HA Group and Voxeljet: 3D printing with an extended warranty

3D printing machine manufacturer Voxeljet and Hüttenes-Albertus, a specialist in foundry chemicals, have been working together for many years to develop efficient and reliable solutions for additive manufacturing. Thanks to the precise calibration of the binder system to the printing process of Voxeljet machines, customers now benefit from additional advantages, such as an exclusive extended warranty for the qualified Voxeljet furan binder system. This partnership offers customers added peace of mind when implementing their projects.

Reliability & Partnership

High quality standards, certified processes and redundant testing ensure consistent binder quality within tight tolerance ranges and enable an extended warranty on the Voxeljet furan binder system. This ensures that the quality of the print results remains consistently stable. Furthermore, customers can quickly access technical support from both partners should they have any queries or requirements.

Customers can order the materials via Voxeljet’s international sites and receive them directly from Hüttenes-Albertus. Local stock levels at the HA Group’s sites reduce lead times and ensure the availability of the binder system.

Voxeljet Furan Binder System: Performance that impresses

Both companies share the common goal of supporting customers in the digitalisation of their core and mould-making processes. The development of the Voxeljet furan binder system draws on more than 20 years’ experience in developing binder systems for 3D printing. The results have been validated and offer the following benefits:

Benefits for the environment, the workplace and component quality:

• Resorcin-free.
• Bisphenol A-free.
• Nitrogen-free.

Product quality:

• Qualified manufacturing processes: Selected raw materials, tight manufacturing tolerances and redundant tests ensure high quality standards.
• Extended printhead service life: The Voxeljet furan binder system helps to extend the service life of the printheads and reduce maintenance costs.
• Tried and tested on the market for over 10 years: The Voxeljet furan binder system is internationally successful and is based on over 60 years’ experience in the development of furan binders.
• Made in Germany: The Voxeljet furan binder system is manufactured exclusively in Germany and distributed worldwide.

Service:

• Global availability and support: Thanks to the international presence of the HA Group and Voxeljet, customers worldwide have access to materials and comprehensive support.
• On-site application engineers: If required, a specialist engineer is available on site to assist with the implementation and use of 3D printing.
• Training: Customers can receive hands-on training on production printers at the “HA Centre of Competence” and the “voxeljet Academy” to optimise system usage.

Economic benefits:

• Fast, reliable, ready for use: Customers receive a new printhead from Voxeljet within just four weeks to minimise downtime.
• Responsibility: If damage caused by the binder occurs within the warranty period following the installation of a new printhead, customers receive a replacement promptly and without hassle, taking uptime into account.
• Clear cost structure: In the first nine months, customers benefit from a transparent discount structure and, thereafter, from a reliable service.

Partnership for the future of manufacturing

The collaboration between Voxeljet and the HA Group is an important step towards the further development of 3D printing for the foundry industry. By combining decades of experience with the advanced expertise of the Voxeljet Furan binder system, companies benefit from a high-performance binder system that maximises process reliability. Furthermore, the extended warranty and reliable service offer additional assurance for their production processes. In the event of an unexpected printhead failure, a quick and cost-effective replacement is offered to minimise downtime. This partnership demonstrates how companies can work together to develop solutions that meet the industry’s requirements whilst also being more efficient and environmentally friendly.
