MEBA3D: the affordable and fast solution for removing 3D-printed parts from the base plate

Additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly important in metal processing. Part of this process is separating 3D-printed parts from the base plate. Well before 3D sawing became a trend, MEBA developed a concept which guarantees fast process time and good cutting results, with low operating costs at the same time. The outcome of this concept is our: MEBA3D 335/510.

The MEBA concept is based on the successful straight-cut saws of the MEBAeco product family. These machines showcase modern machine technology, high efficiency and outstanding cutting results. The metal band sawing machine is equipped with a special clamping device and can therefore precisely separate 3D printed pieces from the customer’s mounting plate.

MEBAeco 3D

Short changeover time:

The entire clamping device is mounted in a short time with little effort.

Quick release clamp:

The base plate is fixed in place with a flick of the wrist.

Precise sawing off:

Fast process time, little rework.

Bonnet:

Closed workspace for removing 3D printed parts.

Industrial dirt vacuum cleaner:

Removal of coarse and fine dust.

Removable drip tray:

Easy removal of sawn-off parts.

Clamping device for precisely removing 3D printed workpieces

The metal band sawing machine is equipped with a special clamping device and can therefore precisely separate 3D printed pieces from the customer’s mounting plate.

The plate is being attached on the MEBA device which can be accurately aligned due to linear guides.

The fixture plate can be dismantled after the termination of the sawing process, and after a little rework the fixture plate can easily be reused.

Suitable for retrofitting:
The entire device is built on a base plate and can be therefore mounted easily and cost-effectively on already existing sawing machines, completing as a result your machine fleet.

We recommend further options:

Hood for 3D package
Industrial Vacuum for the 3D package

Hood for 3D package

Enclosed workspace for removing 3D printed parts
Easy removal of sawn-off parts
Clean work environment

Hood for 3D package

Your advantages

Limits the area of dirt
Removable drip tray
User-friendly: movable hood for easy attachment and removal of the base plates
Process reliability: Sight glass provides insight into the ongoing sowing process
Smooth running: easily movable via linear guides
Individually adjustable: with the option “suction for 3D package” the machine has a flexible installation of the suction nozzles
Suitable for subsequent attachment
Quick and easy assembly and disassembly

Industrial Vacuum for the 3D package

Industrial vacuum cleaner for the removal of coarse and fine dust
According to the safety instructions the vacuum cleaner is suited for the suction of combustible and dry dusts in zone 22
Manufactured according to the guidelines 94/9/EG for equipment and protective systems intended to use in potentially explosive atmospheres

Industrial Vacuum for the 3D package

Your Advantages

For extracting dust during dry sawing
Clean work environment
Health protection
High suction power
High mobility due to smooth-running castors
Can be used for all suction tasks and is therefore versatile

Important security indication:
Dust explosion-protected vacuum cleaners are not suitable for the suction of explosive or equivalent substances within the meaning of §1 SprengG. Liquids and mixtures of flammable dusts and liquids are also not suited. The operator needs therefore to guarantee the safe avoidance of ignition sources.

Advantages

Precise sawing

Minor rework, time saving, high quality, precise saw feed, highest dynamic due to servo drive

Fast

Short setup-time, saves time and money

Easy

to monitor and to clean

Process reliability

Cutting edge and feed supervision, frequency-controlled ball screw power unit

In comparison to traditional production processes such as wire EDP, the 3D MEBA sawing concept is less complicated since it only requires two operating steps: clamping and sawing. Acquisition and maintenance costs are significantly lower.

The long service life of the band saw blade also keeps the costs low. Capacity and amortization of the saw are additionally favored by the fact that MEBA3D saws can also be used for standard sawing work with a low conversion effort.

Anwenderbericht:

Managing Director Josef Eisele Additive Manufacturing with Metal: How Company “Edelstahl Mechanik” cleanly and economically separates 3D-Printed Metal Parts from the Base Plate
Metal 3D printing has experienced rapid growth in recent years. The 3D printing process allows a high degree of flexibility in the planning and construction of the various components. The components themselves have a high stability, functionality, and durability.

MEBA3D in your process chain

With the integrated MEBA3D solution your process could be as described: In the first step the 3D parts are printed on a plate. Afterwards, the plate must be fixed on the MEBA device, which can be moved as desired via linear guides and can therefore be precisely aligned. As soon as the plate is positioned, the sawing process begins. In the final step the MEBA3D bandsaw removes the 3D printed workpieces quickly and precisely from the plate.

The sawn workpieces fall then into a container where they can be removed and if necessary further refined. After the sawing process the fixture plate can be dismantled and with little rework reused for further prints. With the help of this solution, you can gently detach the 3D parts from the plate with little effort and quick saw cuts.
