Hot Lithography: Flexibility trough digital production

In the past decade, transformative trends like digitalization, e-mobility, and miniaturization have driven demand for innovative solutions across various industries. Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, has emerged as a powerful tool, offering rapid solutions with advantages like tool-free production, design flexibility, and production adaptability. However, several challenges have hindered its widespread adoption beyond prototyping.

Cubicure, a pioneer in this field, has made significant strides. Their breakthrough lies in Hot Lithography technology, which extends the process window and introduces novel material concepts (such as flame retardant materials). Initially deployed in the precise Caligma® printing system, this approach successfully scaled to the Cerion® digital production platform. The newly developed Cerion® process boasts a print area of 1000 x 280 mm², enabling efficient mass production of small to medium-sized components.

Moreover, Cubicure has enhanced post-processing capabilities, ensuring efficient removal of resin residues from printed parts. By addressing the entire process chain, Cubicure is revolutionizing industrial AM customs production.
