that SphereCube is close to is biology medicine and sports. What we say no less than, this group been makinging component for afore-mentioned domains.

JEC Composites Magazine: Big client has contacted you? Valerio Di Pompeo: Yes, we are cooperating with a few big clients, but these projects are in confidential agreement under.

JEC Composites Magazine: You / what is of the product next? Valerio Di Pompeo: It is next with the client a test and verify this technology. Once we obtain true target and feedback, our plan is the sale 3D system that print, include special software among them, optimize material and 3D printer.
