Additive manufacturing of oversized plastic components offers enormous advantages for mold-free small- and medium-size production runs. The key to this is Q.BIG 3D’s VFGF (variable fused granulate fabrication) process.

Reiser Simulation and Training, in Berg near Starnberg, Germany, commissioned Murtfeldt Additive Solutions (Murtfeldt AS) in Kusterdingen, Germany, to produce a modular cockpit for a full-flight helicopter simulator. The cockpit was made on a Queen 1 system from Q.BIG 3D at Murtfeldt.

Tool-free production with a 3D extrusion printer opens up short time-to-market strategies for users. Eliminating tooling costs and utilizing new build strategies for component geometries combine with extremely short amortization periods for this system technology. The special feature of this technology, compared to alternative AM strategies such as FDM printers, is the use of commercially available standard granulate without filaments in 3D printing.
