P-200 PRINTER
Print and Shape
Mantle’s P-200 printer is a hybrid system built on a trusted CNC platform. It integrates 3D printing of Mantle’s metal pastes with precision machining to produce parts with the accuracy and surface finish required for tooling. The P-200 printer has a build volume of 200mm x 200mm x 150mm.
Mantle’s F-200 furnace sinters the parts printed in the P-200 printer and solidifies them into durable, accurate tool steel components. One furnace can sinter multiple parts and can support multiple printers.
Eliminate machining and EDM operations by printing parts with the accuracy and fine features needed for tooling.
Precise material deposition
CNC machining to refine shape
End mills as small as 0.006” for fine features
ACCURACY OF +/- 0.001″ PER INCH
ACCURACY OF +/- 0.001″ PER INCH
BEST-IN-CLASS SURFACE FINISH
Mantle’s printed tools feature best-in-class surface finish for metal 3D printers with 1-3µm Ra (Charmilles 26-28 ), similar to the surface finish of a sinker EDM.
Printed part detail and shut-off surfaces are ready for molding with little to no post-processing.
No layer lines
Dense steel tool components without pitting
Polish to an A2 level
EASY TO USE
Make tooling components with the push of a button. Components that traditionally required years of training to make now need only minutes of user interaction.
Train operators in days
Printer and furnace require just minutes of setup
No CAM programming required
Change materials in less than 5 minutes
DESIGNED FOR THE SHOP FLOOR
Mantle’s printer and furnace sit alongside existing toolmaking equipment and have familiar power, air, and EH&S requirements.
Standard shop power and air
No dedicated room required
No loose metal powders
MODERN AND IMPROVING
Mantle’s printer is built with a modern architecture and improves over time.
In situ process monitoring
Remote software updates to improve system performance
Remote hardware monitoring and print queuing to maximize utilization
