Development Services

CONCR3DE offers Service Level Agreements as well as range of both Technical and Operational Services as well as Maintenance and Spare Part options to customers using our printers. Through years of experience and testing hundreds of materials, we are experts in getting your material printable and advising on post processing steps. Are you interested in exploring novel geometries, using your powder waste stream as 3D printing input, or developing a new application? Get in touch with our material experts and we can help you out.
Co-Development Service
CONCR3DE printer hardware allows printing with virtually any powder-based material and binder. To print with custom powders or binders, specific printer settings are required to ensure optimal results. If you consider printing with your own unique powder or binder, our material engineering team can help in the form of our Co-Development Service. By testing your powder or binder in our binder jetting system and applying our material and printer expertise, our engineers can provide the specific recoater and printer settings, as well as instructions for use. Even custom hardware solutions to your printer are possible. The time required to achieve results depends on the type of binder, among other parameters. We will discuss the scope of this service beforehand.

Our engineers can also help you to tune and customize both hardware and software to your specific material or application.
Waveform Development Service
Every binder has unique properties in rheology, density, and consistency. Therefore, the behavior of each binder being jetted from the printhead is different. Using a drop watcher, CONCR3DE can visualize, characterize, and adjust the behavior of the droplets exiting the printhead - and thereby accurately control drop size, speed, and shape. We offer Binder Development as a service if you aim to print with your own custom or unique binders. Our material engineering team creates 6 to 8 waveforms for different levels of saturation, including a visual drop behavior guide.

If you aim to use pre-engineered CONCR3DE binders, we have already optimized the print settings for you.
Pioneer program
Are you looking to be at the forefront of additive manufacturing and new developments? In that case, our CONCR3DE Pioneer Program is just for you. By joining the Pioneer Program, you ensure that you are amongst the first to learn about our latest hardware, software and material developments. We share any novel material options, beta software and prototype hardware additions. It also gives you the opportunity to provide our development team with your feedback and suggestions. Joining the Pioneer Program also makes you eligible for discounted Technical Service rates.

Technology
Binder jetting 3D printing is based on two key elements: a powder and a binder. The powder can be a concrete, metal, ceramic, or other material you want to bond in powder form. The binder is a liquid, which acts as an adhesive between powder layers.
