SYGPAST project begins development of a hybrid 3D printer prototype

2021-04-28

Construction of a multifunctional hybrid 3D printer with a real-time quality control system is the main objective of the SYGPAST project. The project, co-financed by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBiR), is carried out in collaboration between PSNC and Sygnis New Technologies Sp. z o.o.

The main objective of the project is to create a prototype of the SYGPAST hybrid 3D printer allowing real-time control of the manufacturing process. The device will enable printing from liquid materials and filaments in one process and will provide the user with an open access to modify the printing parameters, thus allowing the use of own materials.

The SYGPAST printer will find its application in the space industry (requiring components of satellites), aviation (small turbine instrumentation), energy industry (specialized seals), chemical and material industry (both for validation of manufactured materials and production of specialized equipment assisting in research), and everywhere, where maintaining the continuous operation of machines and their parts requires efficient adaptation to regularly changing working conditions (rearming of machine lines by producing specialized adapters, holders and protections).
