This means for you: No series production of plastic parts and assemblies on an industrial scale at attractive prices!

To expand our product range, we have now conducted an internal study to determine whether economically viable pressure vessel production with HP MJF is possible. Our question in this study was therefore: “Is the HP Multi Jet Fusion manufacturing process suitable for the production of tanks that are exposed to high internal pressure?

We produced a few tanks for this purpose and then tested the resulting containers. For the pressure-tightness test, the test specimens manufactured with HP MJF were filled with water and permanently pressurized to 20 bar for four months using a hand pump.

The result for an additive manufacturing process is astounding: no moisture leakage and no pressure loss – even over a long period of time!

If one compares the pressure vessel production with HP MJF with other processes in which, for example, conventional vessels are produced from metal or conventional plastic production processes, there are significant advantages for this process:

With HP MJF, tanks can be manufactured in any shape (e.g. spherical, cylindrical or cube-shaped) that guarantees high wear resistance and thus suitability for use on an industrial scale. The pressure vessels produced in this way can be used for different pressure ranges depending on the wall thickness dimensioning. Due to the process-related easy scalability, freely selectable design and the possibility of integrating different coupling pieces in one production step, the production of complex tanks and pressure vessels, for example, is no longer a problem. In addition, pressure vessel production with HP MJF as an alternative to conventional processes remains comparatively inexpensive!

In a separate study by HP, it was also demonstrated that parts produced using the MJF process have a higher density (1.01 g/cm³) than parts produced using conventional laser sintering (0.90-0.95 g/cm³). The polyamide HD 3D PA 12 used in the MJF also has a much lower porosity than the SLS PA 12 material commonly used in the laser sintering process. It enables the production of ultra-thin layers of only 80 micrometers and thus excellent detail accuracy as well as outstanding surface quality. It also scores well in terms of chemical resistance: Even hot water, alcohol, aliphatic hydrocarbons (including gasoline components), engine oil and DOT-3 brake fluid cannot harm the PA 12 material used by Multi Jet Fusion. But that’s not all: The pressure vessels created with HP MJF have also passed IP66 and IP67 tests.

Conclusion: HP revolutionized pressure vessel production with the Multi Jet Fusion process and we
are proud to be able to offer this new technology to our customers!

Recently, the topic of “animal welfare” has been discussed with great attention and justification.

Two Odenwald companies are providing technical assistance with a particularly innovative veterinary product. In order to protect animals and humans during difficult or dangerous medical treatments and care measures, such as claw care, the company Industrialpartners GmbH, based in the upper Olfen district, has developed the “Gentler” system for K+N SALES UG from Fränkisch-Crumbach, which is based on stimulation current therapy technology.

In the past, it was usually necessary to use clamping frames or medication to immobilize the animals for the duration of a treatment. Now the “Gentler” offers a safe and gentle alternative for the protection of animals and humans. Especially during dehorning, claw care, milking or other veterinary measures, animals are often under stress and can become a great danger for humans and themselves through hoof kicks or uncontrolled movements.

The “Gentler”, which weighs only 1.2 kg, effectively prevents this. He stimulates the nervous system of the animal by means of an electronic impulse in which the ergonomically shaped tip of the probe is inserted rectally into the animal. Subsequently, the stimulation current pulse can effectively immobilize the animal by temporarily anaesthetising part of the muscles, which is completely harmless to the animal’s health during use.

The creative team of Industrialpartners GmbH from Oberzent with its engineers and product designers is responsible for the electronic and mechanical development of the K+N Sales product, which also uses the marketing of this innovative product concept, as well as the design development, article construction and industrialisation from a single source for the design of the appearance of the new “Gentler” brand.

In addition, the production of a small series was carried out on an industrial scale, which shortened the time to market for the product. The production of a small series could be realized in enormously short time periods by the production method of additive 3D manufacturing used by Industrialpartners in connection with novel surface treatments, which benefited the market launch of the “Gentler”.

The entire corporate product design for the veterinary product used for marketing also comes from the designers of industrialpartners. This included the design of the product logo, claims and the product website, as well as the layout and production of the operating instructions, the product brochure and the development and production of the product packaging,
